Dear EU,

[original PM]

Was the pen the PM signed the letter to the EU with a Pelican or a Montblanc, and is she sending it back to the EU too?

You do understand we voted to leave the political union which is the EU?

No one voted to only ever buy or use british things again.

We all appreciate that you are thick and that this makes you confused and angry, but you really should calm down.

A post saying they PM should give her pens back because they are not made in the UK is just fooking stupid.

I am neither confused or angry just so incredible disappointed with the basic stupidity of the human race.

Calm down, calm down!
Should be one the happiest days of your life.
If you're this angry now, imagine how you'll be in 5 years in the food bank queue.

It's okay my little Guardian reading snowflakes, go to your safe space and have a little weepy time.

Says the man wanting to turn the whole of the UK into a safe space from those nasty foreigners

How does this letter get delivered? Pop it in the post? Olympic torch style procession?

It's left on Jean-Claude's pillow stapled to a pig's head covered in Bullingdon Juice.

and here is the leaked reply from the EU, apparently:

Leaked EU response to Britain's Article 50 letter reveals focus on divorce deal | The Independent

- no trade deal before the UK has left
- transitional period max. 3 years
- ECJ is arbitrator during transitional period
- NO trade deal with EU, if UK engages in trade talks with other nations before Brexit
- no trade-offs between security/defense and trade
- financial exit settlement

interesting.....

It's clear the EU is going to "frog march" the UK into a humiliating 3 year transitional deal and then negotiate a really sh*tty deal, whilst the UK is on the ropes.

get out of that

I'm hoping for Tim Barrow chasing Donald Tusk across Brussels until one of them gets tired. That I'd pay to watch.

You seem to have forgotten we have the upper hand, Brittania rules the waves, 45% of our exports don't go to the EU, the Japanese who own most of the car companies haven't given a direct and clear warning they'll move if the deal is crap, no sirree, they haven't you know, we are definitely going to get passporting rights for our biggest industry, yessirree, yes we are...

No great surprises.

Interesting how the Ukrainian EU model could be the future solution with the UK.
