You can pity all you like but you only have yourselves to blame. You created a corrupt political union which went far far beyond the realms and remit of a Common Market trade organisation. You were asked to reform countless times, but refused to. As a direct result of YOUR actions and undertakings the EU is now collapsing. It begins with the UK, being as ever the nation strong enough to stand up to bullies and it will be followed by countless other Exits.
In the end then, it is we that pity you. We pity the member states that will be left behind in this corrupt state as the rules will of course be changed to ensure that it becomes next to impossible for subsequent member states to leave the EU.
It will get ugly before it gets better.
Your Project Fear doom and gloom rhetoric is laughable and tiresome. We don't need to be told, WE KNOW we will be initially worse off but we equally know that further down the line, as a free and independent nation once more, we will reap the benefits and be the envy of the member states still locked into the regime.
