Bass @styrrellou.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026Having Britain as an applicant would be, schadenfreude aside, a very clear message to political movements that might have been tempted towards leaving the EU and so would be a definite benefit to the EU. Fast tracking accession after that much less so. 000

Bass @styrrellou.eurosky.social · 18/09/2026It’s true that this is quite a common practice but more often for a premium service such as the Heathrow Express (15 minutes and a small fortune to get to part of London you don’t want to go to).
