Mrs May delivered her BIG BREXIT  speech in Florence this afternoon. She confirmed that there will be a 'transition period' of up to two years following the March 2019 deadline. The UK will be honouring its payments to the EU throughout this period. Mrs May is seeking a 'bespoke arrangement' with the EU but failed to explain what she actually meant by 'bespoke arrangement.' It's taken 15 months to get this far. As I listened to the speech I became quite agitated and then somewhat flummoxed. Mrs May chose Florence as the destination from where she would deliver her speech. Describing Florence, Mrs May said: 'It was here, more than anywhere else, that the Renaissance began-a period of history that inspired centuries of creativity and critical thought across our continent and which in many ways defined what it meant to be European. A period of history whose example shaped the modern world. A period of history that teaches us that when we come tog...

The Tory party are in a mess following the calamitous speech given by Theresa May at the Tory Party Conference. She coughed and spluttered all the way through, was interrupted by a silly twerp (a self-described comedian)who handed her a spoof P45 and then the letters of the slogan behind her started falling off the wall. A REALLY bad day at the office. The state of the party which is supposed to be delivering Brexit can be summed up in the words of Disraeli: artycelia   22 hours ago " You behold a range of exhausted volcanoes.

artycelia   2 days ago That was a REALLY bad day at the office. The cough was unfortunate, perhaps she should have had a contingency plan in place for the speech- asking Amber Rudd to prepare to deliver it  maybe? The content was lost amid the coughing. The silly twit who handed over the P45 should be thoroughly ashamed of himself, there might have been a moment of sheer panic before she realised what was happening. That action put her off her stride.  The letters falling off the slogan - it all went horribly wrong. The thing is though, that this is the government who is responsible for taking us out of the European Union. Bloody Brexit. Are there any contingency plans in place if/when that all goes horribly wrong? Two letters I would like to see fall to the floor are a 'B' and an 'R' . I am no fan of Mrs May but blimey, I hope her husband has a very large 'in and 'onic waiting for her when she gets home tonight. Delete 24 Recommend...
