[pashmilla]

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.

Pretty sure the EU can't wait to be rid of us. We've been nothing but an obstructive special snowflake annoyance for years. I'd want to get rid of us too.

 

[Prisoner]

What a load of shit.

 

[glaurung]

BBC journalist in with the stab. Good.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

A tinpot leader for a tinpot country.

 

[jufonuk]

Theresa May "Blah blah Brexit, blah blah Great Britain, blah blah.. thinly veiled threats to the EU... blah blah "

Pound crashes

EU members to Theresa May "fuck off"

Theresa May "ok"

 

[Tak3n]

Are you serious?

She listed what damage the EU would take if Britain took 'no deal'

 

[mnz]

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

Any idea how long any of this will take? Sounds...very slow.

 

[Zaph]

Solid first question. gj bbc

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

Sums up large portions of Leave voters

 

[StWilson85]

Boris being desperate to be the last person to clap was amusing.

The rest of this, urgh.

 

[Audioboxer]

Sick burn bro

 

[velociraptor]

Hmm I missed this. Can someone please quote some of the 'gold mines'?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

We're not worse off the numbers said we were better than the models based on something that didn't happen (art 50 being triggered on June 24th)

 

[SilentRob]

She listed what damage the EU would take if Britain took 'no deal'

The UK very simply has no ground to have their Last Stand on. If the EU says no, they are fucked well, well before anyone in the EU will feel consequences.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

bbc in surprisingly cutthroat there

 

[Bony Manifesto]

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

That was what the 'no deal is better than a bad deal' spiel was for I think.

 

[Tak3n]

Fuck you May, we ain't coming together.



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.

apologies, I was paraphrasing

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Oh shit, Laura.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

No info on preferential access for EU citizens.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

The way May is talking it wouldn't surprise me if she has promises from Trump that he will threaten to withdraw NATO support unless the EU gives the UK a sweetheart deal. The EU might want to be tough but if they have visions of Russian tank divisions rolling across the European countrysides like its 1945, all the tough rhetoric would disappear

 

[Izuna]

Guys if you squint hard enough, you can hear Nigel Farage speaking these words.

~~

Did she just ask someone to give her a question she knew was coming?

 

[SporeCrawler]

Any idea how long any of this will take? Sounds...very slow.

well after 2 years UK is out. with our without a replacement treaty

The way May is talking it wouldn't surprise me if she has promises from Trump that he will threaten to withdraw NATO support unless the EU gives the UK a sweetheart deal. The EU might want to be tough but if they have visions of Russian tank divisions rolling across the European countrysides like its 1945, all the tough rhetoric would disappear

or maybe trump has promised her that he will nuke the shit out of EU if UK doesnt get a sweetheart deal.

 

[StayDead]

"support of 65 million people"

FUCK YOU THERESA!

Indeed, that complete and utter cow can fuck right off.

 

[autumnleaf]

One politician steers us towards a cliff to save his career and then another cuts the breaks and hits the accelerator to save hers.

 

[mere_immortal]

What was the BBC question?

 

[Zaph]

What was the BBC question?

"were you lying then, or lying now?"

 

[danowat]

As much as I hate May and Brexit, she was handed a shitty stick, she didn't want this, surely it's preferential for her to come out with an iron fist about the whole situation, rather than being limp wristed about it?

 

[nature boy]

US Congress would never allow that.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

"were you lying then, or lying now?"

Fuck me, that's beautiful. Need some catharsis right now.

 

[norinrad]

Lol, threatening the EU.

Trump has continuously. Why can't May?

I think you are thinking too much about it. That isn't even far fetched speculation, but political fiction at this point.

 

[Tak3n]

No info on preferential access for EU citizens.

it got lost in her speech, but she basically blamed other EU states for this, as she said she wanted to, but some other EU countries did not

 

[Garrett Hawke]

As much as I hate May and Brexit, she was handed a shitty stick, she didn't want this, surely it's preferential for her to come out with an iron fist about the whole situation, rather than being limp wristed about it?

She could be truly iron about it and acknowledge that the situation is fucking terrible and only likely to get worse before it can get any better instead of pretending that everything is fine.

 

[Easy_D]

First farce, then tragedy.

Tragedy+Time=Comedy. One day we can hopefully look back at this mess and laugh

 

[jelly]

What was the BBC question?

I was literally choking on my tea 5 mins ago.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

What was the BBC question?

'You said leaving the EU would leave everyone worse off just 8 months ago".

"Now you are saying it won't. You either changed your mind, or you don't care".

"Which is it?'

 

[SirRattleBalls]

Dam she dodged that Parliament question if they declined the deal.

 

[mnz]

Wait, this almost sounded like she doesn't want to go through with it if the parliament will vote against the deal!?

The way May is talking it wouldn't surprise me if she has promises from Trump that he will threaten to withdraw NATO support unless the EU gives the UK a sweetheart deal. The EU might want to be tough but if they have visions of Russian tank divisions rolling across the European countrysides like its 1945, all the tough rhetoric would disappear

What a great thing to look forward to...

 

[danowat]

She could be truly iron about it and acknowledge that the situation is fucking terrible and only likely to get worse before it can get any better instead of pretending that everything is fine.

And that would help how?, there was never any going back on the decision.

 

[oti]

Trump has continuously. Why can't May?

Because the UK is not as important.

 

[Audioboxer]

*My career 8 ball says...*

Career politicians, piss in the wind and go the way it blows.

 

[Gowans]

Let the pound hit the floor.

Interesting enough pound is actually up 1.5%

Yup it's still going up.

 

[Harmen]

As much as I hate May and Brexit, she was handed a shitty stick, she didn't want this, surely it's preferential for her to come out with an iron fist about the whole situation, rather than being limp wristed about it?

If you want to solve issues, you must acknowledge them first.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

And that would help how?, there was never any going back on the decision.

Yes there is. Article 50 hasn't even been triggered yet.

You're telling me that if they reheld the referendum today, after we've seen what it has done to our economy, that it would still be a leave win?

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

I think you are thinking too much about it. That isn't even far fetched speculation, but political fiction at this point.

The last year has seen political fiction become reality. Outside the box thinking should be the new normal.

 

[jufonuk]

What the fuck UK. What if we voted to all nuke the UK would she then just ahead and do it because it is our will??

This doesn't seem real it's like the UK is throwing a massive fit for some stupid reason.

Either something is worked out or maybe all those countries we were cunts to in the past are daring is to do this and once we are out it will be a giant middle finger to us.

What the hell ?

 

[Zaph]

Because the UK is not as important.

Frankly something we need to realise ASAP

The US can survive 4/8 years of Trump, because the world has no choice.

 

[jelly]

'You said leaving the EU would leave everyone worse off just 8 months ago".

thanks.

 

[deli2000]

Sick burn bro

Scotland has truly been fucked over in all of this.

 

[Tak3n]

Lets be honest, she has well and truly called out the EU.... as much as it will be unpopular, she just said we are picking up our ball and going home....

the huge question will be, does the EU blink, or do they remain steadfast in their position

 

[SirRattleBalls]

If she gives Parliament a vote then the court case must be pointless then .. right ?
