Nick Clegg U-Turns on EU

Yes, rub your eyes in disbelief ... as multi millionaire Sir Nick Clegg, the ex-liberal democrat "Liberal in Chief", now the guy in charge of limiting free speech and cancel culture on FaceBook, actually u-turns on his pro-EU stance.

Former deputy prime minister and arch Remainer Sir Nick Clegg has slammed Brussels for letting Europeans down with its sluggish vaccination roll-out and insists something has gone “very badly wrong” with the bloc in recent months.

He has a well balanced opinion! About two things you can therefore be sure. He is not a conservative and he is not a brexiter.

Only fanatics believe their idols are without mistakes and can't accept there are downsides to everything and everybody. I'm sure you cannot list 10 downsides of brexit?

I agree, but only a fanatic doesn't allow for downsides and accepts them.

You're discussing with me, not the EU. But obviously you are unable to differentiate. Note, that is characteristic of fanatism.

That won't be you then.

I'm enjoying the debate so much I might return to see how long you take a holiday for next time ..........

As a comment on the Cleggy link above says (and you might like to take heed) :
'Teacher at the College of Europe and vociferous Remainer, Jon Worth told Clegg to “kindly f**k off back to the Facebook job”.'

I’m sure fishermen and many businesses would use the same three words to describe Brexitas.
