Is this an English thing to hope things but not bother what's actually happening?

Running for cover now....(sorry, couldn't resist) | | | | | Who? The Swiss? The Germans learnt not to bark at the Swiss and use orther tactics as barking somehow makes the Swiss more aggressive and more stubborn and terribly annoying. 
The Brits? They're actually quite good at barking too it seems, so again the Germans most likely won't really reach success by barking. | Quote: | | | | You know most people on this forum aren't English, right? | | | | | Yes, I do know.

Is there an English summary somewhere?

DB is just disillusioned with all groups of nations. Period.
Curley...I think she might be a bit bored and pissed of with the lot of them.
Odile's getting bashed as per usual, but still has the tenacity / stupidity / stubborness to come back for more.
Me... I'm just reading all this bollox, and the media bollox and wondering why everything appears to revolve around Wednesdays? After the build up the damp squib that was last Wednesday's non event on Brexit, apparently, May's been given 72hrs to save her job and is being nagged to attend the meeting of the 1922 Committee on...you guessed it...Wednesday! So Tessie May's got PMQs, tea with Madge, and a bunch of whinging tory back benchers to pacify all in one afternoon. I really want her to turn around and tell them all to f off, she's going for a massage, hair and nails afternoon, followed by a back, sac and crack waxing session. I mean...I don't like the woman, but she's got bigger balls than most of the critical dripshits in her party, so they might as well be silky smooth.
As you were...  | | The following 5 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Spot on -bravo
More people marched in London for a #peoplesvote than there are in the populations of the EU countries of Luxembourg and Malta. And almost as many as in Cyprus.
That is a country size out marching - wish I could have been there.

Perhaps take a look at your home country if you think it's smart to go on a collision course as the less powerful party.

LOL, sorry, not personal. | | | | | This is why I have EF.
I don't live in CH anymore and it's not very prominently covered in the international press.
Sorry if there is a vote on freedom of movement coming up that did not pop up in my news streams.

Yup. The first place I go when I want to learn is EF. Not the library. Not a university. EF.
