A chaotic 'no-deal' Brexit departure scenario is expected to be costly to U.K. businesses and inconvenient at its border.
BRUSSELS -- The date for the U.K.'s departure from the European Union was seemingly chiseled in stone -- March 29, 2019. When it finally arrived with no Brexit, Europeans could only shake their heads in frustrated disbelief.
"We have resisted the temptation to position the Commission in terms of sentiments," said EU spokesman Margaritis Schinas. "We don't do that." "In Brexit, everybody loses," said Ewa Osniecka-Tamecka, a vice rector of the College of Europe, speaking at a branch in Natolin, Poland. "Brexit diminishes both the EU and the U.K."
"Oh, in terms of doing his job. Goodness gracious me. Look, you know, I wish he was on my team and not their team," Farage, a member of the European Parliament, told the AP. What also is in tatters is a European admiration of Britain as a symbol of a well-run parliamentary democracy, with its sometimes brilliant discourse and vigorous debate.
