When UK says it want's value for money now, and didn't get it as a member before Brexit, then the question is why do all other members stay? Not only did UK get VFM but also special carve outs in multiple agreements. This special treatment for UK is frankly tiresome, old and embarrassing.

Events Since the Traitorous Eight Caved Confirm That They Screwed Tens of Millions of Americans Over for Nothing
Betraying your promises, your values, your party and your countrymen is bad enough—but getting nothing in return makes the capitulation of eight Senate Democrats to a ghoul a truly grotesque display.

There's no point in ever compromising with fascists. Because they'll never stick to their word and will always want more. They'll never be happy until they destroy democracy completely and pocket the winnings. The gatekeepers put in place to protect us from fascism are finding that out the hard way.

Gent-Wevelgem wordt omgedoopt tot "In Flanders Fields. From Middelkerke to Wevelgem", Middelkerke is de nieuwe startplaats | VRT NWS: nieuws
Zeg vanaf 2026 niet langer Gent-Wevelgem, wel "In Flanders Fields. From Middelkerke to Wevelgem.". De klassieker krijgt dus niet alleen een nieuwe naam, want de start verhuist ook van Ieper naar Middelkerke. Er is een overeenkomst voor 10 jaar afgesloten, zo maakte organisator Flanders Classics bekend.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,
