Theresa May in denial after her Salzburg ordeal | John Crace If it hadn’t all been so numbingly inevitable, it might have been possible to feel sorry for Theresa May. Back in the UK, both remainers and leavers had pronounced her Chequers’ proposals to be dead in the water, but the prime minister had still travelled to the informal EU summit in Salzburg hoping for a stay of execution. A few luke-warm words and some insincere air kisses at the very least, until after she had survived the Conservative party conference. Her current range of vision really is that limited. Instead she got a lesson in plain-speaking brutality. No attempts to sugar the pill, as EU leader after leader took it in turns to dismiss Chequers and to mock the UK over its lack of progress in its Brexit preparations. Even the Dutch thought they were better prepared for a no-deal Brexit than us. It was left to Donald Tusk, president of the EU council, to deliver the coup de grace. The Chequers’ deal was unworkable because it undermined the integrity of the single market. And, by the way, its solution to the Northern Ireland border was just fantasy. Let me go on record and thank my Eurropean brothers and sisters for their strength of resolve and their support for peace and prosperity in an ungrateful UK. Lets get ready to rejoin our friends in Europe and rebuild the damage done by this nonsense.
The majority of the Welsh voted to leave the EU. What happened? Did the Welsh finally sober up and realize how truly stupid they were? The record is clear: Wales is a mess and one of the poorest regions in the EU Wales is a major recipient of welfare from the UK and EU If there is no Brexit deal Wales will lose a significant amount of "welfare payments" to the region "Since 2000, £5.3bn has flowed into Wales from the European Union to help its most deprived communities." ........ "Its Welsh manifesto says Wales "cannot afford" the Conservatives' "damaging approach to Brexit." Plaid Cymru is demanding "that every single penny we lose from Europe is replaced by Westminster". The party believes Wales is under threat of losing £680m a year and said it would not "accept a penny less". It also outlines in its "action plan" for Wales a £7.5bn investment programme to fund vital infrastructure projects." What happens next with our EU funding? It's no wonder the English consider the Welsh to be stupid. .
Clearly conservatives in the UK are just as stupid as conservatives in the US – and stupid to believe anyone would buy into their nonsense. It should come as no surprise that the EU would reject May’s inane notion that the UK would retain the same trade benefits out of the EU as it enjoyed as a member. In the US or UK: conservatives can’t have it both ways.
