Thick board #5: Brexite

This week I talk to Terry Reintke about the brexite and she tells us what to expect now, because even if the points are set now, it is still far from clear where the train will arrive. A lot of questions are still open.
I'll also tell you briefly what I'm currently working on and I'd be happy if you send me feedback and suggestions for the podcast.

If you look at where the poorest regions in Northern Europe are, nine out of ten are in England and Wales.

It is not important to Boris Johnson whether his plans are realistic, he simply wants to show that he is a tough guy who makes clear announcements.

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For Auld Lang Syne.

This friendship is and will be stronger than lies, hatred and division.

We will be back together. Not tomorrow. But some beautiful day.#leavealighton

My great Scottish colleague @AlynSmith said in his speech on #Brexite:

"I'm not asking you to solve our domestic discussions, I am asking you to leave a light on, so we can find our way home."

So we did.

I also wrote a letter to Horst Seehofer this week because he claims to know nothing about systematic violence or illegal deportations at the EU's external border in Croatia, although such cases have been documented many times over.
