so no planning done

2019-07-19 09:07:42 UTC  

yup lmao

2019-07-19 09:08:25 UTC  

did anyone do any planning

2019-07-19 09:08:30 UTC  

not really...........

2019-07-19 09:08:33 UTC  

pre negotiations

2019-07-19 09:08:37 UTC  

nope?

2019-07-19 09:08:42 UTC  

pretty embarassing

2019-07-19 09:08:51 UTC  

oh you mean aside from cameron going to ask europe for more concessions?

2019-07-19 09:08:53 UTC  

thats about it

2019-07-19 09:09:29 UTC  

i think ppl made out brexit to be simpler than it actually ended up being too

2019-07-19 09:09:36 UTC  

tbh if they EU had given us some token shit

2019-07-19 09:09:37 UTC  

or at least our politicians did

2019-07-19 09:09:39 UTC  

when he went

2019-07-19 09:09:46 UTC  

people wouldn't have been so pissed off

2019-07-19 09:10:08 UTC  

brexit negotiations aren’t as simple as strolling into brussels and getting what we want :x

2019-07-19 09:10:14 UTC  

and yeah

2019-07-19 09:10:18 UTC  

but to be fair

2019-07-19 09:10:24 UTC  

yea but it didnt help when our team wasn't up to the task at all

2019-07-19 09:10:32 UTC  

relative to the rest of the EU, the UK already has pretty good terms

2019-07-19 09:10:45 UTC  

so it was probably not received warmly by them

2019-07-19 09:10:46 UTC  

the EU have a shit ton of very good negotiators

2019-07-19 09:10:51 UTC  

who did we have?

2019-07-19 09:10:53 UTC  

yeah true

2019-07-19 09:10:58 UTC  

david davis lmao

2019-07-19 09:11:09 UTC  

yea he had some ideas

2019-07-19 09:11:14 UTC  

“just be more confident!!!”

2019-07-19 09:11:14 UTC  

but t.may ignored them anyway

2019-07-19 09:11:20 UTC  

so what does that help

2019-07-19 09:11:38 UTC  

he was pretty ill informed as well

2019-07-19 09:11:48 UTC  

yea i think so

2019-07-19 09:12:04 UTC  

though yeah t may was the least prepared

2019-07-19 09:12:08 UTC  

tbh they are so used to brussels doing the heavy lifting

2019-07-19 09:12:17 UTC  

maybe it wouldn’t have been *quite* as bad without t may

2019-07-19 09:12:18 UTC  

ironically our gov is not very capable

2019-07-19 09:12:19 UTC  

lmao

2019-07-19 09:12:31 UTC  

t.may it all kinds of worse!!

2019-07-19 09:12:50 UTC  

but i still feel like a lot of brexiteers had this “have our cake and eat it” attitude which would’ve made it still a travesty if any one of them was PM

2019-07-19 09:13:09 UTC  

yea there was always going to be a downside

2019-07-19 09:13:16 UTC  

but a fair amount of brexiteers knew that

2019-07-19 09:13:26 UTC  

politicians always promise easy stuff

2019-07-19 09:13:32 UTC  

yup
