[Xando]

Love how she tried to call out merkel there

 

[SirRattleBalls]

"Britain is an open and tolerant country"

lol.

.

 

[kmag]

I love the immigration has put a downward pressure on wages argument. Outside of a marginal effect in a couple of sectors, all the research suggests that it hasn't.

But hey post truth.

 

[Betty]

I'm not sure, even if we are allowed to have another indy ref I'm convinced it will go the same way with people in the end afraid to leave the UK for stability reasons.

Give Brexit a few months/years, I'm sure we'll want out.

 

[sammex]

[Protome]

I'm not sure, even if we are allowed to have another indy ref I'm convinced it will go the same way with people in the end afraid to leave the UK for stability reasons.

There's no stability within the UK now though. Given Scotland's general Left-Centre leanings, leaving the EU to create a new tax haven won't go over well.

 

[nature boy]

BYE SINGLE MARKET

 

[Tak3n]

Holy Fuck

she just confirmed we will be leaving the single market

MegaTon! black and white, we are out

 

[Staab]

Welp...
So she says they're leaving the single market but want to keep on profiting through it, by negotiation?
Good luck with that, UK.

 

[GeordieMark]

"Britain is an open and tolerant country"

lol.

It isn't?

 

[Izuna]

Holy Fuck

she just confirmed we will be leaving the single market

uhhhhh

 

[Real Hero]

I hope the daily mail is consistent and calls her an enemy of the people for giving parliament a vote

 

[Sephiroth503]

So that rules out EEA as well then?

 

[Clydefrog]

i don't want to be in your club but.. can i be in your club?

 

[fanboi]

So that rules out EEA as well then?

Yes

 

[Tugatrix]

Free trade agreement it's the single market, do you think we are dumb

 

[sammex]

Ugh

 

[SirRattleBalls]

BYE SINGLE MARKET

 

[Xando]

How is a trade deal a better option to access in the single market than being in it?


Lol who wrote this speech

 

[mnz]

Yeah, this partial access to the single market is a no-go for the EU. They have said this since the beginning. Yet she is still here claiming it can be achieved.

Blatant lie.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Holy Fuck

she just confirmed we will be leaving the single market

MegaTon! black and white, we are out

It's okay she will get a free trade agreement for free because wine and cars.

 

[KarneeKarnay]

Oh ffs.

She thinks we can get access to the EU Market, without any of the restrictions. This is a fantasy.


She doesn't want membership, but she wants a trade agreement that gives the UK its cake and lets it eat. Even if it does get through Parliament, the EU will refuse it.

 

[SporeCrawler]

okay so what can UK sell? do they manufacture anything?

It isn't?

I found it funny that she assumes that talents around the world that are not british looking will want to come to UK now

 

[Protome]

It isn't?

We are leaving an almost entirely beneficial Union mainly because of immigration which also largely benefits our economy.

So, no. It isnt.

 

[Audioboxer]

She better be oan it. Then hopefully after independence Labour Scotland, and yes, Conservative Scotland actually become political forces up here people will actually give a shit about considering to vote for. My passion doesn't so much sit exclusively with the SNP, but independence. After that I'm more than happy to vote for another party if they sound better than the SNP.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

This fucking country...

 

[this guy are sick]

There it is then

 

[Uzzy]

I love the immigration has put a downward pressure on wages argument. Outside of a marginal effect in a couple of sectors, all the research suggests that it hasn't.

But hey post truth.

May once said that a criminal was given leave to remain in the UK because he had a cat. She's no stranger to lying about immigrants.

 

[SlickShoes]

There's no stability within the UK now though. Given Scotland's general Left-Centre leanings, leaving the EU to create a new tax haven won't go over well.

Yeah I know that, I still think they will use the same arguments on currency and better together, even diminished not enough of the old people that voted NO have died yet so we will get another no vote.

 

[norinrad]

Tartan army already on the next Megabus to London as we speak!

Queen to have Nicola Queen of Scots beheaded with her last breath for treason.

 

[Izuna]

I feel like I'm hearing the same bullshit again and again.

Like, isn't this exactly what Brexit peeps have been claiming since the beginning?

How can May sleep at night, lol

 

[Des0lar]

"We want to get out into the wider world."

Fuck you May.

 

[Knutsford]

So May wants all the benefits of the single market but with none of the drawbacks and financial cost... I think she is high

 

[oti]

What are you even going to trade? Toffee?

 

[Tugatrix]

oh the times of the imperial navy

 

[Protome]

Yeah I know that, I still think they will use the same arguments on currency and better together, even diminished not enough of the old people that voted NO have died yet so we will get another no vote.

The main issues last time were currency and EU membership. The Pound is nosediving and England os dragging us out of the EU.

 

[pashmilla]

For posterity:

 

[jelly]

Oh ffs.

She thinks we can get access to the EU Market, without any of the restrictions. This is a fantasy.


She doesn't want membership, but she wants a trade agreement that gives the UK its cake and lets it eat. Even if it does get through Parliament, the EU will refuse it.

This makes no sense. We are leaving but totally getting that deal. She is lying and deluded.

 

[Easy_D]

Oh ffs.

She thinks we can get access to the EU Market, without any of the restrictions. This is a fantasy.


She doesn't want membership, but she wants a trade agreement that gives the UK its cake and lets it eat. Even if it does get through Parliament, the EU will refuse it.

And I understand that the UK already had a buncha privileges as an EU member?
How the fuck do they expect to get a better deal, it's mindnumbingly stupid.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

unless Britain actually goes for it alone, nobody knows how it will work out

Go. Step in front of that train.

We don't know what happens until you do

 

[BlindCommunication]

Very ballsy speech, this is what people expected of May and she delivered. No access to single market is mandatory of course, the whole process of leaving the EU would be pointless otherwise. It's the perfect springboard to turn GB into a global trading power.

 

[Santiako]

She's making the same bullshit claims that were made during the brexit campaign.

 

[mnz]

What are you even going to trade? Toffee?

Low taxes. And mailbox addresses.

 

[Xater]

Name dropping Trump. lol

I also don't know what fantasy world she lives in in which the UK will get free trade without being a member.

 

[norinrad]

Australia, New Zealand, India and Trump. lol

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

"Global Britain, but none of those immigrants from the world please"

 

[KarneeKarnay]

WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A BETTER TRADE NATION.

ONE WITH FREE TRADE IN EUROPE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THE EUROPEANS TO PAY IT!

 

[Real Hero]

' we can do something'

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Trump. Fucking Trump.

 

[Hazzuh]

Could imagine Nigel Farage delivering this speech word for word.
