It would appear that the good weather has caused the more rabid of the brexiteers to be hitting the sauce significantly earlier than usual...

This has to be the most ridiculous post of the year on this forum...

How do you know?

If we crawl back to on our knees to the EU to withdraw Article 50 then who are we to dictate future terms?

The EU are already threatening to intervene directly in Poland and Hungary, once they have a EU Reichs 'peace keeping force' they will be able to do that.

Currently EU law has supremacy over UK law, if you defy EU law that is sedition.

I'm not going to deny that there are positives regarding the EU it's (again) not done a very good job, has it?

Georgia.
Bosnia.
Croatia.
Chechnya.
Kosovo.
Macedonia.
Then more recently Crimea and Ukraine.
That's without even mentioning the Spanish violence towards their own in Catalonia - or how about their attempted interference with Irish peace, with the continuing refusal to accept that the UK doesn't want a hard border.

Every attempt at Greater Germania has had blood on its hands and generally speaking the bigger it got the nastier it got.

The EU is just Greater Germania by other means.

Fiercely proud of my birthright, StillRemainers need to understand the consequences if they attempt to overturn Brexit.

LibDems very good at lecturing others, very bad at spotting wrong uns in their own ranks though:

Apart from Croatia none of the countries you mention are in the EU. I understand the UKIP survival guide states that every conflict in the world is Europe's fault, but there is slightly more to geopolitics than just blaming everything on the French.

'but there is slightly more to geopolitics than just blaming everything on the French.'

A good starting point nonetheless.

I remember the late Allan Clarke responding to criticism of his view of the French military:

He then listed their 'successes' since WW2 :

Dien ben phu
Suez
Algeria
Suppressing a domestic revolt
1968

Who cares about our reputation

Anyone involved in international trade or diplomacy. Anyone who might loan us money or engage in long term commitments.

Our reputation is hugely important.

Our 'reputation' of handing our ATM card to the EU, driving them to the cashpoint and then giving them our PIN, I presume you mean

They've fully accepted we don't want a hard border. They just don't believe our ideas work. If we don't convince them otherwise then we get regulatory equivalence and there's no hard border. Or we weasel out of something else we've agreed.

You don't seem to care about the reputations of others so why care about a country's?

Is someone not flying then?
Or is someone waiting in an airport lounge as they post, like they seem to have done for the past ...... oh, too long.

You've lost me I'm afraid. Who's reputation do or don't I care about and why is whether or not I'm posting from an airport relevant?
