FRANCE today told Britain to appoint a new prime minister within “a few days” and to immediately quit the EU by soon triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Speaking in Berlin following a meeting of the six founding member states of the EU, French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told the UK not to play a “cat and mouse” game following the historic Brexit vote.

He said: “Of course a new prime minister must be appointed, that will probably require a few days but this is quite urgent.

French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault? Who died and made him god?

This is worse for the EU oligarchs than it is for the UK.

Ordered the UK to name a new PM? Ordered?

Got to hell my fine froggie.

I don’t even like the UK but Order?

What’s France going to do if the UK tells them to just hold on? Kick them out.

He didn’t say ‘I am ordering you to get started with leaving’. Daily Express chose to use the word ‘order’.

And this is exactly why they will drag their feet.

The five stages of loss / defeat, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

One down, four to go.

“The British reply should be, “Sod off, you frogs! We’re closing the Chunnel!” “

To really scare the Frogs the Brits ought to stream some live video of railcars with Challenger 2s waiting at the Folkestone end.

“...Volkswagen Beetles, which he hated. He called them the secret weapon of the Fourth Reich sent here to maim US citizens!”

It sounds like your German friend had a typical German dry sense of humor.

I drove a 1956 VW Beetle for several years. Sold it as I headed off to Vietnam. Missed that car ever since.

;^)

While working over there I always reminded myself that at least the Scotts are not British.

Until now, it was hard to tell who was the worst of the two. I didn’t think the brits had it in them but I’m happy for them they did. For now, they have shaken the world up a bit. Hopefully some of it for the better.

The plutocrats are going to make this economic fallout as bad as possible though so they can say, “See if you had just let things alone it would have been fine. We’ve told you before that we know how to do things better than you peons.”

If Scotland separated where would brits go hill walking or get scotch and what would become of Balmoral?

I wrote in another thread:

Yes, you are correct, the losers will inflict maximum pain and WS is indeed a one world government, new world order and collectivist charter member.

For obvious reasons, Merkel wants to destroy every trace of European history. But why France?

England is being too kind. It’s taking a cool, calm, calculated approach so as not to leave the EU isolated too soon.

I keep thinking that and hoping so and wondering when people will catch on that there is no reason for the financial markets to collapse.

The UK never went on th euro as a currency so how is that affected? One excuse for the market collapse was that the UK would have to bolster their currency because they did not have the euro to back it anymore.

Really?

There is a difference.
The U.K. Voted to join the European Economic Community.
This morphed all on its own into the European Community, then finally the European Union.
....


Yes, the UK citizens were sucked into a union they never asked for.

It was a perfect example of the frog in a pot of water with the heat turned up.

When the packs of dingoes put them inside in small pieces, the will leave the bones behind. I figure each pack can hold 30 or 40 of them, and I’ll bet Australia will gladly donate several hundred thousand packs. I realize it’s not fair for the dingoes, but they are good swimmers. LOL. Of course I meant dinghies. Should have put on my glasses.
