Breathtaking arrogance.

Why "must" we redesign our border system to suit you?

#ExtrawurstGroßbritannien
Andrew and his friends would be better off not trying to undermine Europe and work within the Brussels system.

Of course, they don't give a sh¡t about Europe, only themselves.

It seems lack of legal oversight of the UK is not a impediment to demanding special treatment.

Alan, Twitter is an open forum, there is a reply function. If you can't use it, I can collate your replies here.

No, you use quote text to exclude people from the conversation.

It's hard when Europeans don't accept your exceptionalist worldview

You did this knowing that it excluded everyone else who had been involved in the conversation.

As I say, hard to hear this from European citizens about our SM.

But it is a pattern among exceptionalists.

Otherwise, for people to understand the context, they have to trawl through your retweets.

But maybe you don't like that scrutiny.

Precedents, #Brexit, #rejoinUK and how Europe works

A 🧵
The origins of this thread lie in a discussion around the 2016 ref with a Brexiter. He stated that “all we want is what Liechtenstein has – single market with no free movement – the precedent is there. EU should give it to us”.

I am dubious that this would have satisfied either him or the Brexiters, who needed to go through Brexit to understand why they shouldn’t want it.

So, Britons elect Cameron on the basis of holding a referendum, then vote for Brexit, the elect May and end SM, then elect Johnson and withdraw from Europe and European citizenship.

Yet apparently it's time to "blame the foreigners".

Zéro humility, zéro atonement for the mess you've caused.

Just shouting at Europeans to fix it for you to live in Spain with no health insurance and not pay your taxes.

Is this really you, rejoin UK?

If you want the rights of European citizens then #Article49.

If you don't want Europe, don't apply.

We're not changing our border controls to make your winning an internal UK argument easier.

Stop the #entitlement. Image
That's superb.

What is the UK offering for these accommodations?

If the answer is "nothing", then please stop the cakeism and work on that part.

No rights without obligations.

I have sympathy with incrementalist rejoiners, but there is no disguising this problem for them.

Short 🧵
No matter what relationship they ask for to get closer to Europe, Europe will retain its strategic and decision-making autonomy.

2.
This applies most obviously to the SM. The complexity of agreeing new rules and regulations, the tradeoffs needed, are already too complex without adding the UK.

Interesting thread from Edwin. It does fall into a couple of traps as far as a European reader is concerned.

Short 🧵
Firstly, there is no consisderation of the position of 🇳🇴🇪🇺🇮🇸🇱🇮. In short, why would this be good for us? Without that argument, this falls short.

2.
Why is the first thing that is discussed a UK opt-out, a major opt-out in fact, in this case Schengen? Just accept the package as is and apply for #EEA. Stop with the #ExtrawurstGroßbritannien

The obvious question for Brexiters and for Britain is:

What did you expect?

1.
theguardian.com/world/2023/mar…
The response is fairly typical. "Well Britain can set its own rule and buy British" and so forth.

But actually this is a problem of Brexit that is widespread in different industries and likely to be exacerbated.

2.
Britain is a large arms producer. It is also host to a major financial centre.

In both cases Brexiters insist that UK will continue exporting and trading because it is "important".

Here though we can see the lie become apparent.
