Yes. When we leave the EU all our former Imperial colonies will be so in awe of our new found independence that they'll submit to our rule once more.

More realistically it means trade deals with Australia and New Zealand.

I do agree that all this half in, half out talk is daft, either do it realise we were wrong and ask to come back, or don't and just have another referendum as with all the crap that has gone on I fully expect a comfortable remain win

why does May and Cameron always have to start sentences with "I want to make this clear" or "My answer is clear". Surely, you don't need to emphasis this. We get it. You usually twist and pivot around answers so you have to specify when you can answer simple questions.

It's not stupid, some of the most successful countries in Europe are "half in", like Norway and Switzerland.

Who the fuck is she talking to?

The remainers didn't want a global britain.

The leavers want to throw up the drawbridge and get rid of everyone non-white.

Has anyone told May that the UK is already a global economy and does trade with the rest of the world? You would think that we don't if you went by the rhetoric of the last few months.

Branding brexit as a mission to make "a global Britain" is pretty impressive bending of reality.

It means her plan is she intends to be The First Order.

We will effectively be the Empire again. We have another superpowered Death Star and the status quo will be the same as it was!

Just no-one knows how we get there because currently we resemble the Empire at Return of the Jedi

We want to trade, but we won't provide any details. Much awesome, much diversity, EU not flexible but we are friends anyway.

This conference is a whole lot of itsfuckingnothing.gif

Serious question, what do we make that they want?

Poor quality cricketers that they can humiliate?

We do some trade with them, and when their current major trading partners are China and Trump's America, I suppose they might like a reliable trading partner in the firm of the UK.

What a load of bollocks.

Britain will need to import some lube before leaving, we are going to be shafted big time by every country out there.

Equal, equal.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Never forget the outrage when SC judges voted to uphold democracy. Viewed as undermining the current government LMAO

May criticises EU for ”bending towards uniformity"... meanwhile see the attitude towards Scotland within UK Union *cough-hypocrite-cough*. Keep seeing those in England on comments sections, and indeed politicians, telling Scots to basically shut up and accept the will of the greater union (i.e. the overwhelmingly unbalanced dominance of England's voters).

(EDIT: This is in the face of Scotland strongly voting Remain across the board and after our independence referendum being fought on the NO side by being told a No vote secured our place in the EU, lol)


Meh.

Scottish independence now please. C'mon folks.. how people in Scotland could accept decades of super right wing Tory rule is beyond me.
