1/ "I think we should never forget that Brexit is a problem created by Britain, so the onus is on them to come up with solutions." - Leo Varadkar.

No. It's this type of thinking that's the problem. Why should the UK's democratic and legal right to leave the EU, be seen as a
2/ "problem"?

The UK didn't magically create Article 50 out of thin air. It already existed under EU Law. All we're doing is exercising our right to action it.

The only "problem" here is the EU's intransigence, as they see fit to punish the UK for daring to leave. They wish to
4/ set an example of us, before others decide to do the same.

I've long argued that if the EU was the perfect utopia that Remainers believe it is, there wouldn't be any need to punish the UK. They could let us go, and we'd "suffer our fate", for the other members to see.
5/ But they're truly worried. Because if we leave, and make a success of Brexit, then questions will rightly be asked by other member states, regarding their own membership.
