The British do this to themselves.

They EU are asking for early notification and it's for transparency reasons.
And it's not a special British clause.
Yes, it could result in the EU stepping, but that would be a very big thing, and it hasn't happened yet.
If it happens, we can all get upset about it.
Some Brexit "neutrals" will finally learn that Remainers never believed the EU would be fluffy to those outside the bloc.
Some Brexit supporters will learn what it *actually* feels to have an economic super power on their doorstep able to act in their interest and against theirs, in opposed to their fantasies about how they are subsidising companies to leave.
Lots of people will learn the EU can move quite quickly when it has to.
Of course, this wouldn't effect us if we were in the EU...and we'd probably want transparency at this point too.
AZ were not able to satisfy the Commission when they met with them yesterday, and now the EU wants greater visibility. If AZ aren't covering anything up, it may never go beyond this.
Right now this is a non-story that has the potential to be a big story in the future, but as usual the legendary self created shoulder chip the UK has is going to make it the biggest story of the day.
But the British press need something for the EU haters to masturbate too.
So here we are in outrage city again.
I hate to break this to everybody but this is probably going to be UK political discourse for the next 10 years at the least.
It's going to be a long "Once in a generation".

Tomorrow, January 6th, MAGA chuds, Proud Boys, and white supremacists are planned to descend on Washington D.C. to contest the election. Among them will be NSC-131, a New England based neo-Nazi organization. Let's welcome them by saying hi to one of their members, Eddie Stuart!


Edward Stuart, from Chester, New Hampshire, has been a member of Nationalist Social Club (NSC) since the very beginning and is a staple participant in their actions. He is known in NSC chats as "Carl Jung" and is well connected in the New England Nazi scene.

NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi group that was started in Massachusetts in early 2020 by Chris Hood. You can learn more about NSC and it's members in these threads:


Eddie describes his ideology as "Esoteric Hitlerism" which is an occult form of Nazism that literally worships Adolf Hitler as a god, or, specifically, as an incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Here is Ed holding the RigVeda with some of his occult Nazi pals. Interesting Ed!

Much of this ideological insight was gained from Eddie's Twitter, where he originally used his "Carl Jung" persona and reposts explicit neo-fascist content and racist memes. In one edited picture, Eddie can be seen at an NSC event in late June 2020 holding a Nazi Sonnenrad flag
