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.

by not making a good deal with their closest partner the EU?

ahahahahahah

 

[Zaph]

lol "wider world"

She's just talking to her base, who she obviously thinks are idiots. There's a reason your closest neighbours are your most important trade partners. There's a practicality there.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

This is a 30 minute speech saying how good it is we're about to shoot ourselves in the head.

By getting inferior access to the largest Market on Earth?

with what?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

But trump did not say we were at the front of the queue. His answer to question was "you're doing great"

 

[neorej]

"Britain is an open and tolerant country"

lol.

"Unless you're muslim, brown, or from the mainland, then you can fuck right off."

 

[Des0lar]

Best place for science and innovation


But this time without any EU funding

 

[StayDead]

This woman is out of her fucking mind. How is she able to run the country. Why was this even a thing that happened.

She's talking completely bull and she's basically fucked us all.

 

[Morat]

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

Yup. Doubling down appears to be the order of the day.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

I welcome Canada.

she has no conviction behind her voice. and yet...

 

[Xando]

Lol

Be the world's biggest advocate for free trade by leaving the world's biggest free trading area. Makes sense.

[zonetrooper5]

why so? they have tech business and oil reserves enough to make them like a norway..

Oil reserves/prices are falling and the SNP is increasing the deficit so if it was to gain independence then it would be even poorer.

"It's not the means that matter it's the ends"

What a load of rubbish this speech is.

A plan is the means. What May has given us is her goals.

Trading with what exactly?

 

[Easy_D]

I welcome Canada.

Yea totes, Canada for honorary EU member

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

What makes her think she can get a nice trade deal with Trump? He wants to put 25% tariffs on German cars FFS

 

[EmiPrime]

Trading with what exactly?

Glutinous chocolate cake.

 

[kmag]

Wants a partial, extra special deal for the Customs Union. aka we made Nissan a promise we can't afford help us out EU.

Grenoble will capture all the talents from now on

 

[nature boy]

Man opposition in the UK must be really shitty for her to do this.

FFS UK

 

[fanboi]

I do believe uk would get a good deal just because uk government is like trump

 

[DrunkShogun]

Let the pound hit the floor.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

how's the £ doing?

Man opposition in the UK must be really shitty for her to do this.

It is.

 

[Funky Papa]

What makes her think she can get a nice trade deal with Trump? He wants to put 25% tariffs on German cars FFS

Hedging your bets on Trump and the colonies is the ultimate display of desperation.

 

[Breakage]

Man, she is waffling

 

[KarneeKarnay]

What is she on about with scientists and research?

We've lost since the brexit some of out biggest companies to outside nations. Bit too ffing late.

Didn't some one say, it takes minutes to destroy a country, but decades to build one back up? (something along those lines).

 

[suedester]

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.

What are you talking about? The EU has negotiated plenty of free trade deals with non members.

 

[oti]

Let the pound hit the floor.

Switch games for 40€ would be neat.

Yup. Corbyn is a joke. Still boggles the mind that he hasn't been replaced by someone competent yet.

Some interview with micheal gove full of non answers and misinformation (take in all the refugees).

Yup. Corbyn is a joke. Still boggles the mind that he hasn't been replaced by someone competent yet.

They tried and they had Owen Smith.

Members love Corbin but the electorate and the parties MPs don't.

 

[deli2000]

It isn't?

The person who said that proposed less than a year ago a policy that would mean my immigrant doctor parents would be deported by 2020. Tolerant my fucking ass.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-37167975

but the prices won't stay low for very long, the OPEP will eventually increase the prices more, they imposed recently restrictions to production

 

[Zaph]

Man opposition in the UK must be really shitty for her to do this.

FFS UK

Non-existent.

Large part of the voting public is single-minded on an exaggerated immigration 'treat'

 

[danowat]

how's the £ doing?

It went up for a bit, now it's on the way down again.

Nope, on the way up again.

I think the word is, unstable.

 

[autumnleaf]

And of course Labour have no clue what they want so there is no opposition to this insanity. The only thing May cares about is pleasing the bloody Daily Mail.

 

[Fliesen]

is hell really that much better than 'permanent political purgatory'?

 

[RaGe_pt]

So UK wants to trade with EU but doesn't want to contribute? Wants to be a global nation but doesn't want those immigrants?

 

[Izuna]

Is CANZUK realistic?

Because I'd fuck off to Canada

 

[Coxy100]

Man opposition in the UK must be really shitty for her to do this.

FFS UK

Yup.

 

[this guy are sick]

Here's an advanced look into British negotiations with its new friends in thee future:

-We would like to set out a new trade deal with (COUNTRY)
+Okay, first let's talk about relaxing those visa requirements
-Uhhhhhhh

 

[ittoryu]

But she also wants Britain to have tariff-free access to EU markets.

She says she wants a customs agreement with the EU. That could mean partial membership of the customs union. How this happens in practice can be decided, she says.

I am sure this is exactly how the EU will see the issue.

She is talking like she is in a position of power: this is insane.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

So, uh, does the electorate not care that you need visas to live and work in the EU without a free movement agreement? So no retiring in Spain anymore, old people.

 

[Xando]

Let the pound hit the floor.

Interesting enough pound is actually up 1.5%

 

[Funky Papa]

Wants a partial, extra special deal for the Customs Union. aka we made Nissan a promise we can't afford help us out EU.

I really, really want to know what is going to happen to the British automotive industry once the button is pushed.

I guess it's nice to want things?

Lot of this is Labor being in chaos for almost a year now. They are the opposition and they refuse to pick a side.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

No you see white people going to other countries is totally different

 

[sammex]

I'm going to celebrate by buying 2/3s of a Freddo.
