Seriously, all that ruckus for the brexit. No one gives a damn in France, really, because we came to understand what it means : GB remains subject to EU (terrible, terrible) standards, yet loses its voice to the standardization meetings.

England thought they were better than the rest of the European countries, and got served right. They thought they deserved better than concertation among equals, they'll be mute servents. Frankly that's good for everyone except GB, and it's well deserved IMHO.

It won't even hurt them that much, but the slap made a resounding and very satisfying bang.

Understanding Brexit for british people

Cathar, there's going to be a hard brexit more likely than not. This wont be good to anyone. It will clearly be worse for the UK, but it would be even better if things were cleared out in an amicable manner. Which is likely impossible. I think the whatshisname of Ireland has it right: odds are that there is no majority in the British parliament for *any* kind of deal

Gosh, that is so retarded I don't know what to say. I think in many ways the Brits are suffering from the English language. Every single EU negotiator or head of government reads the English press, and can get a fairly good idea of what Britain is thinking. How many Brits can read the Monde, El Pais or the Frankfurter Allgemeine?

(Should be noted that this article is a year old and more though.)

As if there's a single person in France or the rest of latin Europe who can read English. Hell, even Germany is famous for how bad they are at languages.

The irony of a Frenchman sounding off against anyone for "thinking they are better than the rest" is palpable.

In other new, Google got fined 4.3 billions euros for forcing phones using androids to come pre-packaged with their apps. After the Microsoft precedent, I don't know how they expected to have that one fly by, especially with Vestager on watch.

Am I a Euronerd for wanting a t-shirt with her face on it?

scriver: Certainly the elite have at least a good understanding of English, even if their accents are often atrocious.

[Cathar]

The difference exists. British think they are better by tantruming and revolt against the laws of gravity by jumping off cliffs. French know their skillset, do their stuff and they just happen to work better than the rest.

I mean no offense but we're not even making a big deal of winning the world cup. We won, duh, that's what we do

Obviously it's not irony, because Frogs are actually better than the rest, and therefore have a right to think as such.

I thought you had that traditional French counter-point to the Roman Triumph aka the burning of cars and looting of shops? :p

English and Northern Irish, thank you.

[Cathar]

Well to the credit of great britain the hooligans they send cause more damages than our own, I blame our publicly funded education system

[Sheb]

English and Northern Irish, thank you.

Northern Ireland voted remain, no?

I'm sorry, could you repeat that? It looked like you opened your mouth to speak but all that came out was the smell of asshole.

[Cathar]

Let me have my happy lapdance at my european representatives spanking great britain with the back of their hand. I'm just happy like when a father gives his tantruming kid a good physical educative lesson in the supermarket.

Deep down you know you deserve it

[scriver]

I'm Swedish. I'm just not a dickwad.

[hector13]

Remain chill, peeps. /puns

I need to check whether Norn Ireland votes Remain. I know two voted to stay and two voted to leave, but it’s morning-time. Not the best time for arguing about politics, but ah well.

[Cathar]

But you seem pretty upset. Be happy, you have 22 hours of sunlight per day in this season

Edit : You can insult me in swedish if you want, jag talar svensk bara litte. So as to bypass the moderation, and nothing will drag my mood down at this point
