That's some assumption. Presumably you think we'll have to agree to freedom of movement too in order to stay in?
I'd be happy with that. Not sure everyone will though.
Coming out of the EU will be a process not an event, rather like India removing themselves from the British Raj - they simply "nationalised" the legislation onto their statute book. We will have to do the same The EU has been a process towards anti-democratic politic union albeit a project which is not yet finished ( engrenage). This will be similar to Brexit; it will be a process not an event. In terms of access to the single market, - the European Economic Area (EEA) agreements - there are provisions to unilaterally suspend the four freedoms within an EEA agreement (Article 112). Liechtenstein has done this with free movement of workers and Iceland did this with free movement of capital after the collapse of Icesave. |

Interesting today that May said stuff, which could have quite easily tripped off Ed Miliband's tongue, (along with a bacon sandwich). As a daughter of the manse a la Gordon Brown, although of course in his case son, it will be interesting to see if she was lying. Having had 6 years of Cameron/Osborne its easy to believe that it's just what politicians do.
A quiz on the very point.....I got 10/12 http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/12/who-said-it-theresa-may-or-ed-miliband |

Well at least it removes any uncertainty over whether or not we will be seen as a global laughing stock in the wake of Brexit and the subsequent fall-out. Suspect May's just giving him enough rope for the silly twat to hang himself, it's just whether he takes us all with him.

In fairness, Boris was made foreign sec and then moments later, two new departments (Brexit and International Trade) were carved out of foreign office territory, making his role basically just going round the world and apologising, which he has plenty of experience of anyway.
The person who is going to be particularly interested is Liam Fox, who's been put in charge of delivery all Vote Leave's wild promises about being able to trade with the whole world. I imagine his performance reviews will be against his own speeches...

Boris Johnson is now Britain's leading diplomat. Let that thought roll round in your head a bit. Yet again, the interests of the nation have been sacrificed for the sake of internal Tory politics.

I imagine his performance reviews will be against his own speeches...
The fact that the disgraced Liam Fox has the brass neck to consider himself suitable for any office is appalling. The fact he has got one, and an important one at that, is if anything even more depressing than Harpo the Fucking Clown at the Foreign Office |

What happened to the cat? They made a big deal out of him staying at No. 10, it must have been for a reason. Can't we just put him in charge for a bit?

Not sure that May has been canny in putting Boris in charge of the FO means dumping him somewhere else in the world while the real business of Brexit happens without him. There will be a specialised office dealing with brexit negotiations |

Just think of the favours Fox can do for his mates now he has the international trade portfolio to dish out.... The international community response to Boris's appointment merely reinforces our newly created position of comedy nation.... Boris Johnson is foreign secretary: The world reacts - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-36790977 and we dare to act all superior to the idea of Trump being president.... |
