Antony Blinken, Joe Biden's reported pick for Secretary of State, last year said Brexit was a "total mess" and likened it to "the dog that caught the car and the car goes into reverse and runs over the dog."
President-elect Biden is also firmly opposed Brexit, and in October warned Boris Johnson not to let Brexit undermine the Good Friday Agreement on the island of Ireland.Joe Biden's pick for Secretary of State Antony Blinken last year described Brexit as a "total mess" and said that the process resembled a dog being run over by a car, in comments that further underline the stark policy differences between the incoming White House administration and the UK government.
Totally correct!
Steve_Hooker No,no,no...all these international experts have no clue, Brexit will be a superduperubersuccess! Only our corrupt Tory filth, between shoving money to their friends in the billions, got it right and is trustworthy!!!!111!!!!
Bliken says 'its US interests for the UK to stay in the EU'....who cares whether its not in the US interest its not in our interest and we aren't another US state.
Steve_Hooker Utterly Correct... Brexit will be shambolic however it will be masked by huge Covid Spikes because Boris is giving England a free resign over the festive period to share the virus 🙈
Biden’s digging up all the old deep staters and he hasn’t even won the election.
He's damned right - it's a total fucking embarrassment. I wouldn't mind so much only I have 4 children growing up in this country, with no distant EU relatives, therefore no possibility of an EU passport.
Brexit is not his issue nor our concern. The Brits voted.
Worst pick ever
.
Luckily the UK will be completely out of the EU by the time that Joe is inaugurated, so it really doesn’t matter what he thinks. The USA only wants the U.K. inside to slow down the federalist program within the EU.
BorisJohnson 😆
He’s not wrong 😑
He’s entitled to his opinion, just as I can have one on the US election. But I didn’t get to vote in that and he doesn’t get to decide our national direction.
Bit like joe biden speaking
Keep your comments to your own self - look at the mess the usa is in don’t cross the pond and dip your toes in ours
Not Biden’s pick. The committee of Rome’s pick. In the employ of the Rothschilds et al
Look at your own elections & leave out of our British politics yes we have issues but at least we didn’t fudge an election and get all the media pushing the narrative Biden is president elect. Routing for trump from London he is all the world has right now to stop the great reset
annadevine66 RuthDavidsonMSP Douglas4Moray mgoldenmsp murdo_fraser and the rest of the far right Tory clowns intent to force the overwhelmingly rejected Brexit on Scotland deny Scottish businesses to trade with EU, our kids to study n work in EU, remove FoM for people of Scotland.
I can’t get past the surname. Your news now means nothing to me. This is how we deal with politics now, right?
Nothing to do with him. Look at your own Country Yankee Doodle Dandy!
True. Brexit will kill the UK.
A bit like the USA election process
Stop Brexit, dogs are getting injured....(and millions of people will be hurt come January)
Not exactly what he said. But who’d trust some journalists?
Tony can F off and mind his own business 👍🏻
I'm sure the EU will recover in time ... a limp maybe, not wagging it's tail so much or barking so loud ...but it'll get by.
Tony can fuck off then !!
He’s right
He would they’re globalists they want a one nation state for the world, Brexit does not fit in with that
None of his globalist fascist businesses.
Not sure what the point of this. He was not an elected government official then and now he is, he is not a U.K. government official. They can have their views but in the end have no say in Brexit. Only remoaner fools think USA will not trade with U.K. because of Eu or GFA 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, well it’s our dog and our car, so mind your business. America won’t put up with other countries dictating their domestic business, so why should we?
He’ll soon discover he’s aimed too low with the imagery.
He can Blinkinwell Fxxk off
PaulEmbery has jut written a book about this nonsense. Just look at the condescending middle class replies to this. Oh, and what on earth has it got to do with American politicians?
Muralista Possibly an astute man, though anyone with a remotely functioning brain knows Brexit is a catastrophe
Do you even know half the EU members names, didn’t think so.
So? He is a Yank. Can't buy common sense can you?
Clearly a man after Trump. He too doesn't understand how democracy works.
And yet it’s the will of the people
Was the car a Volvo?
Oh dear sounds like an idiot, should remember that the EU is no friend of the US and if he carries on like this then we will remember that the'special relationship' only works one way.
Very similar to the fraudulent election then...
Do you mean they had to Prorogue Parliament...
It can’t be worse than the state of the US!
So here we have it Biden co are the remoaners friends. Tough if he doesn’t like Brexite but what’s it got to do with them. They like the Eu seem to have short memories.
Please tell him to shut his gob
He’s risen in my estimation already. He’s spot on.
Telling it like it is.
Well he can mouth off when the US submits to the jurisdiction of the ECJ, follows the rules set by the EU, opens its waters to the EU, & pays billions pa to the EU. In short, he can STFU.
Is Britain the dog or the car?
About sums it up! 👍
The sound of another Brexit turkey coming home to roost. all ye Brexiteers look upon this and weep...
Yes it feels a bit like that
What a cabbage 🥬 🥬
Aha, we have a new Expert who knows all about Brexit, or he's an opportunistic politician, making the political gesture he thinks will best get him the smiles of his supporters - I suspect the latter.
Give USA 6 months of a Biden presidency if you really want to see a car wreck.
Some reality at last. So refreshing.....😌
Interesting analogy of Brexit. Dogs dinner also fitting.
😂👍😂 Too right. A deluded enterprise intoxicating people with no idea of the dire consequences for their food cupboard, UK standing in the world, the future of UK manufacture and also the western alliance. Full House for Putin, POTUS and Xi Jinping I'm afraid.
Obama’s failed Syria policy created ISIS territories and the refugee and then migrant crisis. Brexit happened in that context and probably wouldn’t have occurred without it. So they can drop the sneering.
That’s a bit rich. Considering it’s none of his business.
😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
Arseholes
Who gives a shit what ABlinken thinks? I'm British and I don't.
Nice. Imperial Americans can't resist putting their dirty nose in every single matter on world scale whether it matters them or not.
Project Reality! I hope you are paying attention BorisJohnson DavidGHFrost Nigel_Farage
We all said this
Says a man who’s party are complicit in mass voter fraud to falsely win an election. When are the US going to start taking orders from Canada about how & where they fish & what they have to produce on their farms... BidenBullshit
Bit like the American voting system then

Might be a good idea to cancel the special relationship, sick to death of so called friends thinking they can s*** on us, its the same with the eu the dya we realise these people are NOT our friends the better off we will be.
Who gives a
More Fake News.
Ha - doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Shite idea in the first place but when being managed by the ‘albino jelly cloud’ then it was always going to be a much bigger car crash On the plus side, the NHS will be getting £350m per week... lies useless wasteoftime
People in glass houses 🤔🇬🇧💪
You kinda have to agree
Because he would agree the same deal for the US in order to be part of a trading block?
No one cares what you think.
There's two types of talk when you are in politics. The type of talk you talk when you are not in power, and the type of talk you talk when you are. It's like all that guff about Boris being way down the list of leaders Biden would call. He was the first European that was called.
we're still missing winken and nod...BidenCheated
True, but why was that? By the minority denying the result of the largest democratic vote in UK history. That has a familiar, & more recent, ring that may resonate with Biden’s team 🤔which should ease his understanding
I know, open the border with Mexico and have 65% of your laws made in Ottawa. Put that before the US electorate.
Well we will follow your lead, let Mexico dictate laws etc then send them billions each month, then we can do the same with the EU. Anyway best you sort out your election first.
see what he does - with reduced majority in the house and the minority in senate and SC
Why do we care why the American incoming administration says about Brexit? It was about becoming an independent, sovereign nation once again. Not leaving the EU oppression to become beholden to the US. Trade will always take place. P.S fuck JoeBiden & his globalist cronies
Blinken Pratt
And who gives a Fuck what Biden or his administration say
Why does the Democratic Party & the Establishment continue to say 'it's in the US interest that the UK stay in the EU'? How exactly? Our interests are in nations to surrender sovereignty to undemocratic trade blocs? Standing with the UK's decision is the only legitimate position.
He looks like one that has been run over given his miserable expression.
LouiseMensch Mexico telling the USA to dictate freedom of movement into Texas and Arizona.
The elite really hate when the working class stand up and democratically vote against them
Clearly when ABlinken spouts about being in US interests for the U.K. to be trapped in the EU, he means it. But neither he nor JoeBiden would accept Mexico or Canada creating laws binding the US, or a foreign Supreme Court with non US citizens sitting as judges, neither did we!
Yet lockdowns are beyond a total mess.
AdamBienkov Cute😉
I’d be more concerned of being part of an administration that effectively will have limited scope in successfully bringing new laws without a majority in the senate
Creepy Joe should just stick to his preferred area of expertise.
He's not far off mikebutcher lol
I guess he'd know so much about it
Looking forward to the US having an agreement which gives free movement to people from Canada and Mexico and a Supreme Court in Mexico City which can overrule the US SC.
Ha ha
That’s rich. Coming from someone in a country that’s in the mess the USA is in at the moment. Look at the first word in the country’s name. UNITED. Wow. Should be DSA. divided.
Blinken needs to keep his opinion to himself, sort out corruption within the Democrat Party. Ever since Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt’s patronising Bolshevik Communism they have tried to destroy Tradition, Patriotism, Christianity, Marriage and Family, everything America values
I would say, it’s just as well it’s up to the British people then... but that also looks like only a dream.
I await Biden administration signing trade deal with Canada and Mexico that allows free movement across borders; the USA becoming a net financial contributor to the arrangement and the US Supreme Court having its decisions subject to ratification (or not) by a more Supreme Court.
When Canada is making the laws in the US, robbing their fish & charging them £350 million a yr for the privilege of a trade deal, then & only then is Biden fit to lecture us Brit’s.
Can’t wait for US to have their fisheries controlled when they make a new trade deal with EU.. oh and also EU to have supreme law over them..
AdamBienkov Who would conclude a trade agreement with a dead dog?
AdamBienkov Blinken is a staunch advocate for US hegemony...
