'Why does everyone want to divide us?': EU presidents bid adieu to the UK

European institutions should question whether British citizens were given enough information about the consequences of Brexit, said David Sassoli, the president of the European Parliament. He bids farewell to the UK alongside Ursula von der Leyen, president of the commission, and Charles Michel, EU council president.

Personally I don’t agree with Brexit. But the Guardian just seems salty at this point.

The UK joined a common market not a United States of Europe

Gotta love how a majority of brits only read right wing tabloids but come to comment on centre left paper’s articles when there is an opportunity to brag and show how little informed they are. You should read a variety of things and not only when you think there is an opportunity to “show those liberals”. You are misinformed and should not be so proud

The EU should've remained a trade union. Trade and nothing else. If it was just a trade union, the UK people wouldn't have wanted to leave.

Remember the choice of candidates when we voted for those three people. Neither do I.

[Wrigggy]

because you're centralising too much power, that's why everyone wants to divide you. Power is an end, not a means.

Britain has always been a reluctant partner in the so-called European marriage and has been treated as such by fellow Europeans

I feel like von der Leyen is the one dividing. In this and other statements she pretends that “Europe” is the EU. Anmaßung pur, as they say in Germany.

What was the EEC ?

Maybe because your an unelected mafia, but hey who knows.

[HStephen]

you are already divided you on one side and EU citizens on the other you don't need help

[saxonstacker]

Because you took the little people for muppets.

The EU is not perfect. But it's much better than casting off into the Atlantic with no direction resulting in far more losses than gains. We'll be back but the EU needs to change as well. The UK will return to its rightful place soon. Hand in hand with France and Germany at the heart of Europe.


Now I can't wait to be told I'm wrong by Brexit supporters who will call me a remainer. Yes I am a remainer what're you going to do about it

[mmtot]

Let us unite you so we can control you.

[quadq]

Mr Cameron was not asking for much, look what the EU refusal caused
Decentralize everything

If these people don't have the intelligence to figure out the answer to this question they have no claim to the positions they are appointed to. None.

These people are like Bond villains. 5 seconds and counting
