and how have the EU "shot themselves in the foot" ?
Britain triggered article 50. If there was a dad whose son shit his pants you wouldn't tell him he'd shot himself in the foot, even if he was likely to get shit on him in trying to clean up the mess. It's not the dad's fault. It's going to be shitty all around because the son, little Brexit, is a dribbling gullible idiot who was told it would be a clever idea to shit his pants so he wouldn't have to go to school

What an extraordinarily apposite metaphor.
Doesn't really answer my question about how the EU will plug the funding gap though.

no, I agree with you on this one. The EU will be a little worse off with the UK leaving
there really are no winners, just different scales of losers. It's going to be a huge pain in the arse for all involved, so integrated are the economies. I just didn't think the EU were to blame. If anything, they went out of their way before the vote give special concessions to the UK that they didn't offer to other members.
