This kind of thing simply alienates the UK public further against the EU and the more that happens, the more accepting they'll be of a full Brexit. So, in a way, the EU are just making the Governments job a lot easier.

That would be like inviting your spouse to join you when you're discussing negotiating tactics for your divorce.

to get this into perspective.
I wouldn't think Theresa is much for 'small talk' -she is the new girl at school who's arrived at the end of term when everyone's full of Christmas cheer and catching up with old mates. It was a short clip - we all feel a bit odd and ostracised at times - I don't suppose it was like that for the whole time. People can be unthinking but I don't honestly think there was genuine animosity there. |

It was made clear several times and accepted that immediately we would start seeing meetings where the UK are no longer at the table but i'm sure you and all other Brexiters know this as it has been made clear at every opportunity since the referendum that everyone who voted out is highly intelligent, watched every minute of every discussion (including recording and watching back all the ones from when they were at work) and made an educated decision based on knowing all the facts.

But hang on it was the UK that pushed hard for the EU to expand rapidly, years ago Boris Johnson made a speech in the House of Commons wanting far bigger expansion than the current 27 countries, including his beloved Turkey.
Yet, one of the prominent cries of those who voted leave was about the UK parliament taking back control....the very politicians that pushed forward plans that you regard as a disaster. ![]() The Social Care funding, NHS problems etc are directly down to the control UK politicians already have and want to give them more control to make a bigger mess of the country. And it doesn't matter what the issues are on home soil, we still have incompetents vainly trying to deal with them. |

Proof Theresa May was not shunned....
Here's May shunning a threesome with Merkel & Shultz
Mrs May confirms she likes a bit of Swede for Christmas. Mrs May in a 1 to 1 with the Prime Minister of Latvia at the Council meeting. Mrs May head & shoulders above the rest.. What's that phrase...'every picture tells a story' or is it a story can be created from one photo? The Mail uses one picture of Mrs May looking glum after the EU meeting....except the photo was of her arriving.

Or are relying on the 'biased' media for their interpretation of events and have been sucker punched? There are plenty of pictures showing May engaging in banter with others at the Council Meeting....but our media wanted to wind you and make you believe a certain sequence of events. |

I repeat many things were made clear before the vote including the fact that Cameron would trigger article 50 immediately after the vote if Leave won and Osborne would introduce an emergency budget.

So 'facts' were thin on the ground but predictions were all over the place. There is no doubt whatsoever that the UK will be, and should be, excluded from discussions after triggering article 50 as that is clearly stated until then however she is, and should be regarded as, a full participating member of the EU.
As i said, it wasn't just a matter of something that may happen in the worst scenario. We were told on multiple occasions and the phrase was used on multiple occasions on the News, debates and other political discussion shows that intermediately their would be meetings where we would no longer have "a seat at the table". Also, for the record because you may have missed it, we did have an emergency amount added to the cuts because the interdependent forecast after the vote at a cost to the public of nearly £60 billion was nearly twice as bad as the £30 Osbourne predicted that was branded "project fear". |

Your response confirms you are upset and have fallen for one of the oldest tricks played by the likes of the Mail.
On the other side, the video of her alone looking around does look funny. I have no doubts about the rag Mail and their ilk just as I have no doubts about the EU and their gang mentality which they've admirably demonstrated since the referendum. |

Holding meetings without your opponent in the room is good sense, not a lack of transparency.

Was the content of the meeting she was not invited to entirely or even heavily weighted to the UK exit or did it consist predominantly of other EU matters?
Theresa May was involved in all the following... Quote:
EU Heads of State or Government meet on 15 December 2016 in Brussels to discuss migration and security issues. Leaders are also discussing economy and youth, as well as the issue of the ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in the Netherlands
You'd think from some a brief 20 minute discussion at the end of the day was of more importance than security issues...but that's the British media for you, they know how to wind up its audience.

If you say so, do you know the numbers for the winning lottery ticket?
This in-fighting is typical cozy over-indulged gravy train ineptitude and apathy and 6 months on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38319340 Quote:
One of the issues to be discussed by the 27 non-UK EU leaders is who will lead their negotiating team, amid tensions between the different EU institutions. Without doubt countless more extortionately expensive meetings will be needed before they actually manage to do anything constructive.
It is expected to be former EU Commissioner Michel Barnier who is in charge of the European Commission's Brexit team. Former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, who is leading the European Parliament's Brexit taskforce, claimed it could start separate negotiations with the UK unless EU leaders take "its role seriously". He warned the European Commission not to "sideline" the Parliament. |
