[Roberto Larcos]

It would not be the act of a friend.

EU, pls.

Ah, now the tax haven threats.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

oh fuck this, the hell is she on??

 

[Xando]

Threatining the largest free market in the world sure seems like a good idea

 

[Clydefrog]

i swear *someone* hires professional coughers

 

[oti]

"calamitous self-harm for the EU"

This is too much.

 

[Frankfurter]

*Punches the EU directly into the face*

...

But we are friends, you know?

 

[kmag]

I would assume not or that they likely wont just be able to pop on a plane or train to Belgium or France for the weekend.


Yeah, I get this. Thing is, they live in the shite areas, they have the shite jobs and its easy to say its somebody else's fault if you're clamoring for their votes. I've also seen the sentiment echoed that why does someone on minimum wage care if the 'elites' are fucked over by this.

I mean, it's a gross misunderstanding of the way the world works but shit they don't know any better, they've been failed. We let them be failed and mucked about because it didn't impact us but now it is and we're beholden to seeing the benefits of proper electoral communication, proper education and actually caring and being sympathetic to the views of poor(er) people in society before it gets this bad again.

The biggest laugh is that there is a correlation between the strongest leave voting areas and the lowest levels of immigration.

 

[Funky Papa]

The manufacturers will take advantage of the crappy pound, double down on design in the UK and make the cars in Slovakia?

You know, manufacturing could work out if the pound and labour costs plummet to the point of allowing manufacturers to work around tariffs.

UK to be the new Eastern Europe?

 

[mnz]

so in other words BMW may just decide to make Minis for UK only and not export them anywhere else

No, at worst they will bring production into the EU.

In total, 80 percent of Mini automobiles are exported.

 

[Santiako]

Jesus Christ, you are not in a position of making threats, you old hag.

 

[Easy_D]

Power

One and the same, my friend

 

[Breakage]

Shes threatening the EU lol.

 

[Gamervana84]

and how many of those (volume) manufacturers are actually British owned?

It's a good thing that most of the high volume of manufactures are foreign owned, so they can put pressure on the EU for better trade.

 

[Izuna]

"PLEASE EU DON'T FUCK US, YOU HAVE HEARTS DON'T YOU?"

 

[Tak3n]

what? no deal is better ??

She is marking her territory, hurt Britain in trade, and Britain will hurt you back

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Lol, threatening the EU.

 

[GCX]

Ah, the spirit of good will.

 

[nature boy]

Oh May going a bit too far o the EU's interests.

 

[Funky Papa]

First farce, then tragedy.

 

[pashmilla]

Rupert Murdoch

I'm not normally one to wish death on people but I can't wait for that fucker to croak.

 

[KarneeKarnay]

All this money and trade sounds great. I mean if you live in The City or any city it looks great.

Problem is the most that voted out, are the people not living in the cities. They aren't going to see a pound come their way and things are just going to get worse for them.

 

[deli2000]

Does Theresa May think she's in a gangster movie?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

 

[Roberto Larcos]

You know, manufacturing could work out if the pound and labour costs plummet to the point of allowing manufacturers to work around tariffs.

UK to be the new Eastern Europe?

No, the UK is a strong economy brought to its knees by horrible government and a currency out of control.

See: Argentina.

 

[Izuna]

One and the same, my friend

Frank Underwood would disagree.

 

[Audioboxer]

@AngrySalmond on point as usual

https://twitter.com/AngrySalmond/status/821332999870574593

The account is being given a break from shitting on Trump to shitting on May!

I've broken up with women over the phone in a more diplomatic and sensitive manner than this. #TheresaMayhem #brexit #brexitspeech

The KazHiraiCEO account of Scottish Politics.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Unity talk now, lol

HALF OF US DON'T WANT THIS

 

[hidys]

Oh fuck right off you menopausal harpy,

What a complete and utter shit-show

She may be an evil Tory but that is not cool.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

"support of 65 million people"

FUCK YOU THERESA!

 

[Juicy Bob]

"The country is coming together?"

u fucking wot m8

 

[Zaph]

Fuck you May, we ain't coming together.

Her argument is that causing pain to us, is causing pain to the EU as well, so the time has come to man up and accept that free trade works for all...

You're literally just buying May's toddler-level rationalising.

"manning up and accepting that" would also mean destabilising the EU by everyone wanting to renegotiate their deal.

 

[nature boy]

Folks, country is coming together.

lol

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Is she fucking serious ?

EU members who don't offer good deals to UK are doing calamitous self harm and not acting as friends ?

What the hell is she smoking, this can't be real.

Yeah, now we want to be friends with the EU? After all the shit we've been saying about the EU for years?

We're going to get well and truly fucked

 

[ittoryu]

She is marking her territory, hurt Britain in trade, and Britain will hurt you back

Are you serious?

 

[Frankfurter]

No, at worst they will bring production into the EU.

Reminds me of Trumps threats against BMW, where BMW commented that they actually export tons of cars from the US to other countries lol.

 

[SporeCrawler]

It's a good thing that most of the high volume of manufactures are foreign owned, so they can put pressure on the EU for better trade.

or they decide to manufacture somewhere else. chech republic, slovakia and rumania is cheap and has highly skilled engineers I heard

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Oh we're so healed, Mother Theresa!

The losers must respect the result, and thus never contest it ever, just as the losing side did in 1975.

 

[Xando]

Live reaction from germany:

Zum Schluß droht May den Europäern damit, was sie alles verlieren würden, wenn sie UK bestraften. Das grenzt an Größenwahn.

In the end, May threatens the Europeans with what they would lose if they punished the UK. This is bordering on delusions of grandeur.

[jelly]

Is she fucking serious ?

What the hell is she smoking, this can't be real.

Utterly bizarre.

 

[Clydefrog]

cant believe i'm seeing this 3 days early

 

[AHA-Lambda]

IT IS NOT COMING TOGETHER!!
"losers" to respcet the outcome?

WTF is going on??

This is the biggest fuck you to people who voted Remain

 

[Izuna]

May knows she'll be dead by the time people know she was actually full of shit.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

She is marking her territory, hurt Britain in trade, and Britain will hurt you back

No hurt!
No hurt!

You're hurt!

 

[ReplacementPelican]

The biggest laugh is that there is a correlation between the strongest leave voting areas and the lowest levels of immigration.

Yeah but living in West London and hearing different accents and languages every day is amazing when you're having a good life. When you're living in a shit area and looking for someone to blame and you've been told ad nauseum its because of immigration you zero-the-fuck-in on any foreign accent because you're listening out for it.

 

[Easy_D]

Is she fucking serious ?

EU members who don't offer good deals to UK are doing calamitous self harm and not acting as friends ?

What the hell is she smoking, this can't be real.

But, that's what the UK is doing, leaving the EU is harming them and they are not acting very friendly. Straight out of the Trumputin playbook this one

 

[this guy are sick]

Does Theresa May think she's in a gangster movie?

She's that mid boss that appears in the first twenty minutes to harass the protagonist before someone bigger comes along and makes her disappear in a river or something

 

[SporeCrawler]

wait so she is going to let the parliament vote on the negotiated deal? so if parliament rejects does this mean no brexit? lol

 

[SirRattleBalls]

Imagine if she starts shouting fake news at the reporters...

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

The next generation will blame you for this.

 

[SilentRob]

The fuck. Was she talking to her own ministers while the press was sitting somewhere at the sidelines?
