Theresa May's speech today

[vetran]

It’s what you do when 50% want out and 50% want in.

indeed seems reasonable to me, where we want to play on your territory then we will respect your authority.

[clearedforlanding]

we had to make it simpler because apparently the Remoaners & EU don't understand what we want.

I don't think you do.

[northernladyuk]

I don't think you do.

Traitor! They want to enjoy the ancient liberties of a Briton to decide how to dispose of their coffee grinds.

[vetran]

I don't think you do.

QED.

watch for the one big reason so Remoaners can understand

It is fairly simple we need a trade deal that is best for everyone involved not one that protects the "EU Project" to the detriment of everything else.

[motoukenin]

we had to make it simpler because apparently the Remoaners & EU & every other nation on earth & even a lot of leavers now don't understand what we want.

FTFY

Why does this Prime Minister try and present the situation as if the UK and the EU were economic equals? She's leading her nation into a power dynamic that will not in any way favour the UK. Most reasonable people would think that a folly of the highest order.

[darmstadt]

It was very much like the other 3 speeches she has made...

[northernladyuk]

Why does this Prime Minister try and present the situation as if the UK and the EU were economic equals?

She is being generous to the sclerotic EU, as she leads the Great British nation into the sunlit uplands of the jam powered Empire 2.0 economy.

[darmstadt]

I thought it was a good speech. All seemed reasonable to me. Brussels will therefore say no. They are the hardest Brexiteers of all. It will bite them in the arse.

Granted, a bad Brexit will hurt the UK more.
