Malcolm Rifkind sums it up...
"Senior British Conservative politicians, in recent months, have likened the EU to the Soviet Union and more recently Nazi Germany so I think Donald Tusk is fairly restrained.
His views of how Brexiteers have been behaving, I was thinking about this, it's kinda like when you are on a train and there is a child who is screaming and there is a parent there who doesn't really care and is going 'look, this is everybody's problem.'
That kinda seems to be the Brexiteer approach to bringing about Brexit is to decide that it is for everyone to deal with, everyone in the EU. We've all got to come together and solve this problem.
They are quite justified to say 'no, this is Britain's problem. This is a thing that Britain has inflicted on the block. It's a problem for Britain to solve.'
The Brexiteer approach from the outset has been to call for this thing, to campaign for this thing and then expect for all the problems that it raises to be identified and solved by other people.
Then when you have a government that tries to solve them they go 'well, not like that' but still never acknowledging ownership of the fact the problem exists, never accepting responsibility for the problem that exists.
I'm not surprised that Donald Tusk is astonished at there behaviour because so am I."
