As Wednesday’s News at Six show wrapped up, presenter Sophie Raworth reminded her audience of the night’s main news item.

“Theresa May," she announced, "says she intends to go back to Brussels to renegotiate her Brexit deal, but EU leaders say the deal is done…”

But as Ms Raworth mentioned the Prime Minister’s name, the screen instead cut to archive footage of Second World War planes in the sky.

Nearly one in three British businesses are planning to relocate some of their operations abroad or have already shifted them to cope with a hard Brexit, according to a leading lobby group.

The Institute of Directors (IoD) warned that 29% of firms in a survey of 1,200 members believed Brexit posed a significant risk to their operations in the UK and had either moved part of their businesses abroad already or were planning to do so.

No one in England, who has ever studied 20th Cent. History is going to believe that was really an accident. More like ‘accidentally-on-purpose’.
They would probably call it being Cheeky.

Schools should be “flexible” in what dinners they serve children in England if there are food shortages because of Brexit, the government has said as it warns local authorities to step up their no-deal planning.

Stockpiling across the country is intensifying as the clock ticks down to 29 March, with the private sector revealing plans to secure long-term supplies of everything from emergency trauma packs to soap and Magnum ice-cream.

NHS trusts could “quickly run out of vital medicine” in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the chief executive of a leading hospital group has warned.

Dr David Rosser of University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) said that, despite NHS stockpiling, shortages would likely occur due to “unprecedented” distribution challenges.

Medicine shortages could lead to some operations being postponed, he said.

... Tusk is understood to have replied that the prime minister could not expect Brussels to come to her rescue with a solution. EU officials and leaders are increasingly concerned that Downing Street is seeking to blame Brussels for their failures.

After the call, which overran as the two leaders grappled over the next steps in the talks, Tusk tweeted: “My message to PM Theresa May: the EU position is clear and consistent. The withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation.

BBC, Guardian are at the top of the anti-Brexit mob, so no surprise anything posted on this thread.

the very fact it is so difficult to get out of the EU - just as it is taking 4 years to get out of the UN’s Paris climate agreement - is evidence enough what gangster/globalist institutions the EU and the UN are.

Someone will be “reprimanded”, some low level lackey of course.
Of they’ll get someone to fall on their sword.
But we know, the decision to play the footage was made far higher.

Whatever.

That said, the war footage was no accident or gaffe. To think so is idiocy.

The difficulty encountered in leaving an organization is a measure of how much that an organization is either a cult, a criminal gang, or a financial scam...or all the above.

Leave means leave. Britain is the side making it difficult for themselves to leave. If anything, at this point the EU is actually pushing Britain out.
