Dunkirk II

It looks like an actual Brexit deal is in reach.

Good:

Britain and the European Union struck a divorce deal on Friday that paves the way for arduous talks on future trade ties, easing immediate pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May and boosting hopes of an orderly Brexit.

More from the BBC.

I figured the European Union would cut a deal. They've proven willing to let Iran go nuclear if Iran will sign trade deals with Europe before the nukes fly so why should the EU be bad ass conquerors if Britain wants to leave?

What I didn't know--and still don't know--is whether Britain can get out before British Remainers sabotage the process and reverse the Brexit vote by hook or crook.

And don't be fooled by the soft fantasies being peddled of a safe play pen built on ever expanding cheese regulations.

The EU royalty may say they want a United States of Europe by 2025, but what they really want is a Union of Servile Socialist Republics.

Brexit is a warning to grip the provinces tighter in "ever closer union" while they can to preempt that sort of dangerous thinking. I mean, what might happen if more Europeans remember they live in states and not provinces?!

Does Britain really want to be a mere province of the EU imperial state? Get out whether orderly or not! Just escape and rebuild from the mistake of joining a free trade pact that morphed into an oppressive continental empire so slowly that the British barely noticed in time.

UPDATE: How cute! German conservatives think the EU cares what they think!

Senior members of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives on Saturday rejected the vision for a "United States of Europe" put forward by the Social Democrats (SPD), with whom they are hoping to form a governing coalition.

Yes, "ever closer union" is very interested in Germany.
