Cringeworthy but, with a bottle of gin and some other bottle of booze hidden in that red gift packet, it might work on Juncker.

A fitting reposte for the racist and classist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, following her most recent anti-Brexit column:

While its easy to mock the hamper, its more symbolic than anything else.
I imagine the dutch would include douwe egberts coffee in their hamper but there aren't that many coffee bean growers in holland.

I imagine the Dutch wouldn't a) try to leave the EU or b) come up with such an embarrassing way of trying to show what the EU will miss when they're gone.
If they did, the basket would be filled with tulips and fresh fruit and veg. Probably some Edam cheese and a bottle of Heineken too. It would look a hell of a lot less shit than than the piece of work cobbled together by your lot.
Symbolic of what? How fecked your industries are when it'll be much harder to import raw ingredients?
Not to mention as so many reply tweets have said, Winston "United States Of Europe" Churchill.
There's only so many faces to palm in the world, have mercy.
Absolutely, as long as by 'fitting reposte' you actually mean 'terribly written, intentionally misleading and basically idiotic riposte'.
The fact he tries to claim she 'mixed up' Europe and the EU by using the two interchangably says about all that needs to be said about this nonsense.
Digby Jones is a cretin
Also noticed the Hendricks was missing from the hamper in a later picture. Wonder who had that

Yes it is symbolic. Symbolic of a silliness and lack of seriousness that our media seems to encourage in our leaders. Just like when a group of elected politicians went along with this..
You think foreign governments see this stuff and think they're dealing with serious professionals? We're dealing with the single biggest foreign and domestic political challenge of our generation, and we have our politicians acting like they're on Noel's fecking House Party.
The best thing about that lame attempt at satire (how old is the writer? 12?) is that it drew my attention to Alibhai-Brown’s piece. I hadn’t read anything by her before and she writes quite well. Yer man could learn a lot from her. Not just about Europe.
Digging the Marmite but Hendricks Gin is garbage for brand whores and bettered by Aldi's Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin at less than half the price. Twats.

Gove looks like he's holding up a hospital drip. Is it feeding him or Global Britain??

Yes just as symbolic, we associate tulips with the dutch and not from their origin, same with Delfts blue which is just an imitation of Chinese pottery.
So, are you saying the tulips aren't grown there?
I don't believe I said that but carry on. My mum used to grow them, perhaps they originate from Bitton?
Symbolic, I'd have put a curry in the hamper too, it doesn't get more British than that.
I'm sure i couuld find you a Remainer columnist without the snobbery and racial prejudice...
I've been watching Alibhai-Brown as a panellist on Dateline London for many years (the line-up changes weekly), she is among the worst on there irrespective of one's politics.
Unless you are anti-English in particlar, prejudiced against working-class people and are nauseatingly conceited, i'm not sure that there's a lot to like in her aarticle.
I have gone for Pot smoking liberal elite for Shakespeare, but you can't win them all.
They thought the EU will crumble into pieces the day Brexit happened or at least it will bend over backwards and give the UK whatever it wanted. That seems more unlikely every passing day. No wonder why these talks of a second referendum are gaining momentum. If they lose then they will come out as beacons of democracy and 'reluctantly' withdraw their article 50 letter. If they win, well, no one can really blame them for their mess can they?
I hope the EU won't accept it. We can't have countries playing games like that.

What's your point? Is my inherent Brexit-based racism and insular mind supposed to suffer some form of psychotic break beause there might be a foreign connection to things which Brits like?
It's not the 18th century, we don't own the world anymore.What's your point? Is my inherent Brexit-based racism and insular mind supposed to suffer some form of psychotic break beause there might be a foreign connection to things which Brits like?
Whoever said we did? It's a trope i hear from dogmatic Remain voters predominantly.
A bunch of brexiteers literally went to Brussels with transnational gifts to show off Britians trading prowess.
So what? It's just like the blue passport episode: social media Remainers forthing at the mouth over the petty. I thought you were supposed to be the cool, calm, smart people.
Are you really expecting us to ignore the mind bending stupidity of these people? This is the biggest change since in Britain since the fall of the empire, not a game of fecking tiddly winks. And everything that's come out of Westminster only points to it being a disaster of epic proportions.
Am i in here talking about every silly remark/act or simple event on the part of Remainers, regardless of its significance? You lot need to leave the echo chamber and enjoy some clean air (must be loads of nice places in your part fo the world).
What does your pretence of seriousness have to do with anything?
Most people weren't frothing at the mouth when it came to the passport affair - just recognising the stupidity of spending something silly like £500m of changing the colour of something.
I was in it for the memes, personally.
Wasn’t the passport contract up for renewal anyway?
