Brexit has been foreseeably the most disastrous decision any European state has made since 1939.

It’s also the most unfriendly & expensive single decision 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has ever made for itself (in terms of treasure & comity between 🇬🇧‘s constituent nations & the groups which make them up).

Its incalculable costs in treasure & peace of mind for its closest allies 🇮🇪, 🇵🇹, 🇵🇱, 🇩🇰, 🇳🇱, 🇬🇮, 🇩🇪, 🇯🇵, and 🇫🇷 were all predictable, & predicted.

10s m of pple continue to have billions of sleepless nights over the predictable friction Brexit has unnecessarily introduced into their lives.

What has been completely unforeseeable is how the English government has made EVERY situation it brought upon itself worse by, uniquely, being unable to foresee the outworkings of its unforced errors.

Not extending the transition period last June.

Solving an internal political problem – not announcing 🎄 ’s cancellation in time, meant a mutated strain was necessary as a scapegoat.

Today’s decision whether or not, & if so under which conditions, land, air & sea connections with an 🏝 State will be restored is being decided by the 🇪🇺27 in 🇧🇪 without 🇬🇧 presence.
