My country approves of this message.
Unfortunately, the EU does not always prove itself to be the most reliable ally for Britain either. For example, the recent push to have a defence pact between the EU and the UK has stalled with the EU pushing to include fishing rights in a DEFENCE agreement.
When Britain can’t rely on putting mutual benefits above petty trade deal negotiations, the answer may not lie in turning towards Europe.
It’s about time for the UK to hopefully come to this conclusion.
Yes please. More close cooperation between the EU and UK. Just STFU about Brexit and all will be well.
Sincerely,

Fun fact. We need DOGE in EU just to make it somehow effective organization.
Now it is over-regulated, over-constrained bureaucrat’s heaven, entwined in bigger and smaller conflicts of interests and able to accomplish nothing.
Bureaucrats are vital.
The slowing down of systems prevents recklessness like we see in the US.
It might seem counterproductive, but it saves democracy.
Always funny that for most Americans they view Europe as a collective whole instead of a bunch of different nations with varying l something opposing interests
>Since 1945, Washington has viewed Europe as its first line of defence against Russia. Germany was the US’s preferred cold war battlefield, Britain its airfield. Perish the thought that Americans might actually fight on their own soil
Does anyone in western Europe actually believe that they would’ve been better off if we let the Soviets do whatever they wanted in Europe in 1945? This kind of shit is peak western European cringe. It’s actually worse than the Eastern Europeans that blame us for “letting” the Soviets occupy them, because at least those people got fucked for 45+ years and their anger is just spilling over at the wrong people.
I hope that we can use this opportunity to come together as Europeans, we are definitely stronger united that separated. I do feel like it will require movement on both sides and I am even inclined to allow the UK in to the EU with some of its former opt outs.
They say this when rn, we are a better ally than the EU is. Challenging Britain, who’s going to risk their lives and resources to defend Europe, and in return for them giving something they give up fishing rights. Lol.
Always remember Charles’ words. Just like the US, don’t trust the UK.
britain has been the one telling uncle sam to do the things uncle sam does .. London is the head of all operations , besides one other pest
Thatcher’s attitude and the whole incremental conservatism meltdown over Europe integration cost Britain dearly in the end. I believe that there bittersweet memories in EU foreign services about « I want my money back », « have our cake and eat it » and more generally recurring obstruction.
