Von der Leyen on the new Brexit cliff-edge

The UK would suffer the most if officials failed to meet a new December 2020 deadline to finalise a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warns.

She knows full well that denying democracy isn’t courage and she wouldn’t praise her own people if they we’re anti-democratic so why the pretence. You look silly

[dragoncarp]

Pull your finger out, cut back on the expensive lunches and you may get a deal done with the UK in 11 months.
No extensions EU

[Frank]

Self congratulatory bureaucrats. She comes from a family of civil servants. All sponging off the public.

[stumac]

A good partnership is desirable and the cliff edge (as described) is probably the only thing that will bring it about.

Yes, they bloodywell will miss us, you can count on that, there’s nothing more sure, ha ha! Bye bye!

[hamishsomerville]

No but you will miss the money honey 🍯

[mike-vdus]

And this is WHY the people of the UK voted to LEAVE..
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN AND THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Little time you have had 3 1/2 years, what a load of cobbler's.

But Arsula, you can fucking keep them!! We don’t want them.

[lefou]

1:01 yeah nice salute! It all makes sense now!!

[lefou]

How funny that she made her speech...in ENGLISH!! 😉

[ganimisa]

EU is on a cliff edge again because Brexit is happening.

[missiontent]

She reminds me of the wonderful Katie Boyle comparing the Eurovision Song Contest. The EU is to politics what the Eurovision song contest is to

[andypandy-ysxy]

Von Der Leyen nah...We don't trust you, never have... No deal is better then any shitty double crossing 'deal' with you and The Dystopian European Marxist Union..

[Pescatoreditartaglini]

Brexit parlamentarians deserve the same respect of European parlamentarians. WTF???

[terrortorn]

They all look like they are about to lay an egg.

[icarus]

We will miss the people who don't follow democracy and not miss those that do. Sounds about right.

[rodrigogimenez-ricolaguna]

I am so happy UK is leaving the EU. TODOS estaremos mejor sin ellos

[Frank]

"In a 2011 interview with Der Spiegel, von der Leyen expressed her preference for "a united states of Europe – run along the lines of the federal states of Switzerland, Germany or the USA" which would capitalize on Europe's size by agreeing on core issues relating to finance, tax and economic politics.[155]" Scary statist.

[timpulmanAustralia]

What a mole. Being German she will be free to undermined any European Parliament she wants without any objection from the Brexiteers.
