| EU SHOCK: Rebels Italy in threat to DESTROY Brussels unity with plan for OWN Brexit talks |
| 2019-02-11 |
| [Express] ITALY is seeking "closest possible ties" with the UK and is ready to break up the unity of the European Union by striking a bilateral deal with London to protect its citizens by securing trade deals in Britain. The appeal launched by Brussels not to undermine its negotiating position on Brexit by seeking bilateral agreements between EU member states and the UK is being ignored by rebels Italy. As Brexit day approaches, the eurosceptic Lega-Five Star Movement coalition is growing increasingly worried about the consequences a no deal scenario could have on Italy’s fragile economy. This pushed the populist government sitting in Rome to draw up emergency plans to safeguard financial stability and save trade with London from disruption in case of a no-deal Brexit. |

| #4 The Rubes are starting to wake up to the fact that the EU is (1) An unelected aristocracy in the form of its faceless bureaucracy, and (2) the Troika of FR-BEL-GER are the Masters of Europeâ„¢ and they are the Serfs in this happy little party... Without an EU (Imperial Stormtroopersâ„¢?) Army they only have the police and lawyers to maintain control. |

| #2 I'd call it a force 10 preference cascade, but yeah, a storm is coming. Trump and Brexit were just the early warning signs. |
