Theresa May has been further outlining her vision for Brexit.
The Prime Minister was speaking to journalists on her way home from Florence. She told us, “What I see is a red, white and blue Brexit. One where we each work together as sovereign nations to achieve a common goal. We have a common bond and common ties. We should look to each other for a mutually beneficial partnership. The partnership should be close and will lead to us overcoming issues together. It won’t be a union but it will be exactly the same as a union.”
When pressed further, Mrs May told us that the partnership will see Britain try to keep the exact same conditions of union membership but pay billions of pounds more to do it.
Predictably the speech hasn’t gone down well Brexiteers. One told the Herald, “I voted for Brexit. We should come straight out and if they won’t let us we should send the Royal Navy to sort it. Those new aircraftless carriers will soon have it resolved. And if that fails we still have a Lancaster we could bomb German dams with.”
84 year old Cliff Edge said, “I voted to stop the fascist EU dictating to us. Me and my friends didn’t fight in the battle of Britain to be dictated to by Germans. But that is exactly what’s happening. You’ll have to fight Hitler without us this time.”
40 year old Brian Lawton said, “Does this mean we still have to use the metric system? I refuse. Lock me up if you want, but you’ll never take away my freedom to buy a carpet in furlongs.”
Lawton also went on to add that he was fuming that blue passports may not become a reality. “If I ever travelled outside of Rochdale and used a passport I’d hate it if it wasn’t blue.”
