Re: The PMs Speech
Very happy with Teresa May's speech.
I said in other threads in which Flicker was berating us and spreading doom and gloom, that she was stuck in a binary thought process. That the options were not simply A or B.
I said specifically that BrExit would lead to a "New Way" which would emerge from the ashes of our EU membership divorce.
Today Ms May said:
"And that is why we seek a new and equal partnership – between an independent, self-governing, Global Britain and our friends and allies in the EU.
Not partial membership of the European Union, associate membership of the European Union, or anything that leaves us half-in, half-out. We do not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by other countries. We do not seek to hold on to bits of membership as we leave"
We couldn't ask for more imo.
We ARE going our own way, the EU WILL have to play ball and negotiate reasonable trade deals and I hear also that Mr Trump is overturning Obama's previous pathetic rhetoric when he said Britain would go to the back of the queue.
For a country that has for years stated that the US has a "special relationship" with the UK, Obama's "back of the queue" sound bites were frankly pathetic and a betrayal of years of international alliance.
Well done Trump for putting that straight.
All is going to be just fine and when other EU members see how successful and prosperous the UK will be from divorcing the corrupt EU Federation, they will themselves begin their own Exits.
