The Special Relationship was always a pile of crap.

Agreed

But the question is post-Brexit, which country will be the first port of call for the US in Europe?

The one that speaks the closest to American.

Most American can't find Europe on the map anyway.

Such utter bulltulip its not even funny

Perhaps someone should give you a history lesson about how the Special Relationship came to be...

It's not going to be the isolated island for sure.

Was this Nibiru guy an obsessive pessimistic doom-laden perma-bear? Sounds about right.

Most Niburu nutjobs are also paranoid Brexiteers.

Was this post supposed to be an attempt at humour or do you actually believe this ??

Only an Enemy of the People or Saboteur would ask such a question.

This all totally misses the point.

As PurpleGorilla has pointed out we now can build massive fleets of naval ships out of british steel.

Don't ever forget that this country painted the world red and transformed itself from marginal sideshow to global giant, creating the empire of all empires, by diverting something around 50% of GDP on running a navy that was so big, nothing could resist it.

With Jacob Rees-Mogg soon to be our leader, Brexit will be seen by history as the fuse that lit the New Golden Age.

Nice one.

My first thought too. I did not dare to ask.

It's either a sign of weakness masquerading as a sign of strength, or the DUP has twisted May's arm to piss off Ireland.

Ireland - UK's best mate.

Some of the most important pieces:





I imagine the Brexiters are celebrating the UK's decision to now pull out of the common fisheries policy. A policy which allowed British vessels to sail into EU waters too. Brexiters will argue for building bridges on a global scale whilst blowing them up here at home. Instead building walls with our closest neighbours. There's something very screwed up going on here. All brought to you by Tory infighting.

Some of the most important pieces:

Britain’s decision to leave will obviously diminish its influence in Europe. Even if it can negotiate favourable access to the single market it will no longer be part of the EU’s decision-making apparatus. Its weakness has already been exposed: David Davis, Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator, has so far done little but make concessions. So has its isolation. Theresa May is now routinely asked to leave meetings when EU business is discussed.

Brexiteers argued that a Leave vote would produce a “Brexit spring” as the ancien régime tottered and the euro plunged. Instead, the EU is in its best shape in years, with a young reformer installed in the Élysée Palace and the Franco-German axis solid. Across the continent the press talks of Britain as the “sick man of Europe”.

A very well balanced article. Completely ignoring any of the EU issues.

You're not allowed to discuss the North African hordes* or massive southern EU state unemployment.
