What a novel idea. If only there was an existing international framework for European trade that Britain to enter. They could call the effort to join it Brentrance.
From yesterday’s Financial Times: [EU rejects UK push to create a single market for goods](https://www.ft.com/content/b13e35d4-93b2-4c24-8a30-412733978093)
They keep trying to pick out all the nice things and then saying pwetty pwease?
Remove need for work visa for EU citizens first, win-win for both UK and EU
UK always wanted this – a cherry picked single market subset taking what they like and skipping what they don’t. But EU single market includes the full set – goods, services, capital and people. You take is all or you don’t.
The fact that UK is still asking for bespoke deal means the still haven’t internalized their lesson from the brexit breakup.
This is not going to go anywhere.
I would imagine most Europeans would be thinking “you wanted it, you got it, suck it up”.
Days of UK cool are rapidly disappearing …
Better long term solution: breakup the UK and enter the EU and Schengen as separate nations. Much future squabbling avoided.
Dear UK,
It has already been established. It’s called the European Union, and you left it.
Sincerely,
The Sane World
