so no planning done
yup lmao
did anyone do any planning
not really...........
pre negotiations
nope?
pretty embarassing
oh you mean aside from cameron going to ask europe for more concessions?
thats about it
i think ppl made out brexit to be simpler than it actually ended up being too
tbh if they EU had given us some token shit
or at least our politicians did
when he went
people wouldn't have been so pissed off
brexit negotiations aren’t as simple as strolling into brussels and getting what we want :x
and yeah
but to be fair
yea but it didnt help when our team wasn't up to the task at all
relative to the rest of the EU, the UK already has pretty good terms
so it was probably not received warmly by them
who did we have?
yeah true
david davis lmao
yea he had some ideas
“just be more confident!!!”
but t.may ignored them anyway
so what does that help
he was pretty ill informed as well
yea i think so
though yeah t may was the least prepared
tbh they are so used to brussels doing the heavy lifting
maybe it wouldn’t have been *quite* as bad without t may
ironically our gov is not very capable
lmao
t.may it all kinds of worse!!
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
yea there was always going to be a downside
but a fair amount of brexiteers knew that
politicians always promise easy stuff
yup
