European exasperation over the chaos in Brexit talks descended into profanity and name-calling, as Germany’s deputy foreign minister said the U.K. government consists mostly of clueless boarding-school graduates.
“Brexit is a big shitshow, I say that now very undiplomatically,” Michael Roth said at an event of his Social Democratic Party in Berlin on Saturday. He accused “90 percent” of the British cabinet of having “no idea how workers think, live, work and behave” and said it would not be those U.K. politicians “born with silver spoons in their mouths, who went to private schools and elite universities” that will suffer the consequences of the mess.
“I don’t know if William Shakespeare could have come up with such a tragedy but who will foot the bill?,” the German diplomat said. His comments come just days after hard-Brexit champion Jacob Rees-Mogg, who attended Eton College and studied at Oxford University, derided a fellow Conservative lawmaker for having graduated from Winchester College during a crunch debate over the country’s withdrawal from the EU.
Well, he's absolutely not wrong.
Its almost as if the correct path is to not Brexit...
With the game of Brexit and it’s perpetual delay, the only way to win is not the play.
This is ridiculous, lmao.
It shows what kind of person he is, a snob
Wow someone called it exactly what it is for the first time in public!

There's no denying this really is a shitshow, what the fuck have MPs been doing for the last 3 years?
They've had 3 years to prepare for this, unbelievable. It's like they pretended nothing has changed and then suddenly reality hit them a few weeks back.
They've procrastinated for three years because no one knows what they want or how they want to get it and suddenly the deadline is tomorrow and they bulk buy red bulls thinking they can stay up all night and figure it out and then its morning and the EU wants to know where the deal is but all they've got is a blank sheet of A4 with MUH DEAL written on it
To be fair, the government was supposed to be handling it and then bringing back a deal that MPs could approve. The government controls parliamentary business but they've had to literally have that power revoked from them in order to for MPs to be able to do anything other than just vote on May's deal over and over again until the heat death of the universe
