Careful now! Undeserved #BritishExceptionalism is still a thing. The UK's forlorn search for the fictional 'better deal' will be the death of the country. The UK must finally declare where its realistic place is in this world. Realistic expectations only. #BrexitHasFailed

Knowing what we know now, if only UK undergraduates had, in large numbers, easily switched onto the university systems of neighbouring countries. If only their schools and colleges had made them more aware that a UK degree was not necessarily the gold-standard.

If only... #BritishExceptionalism

Yep. UK #NationalFailure is what happens when you get enough #UsefulIdiots to the ballot box fuelled by #BritishExceptionalism & rampant misinformation #LeaveLies. Impose real penalties on lying Media, politicians & opaque think-tanks

#RussianInterference #AsymmetricWarfare #ManipulationALaRusse

Understand also that the UK's ceaseless hunt for ill-deserved 'better deals' is what led to its current sorry state. This nonsense & the 19th century #BritishExceptionalism fuelling it must die! Commit fully to building Europe or remain outside trapped in your psychodrama.

Typical #BritishExceptionalism attitude - thinking that everywhere they step on is suddenly their domain. NEWSFLASH, #BrexitFascists: you're all getting flagged-up on #SISII & other EU-wide watch-lists, as well as #EES when rolled-out.

Good luck with that next trip to Magaluf. #WelcomeToTheBrexit

In his non-native language, too. This should never be underestimated. That Pole can pivot to any part of the EU Single Market that their skills & common #EUCitizenship can take them. #BritishExceptionalism on education & language fronts has poorly served Britons.

Or the anti-corruption crusade the UK tried to run through the OECD?

When the OECD turned its attention to UK suppliers of military equipment, the UK suddenly went very cold on the idea: "It wasn't meant to be about us!"

#BritishExceptionalism

Christus, she actually believed the claims of the #Brexidiots. This ill-deserved sense of #BritishExceptionalism aka #ExtrawurstGroßbritannien pervades UK society. Irrespective of how she voted, that weaponised attitude's already damaged us.

How come we seem to be the only European country *not* to have a bottle and can deposit scheme up and running? Call it a litter prevention measure if we must…
#Recycling #BritishExceptionalism

During the run-up to the Brexit referendum, some Brexiter-politicians seriously thought that we would be OK after leaving the EU because we speak English - as if the rest of the world still needs us to teach them to speak English properly. #BritishExceptionalism

Your Quitter Bollox isn't supported by the evidence! Spoilt Bästard UK had extracted every last opt-out, exemption & veto from an EU which hindsight shows shouldn't have indulged it so much. Epic levels of #BritishExceptionalism! The only valid question is what the Hell more UK reasonably expected?

Meanwhile in other news
I'm pissing myself laughing lol 😆
As #BestforBritain block's #European citizens like me with an opinions, that don't subscribe to their brand of #BritishExceptionalism

Humble grumble on intention of Brexit (if there was one). #BritishExceptionalism was weaponised to make voters believe not only that there was a better-than-EU-Membership EU-UK deal to be had, but that they deserved it simply for being British! So 'Britons First'. Where have we heard similar lately?

Britons - have we learned NOTHING? #BritishExceptionalism aka #ExtrawurstGroßbritannien corrodes the British body-politic and has already been successfully used against you whilst you cheered becoming poorer and less free. It serves no useful purpose and must end.

Why, Sir, you seem curiously unaware that the entire world revolves like a Maypole around Britain at the Greenwich (Prime)

Hope you're still in touch with him to update your response with this video. As for the 'pet' reference - the EU is a voluntary membership of Sovereign States. There's no leash - but the #BritishExceptionalism mindset holds UK back & must end. #NationalFailure #ThankEurope

A valid point about #FloatingBusStops - these are international best practice and if there was a decent alternative, someone else would have developed in the last 50 years. As no-one has…

The argument against them is a combination of bad faith opposition to #ActiveTravel, and #BritishExceptionalism

Petition: Hold a referendum on re-joining the European Union I want the government to hold a referendum on whether the UK should Rejoin the European Union.

#RejoinEU - that means restoration of #EUCitizenship to all UK Citizens, adherence to full EU Acquis, meeting full budgetary responsibility & working constructively for the greater good of the Membership. No more half-in-half-out #BritishExceptionalism

Sign!

This reads so much like the UK. The EU was a prop in UK political theatre. The lies of ambitious journalists; the thumped Brussels table; the 'handbagged' Bureaucrat; domestic failure blamed on 'regulations; the reeking #BritishExceptionalism of opt-outs.

It must do better for #RejoinEU to succeed

Still, it's a debate that I would tune-in to if held. The movement must move on to considering what the British must do to ensure not only that the UK joins the EU but that its population lives the values. At national level, #BritishExceptionalism must be shed. Ask not what Europe can do for you...

Perhaps we should clarify: #ThereIsNoGoodBrexit - only degrees of mitigation. Any EU proposals to third-countries are to THE ADVANTAGE
OF THE EU & its M.S. It's not 'giving' UK anything. Peak #BritishExceptionalism is imagining a UK youth accessing 27 more nations & their EU counterpart just 1 more

Our governments certainly are #BritishExceptionalism 🤦🏼‍♀️

The British and their exceptionalism Few countries have allowed their sense of exceptionalism to damage their interests in the way Britain is doing. British overconfidence is unjustified and will come at a heavy price.

Time to dig this 2017 @centreeuropeanref.bsky.social article out. #BritishExceptionalism
