The irony, I swear

Edit: To add, we’ve had a similar situation with the romanian diaspora in europe voting mostly for the anti-eu candidate during the presidentials. The mind boggles.

I feel like this man has some mighty nasty skeletons in his closet if he was openly advocating for “rules for thee but not for me”

Ah yes. I remember daimler boldly claiming in 2009 or so that by 2015 all their lineup would be electric. To see them instead become whiny subsidy bitches is just sad.

Not sure what this is meant to accomplish, as I doubt its actual mission is “a show of support”. In fact, there is a risk the visit might inflame anti-EU sentiment, much like the public talk between Macron and Romania’s Dan inflamed all the russian trolls before presidentials. On the other hand you shouldn’t avoid doing something in good faith just because the russian trolls might complain, as they’d just find something else to shout about.

Old rupert is probably buying himself an island for his safety bunker/palace.
