Ouvertures Amusantes

Faceless bureaucrats of the Brusso-Strasbourgian dictatorship have reportedly intervened to prevent diplomats from EU member states meeting independently with representatives from Her Britannic Majesty's Recrudescent Imperium of Westminster, Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. Since the fiend Barnier has dismissed proposal after proposal as unworkable, on the specious and trivial grounds that the squealing prima donna David Davis and the whimpering thug Dominic Raab have confined themselves entirely to unworkable proposals, the minions of Tumbledown Tessie have tried to approach the member states separately. Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult to divide and rule the enemy when the energies of one's own government are largely consumed in trying to bite its own head off. Still, the Government has made every reasonable attempt to swallow its hatred, even going to the lengths of having its documents translated for the benefit of those Euro-wogs who cannot afford translators of their own, since foreigners are famous for being unable to understand English. The faceless bureaucrats made no objection to this, but it seems that private meetings are a step too far; possibly because the continual diplomatic sniggering has started to cause distraction.
