Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Unless it suits Boris to have a row with the EU. When you see the sort of crap arch Brexiteer Dan Hannan is writing in the Trump Express, with at least one factual error in each paragraph, you will see there is still some appetite to have a row with the EU. Apparently Brexiteers can't get out of bed in the morning without needing something to have a row with the EU about.

Yes, the Exterminator likes to keep the base stirred up, but it's generally known that it's a Moonie rag, which doesn't sit well here except with the sort of white trash imbeciles I went to high school with who are only looking for confirmation of their hate.  And Hannan couldn't tell the truth if you nail-gunned it to his tongue.  But the EU would be wise not to rise to the antics of de Piffle & Co.  It's just a dog and pony show to convince the minions they're pwning the intellectual, internationalist perverts on the continent, same as the GQP here.  But unlike what the GQP can do, the Tories are outside the EU and so can't go Trotskyite, and they lack the weaponry to cause much damage from the outside.

Well, they run the Washington Examiner, which lots of illiterates confuse with the Washington Post.

Ah no, I think you're confusing the Examiner with the Washington Times! (which is owned by the moonies)
They couldn't believe their luck when Jacques Chirac gave them an exclusive, and ver interview in 1986... I think he made a similar mistake...

I am welcomed into the illiterate crowd then right?

You can be forgiven for confusing the Washington Times and Examiner. It is a sign of literacy that you are familiar with neither...
