Clegg said:
My own view… is that the United Kingdom will have to sort of architect a sort of rapprochement, or re-entry into the European Union in one shape or form
Do you agree with him?
Clearly UK should rejoin but the EU is not in any way on a “brink of collapse”.
He claims EU went worse since Brexshit and the UK must rejoin to somehow “save” the EU which is a ridiculous claim. British exceptionalism at its finest.
I’m not sure if he’s claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven’t listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)
Maybe he’s referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently
French gov didn’t collapse, just got a stupid president that needs to stop messing with democracy
The good old “you’ll need us more than we need you”. Even as a Brit, I laughed at that claim.
When will the British exceptionalism stop? What needs to happen?
Fuck’s sake, just admit Brexit was a colossal fuckup and that it fucked the country over and we need to rejoin to save our own arses. They don’t need this shitfest country.
They probably profited as much as they could buy shorting the British market now the rich investors want to join back up to the EU so they can get the economy back up and sell off the stocks they bought low.
Of all the reasons to rejoin the EU, saying it’s about to collapse unless the UK somehow swoops in to aid a bunch of unpopular right wing governments (which is basically the same state the UK is in already) isn’t going to mesh well with people who voted leave on the idea that the UK was artificially propping up the EU.
They don’t give two shits for consistency. They just need a narrative where they’re the heroes for being born on the correct dirt.
He took Mark Zuckerberg’s cock out of his mouth long enough to say this?
I swear the fucking god, if in 2010 you told me to pick which out of Clegg and Cameron would be working for Facebook, and which an Alzheimer’s Research charity, I would have picked the complete opposite of what actually happened.

This right here, theres a very good chance we either wont be allowed back in, or if we are it will be on shite terms, and i dont really think that we can blame them, not considering by all accounts we had one of the sweetest deals…
Nick, I agree with you, but I don’t need you on my side.
‘I agree with Nick’ is back! Begrudgingly.
Mr Clegg, who is now the president of global affairs at social media giant Meta,
So, Tory enabler and now Facebook enabler, what a guy.
Whatever you need to tell yourself, honey.
bloc is on brink of collapse
Oh dear, how sad, nevermind.
No seriously, why would we want to join a collapsing institution? “Buy this house, it’s about to fall on your head” great argument Cleggy boy.
yes please collapse EU, it’ll be good for everyone, especially the victims of austerity. look at how bad Germany is doing, not even the ‘core’ countries are doing very well even GDP wise.
