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

Schulz is hardly alone; even Merkel who was painted by the British media as keen to leave enough time to the UK to prepare their position is putting some limits: no informal talks until Cameron or BoJo triggers article 50 first.

EU Leaders Vow New Priorities After `Brexit' Vote - WSJ

"Until this has happened, no further steps can be taken," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a joint press conference in Berlin with Italian Premier Matteo Renzi and French President François Hollande ahead of a dinner at the chancellery.

Then again, there is now open war between Merkel and the SPD about pushing for a quick Brexit.

*Lunatic*, n.

Perhaps they react this way not only because they're childish but because they fear this Brexit may end up turning out to be another gambit to change the EU.
Seeing Jungker drunkenly bitch-slapping the other EU leaders as welcome makes me wonder if the EU is on its last legs. Legless!
Draghi's doing his best to save the Italian banking system, which is emitting a sonorous death-rattle.
What a crew... Renzi, Merkel, Tusc, Jungker, Disselbloem, Hollande.
How did Europe end up like this?
The game could be up for these Eurocrats and their cosy little cabal of undemocratic cronies.
They are equally despicable, and fully deserve their cult of Mammon-uber-alles to fail.
Europe's like a senile dowager with dementia, tipsy with privilege, a rotten tree ready to crumble.
One more push from another disenchanted state... these constipated clowns do not a circus make.

Yeah, Britain is trolling at the highest level yet, can you say 'Sand in the gears?'
Out. Of. Control. Boris. Couldn't resist the brass ring.
