Brexit is only the beginning
Brexit is only the beginning
- Damn the torpedoes, full Brexit ahead.
That, more or less, was what British Prime Minister Theresa May had to say on Tuesday about her plan to take the country out of the European Union. There will be no compromises. Britain will not try to stay in Europe's Single Market, and only on a limited basis in its Customs Union. It will instead try to negotiate new free trade deals with Europe, and the rest of the world for that matter.
In other words, Britain really is going to make itself poorer so that it can restrict immigration. Welcome to the new nationalism.
