Did you make that quote up, YMB, or are you citing the DM (chortle, splutter) article as supporting a quote from elsewhere? Either way, it ain’t a very good way of trying to make a point.
Well I think it's paraphrasing and slightly exaggerating many remainers views stated here and elsewhere. The EU is immune, we are doomed doomed, doomed.
Ok, in simpler terms. The EU are doing just that (waving us goodbye). There has been zero compromise from them. What specific examples do you have which makes you think our leaving means anything to them?
They’re either the tyrannical overlords leave voters paint them as (in which case why would they care about our leaving) or they’re desperate to see us not leave (which they’re has been zero sign off, and which makes the ‘tyrannical overlords’ image defunct). You can’t have it both ways.
