FRANCE today told Britain to appoint a new prime minister within “a few days” and to immediately quit the EU by soon triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Speaking in Berlin following a meeting of the six founding member states of the EU, French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told the UK not to play a “cat and mouse” game following the historic Brexit vote.

The continent is pissed because they’ve lost their Muslim relief valve. That entitlement utopia EU Muslims can pick as their 1st choice dole.

Just my impression, but I think the repercussions are worse for EU than it will be in reality for the UK.

Nothing urgent about it at all. "Threatening" maybe to those who support a United Europe against national sovereignty but "urgent" ... No, don't think so.

The whole point of Brexit is that France is done giving the UK orders.

To be effective, the Exit should be completed with all deliberate speed. Get out fast; get out now. Close the Chunnel and guard the channel.

The EU would probably be better served by reforming itself ASAP.

The British reply should be, “Sod off, you frogs! We’re closing the Chunnel!”

By delaying the exit the Globalists in the New World Order hope to not leave at all.

The plan is how about the 48% who want to stay.

"France is done giving the UK orders."

Wow! When the US Prez hears of this arrogance, he'll have to issue even more arrogant statements than before the vote.

If I’m Europe and my spouse just announced an intention to divorce, I say, “Fine, get out now.” Then I change the locks.

While french globalists can go straight to hades, it would indeed be a good idea for the UK to formally leave the EU as soon as possible before the elites figure out a way to void the result of the election.

There is a difference.
The U.K. Voted to join the European Economic Community.
This morphed all on its own into the European Community, then finally the European Union.
