Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

There's a very funny article in the FT imagining the infamous meal. Here's an excerpt:
Quote:
@MartinSelmayr: May says EU trying to influence UK election. PARANOIA. It’s the French and German elections we are trying to influence.
@NickJTimothy: Juncker pulls out 1,000-page Serbia accession treaty to show complexity of the negotiations. May pulls out Magna Carta.
@MartinSelmayr: Juncker brandishes 4,000-page trade treaty with Canada. May produces Treaty of Versailles. Juncker pulls out first Gutenberg Bible.
@NickJTimothy Getting hard to eat with all these documents on table. Can barely see Selmayr over the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. Hope he’s not tweeting.
Google "Brexit dinner: live leaking the second serving" to read full article.
