France orders Britain to trigger Article 50 and choose new PM ‘within days’
UK Express ^

Posted on 06/25/2016 4:54:27 AM PDT by ameribbean expat

FRANCE today told Britain to appoint a new prime minister within “a few days” and to immediately quit the EU by soon triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Speaking in Berlin following a meeting of the six founding member states of the EU, French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told the UK not to play a “cat and mouse” game following the historic Brexit vote.

He said: “Of course a new prime minister must be appointed, that will probably require a few days but this is quite urgent.

This is exactly why people voted to leave EU: getting ordered by Surrender Monkeys to do jaque Schitt.

It's a reasonable request. Article 50 is triggered when a country informs the EU it plans on leaving. After that they have two years to negotiate the arrangements of the withdrawal and a framework for future relations. There is no reason why Great Britain can't invoke Article 50 immediately and start the clock running.

As for the prime minister part, France has no say in that matter. The Conservative party has to select a new leader first, and that should be done well before October but certainly not within days.

They’re showing the UK why they should leave. Euroweenie countries like France wouldn’t have any control or say how the UK does business.

It looks like Cameron is trying to delay starting the two year timer by not invoking Article 50 immediately. I doubt he is doing that for the benefit of the British people. Cameron, you’ve gotten you orders and there is no reason to delay unless you are trying to find a way to disobey. Do it or get out of the way today.

There certainly are voices calling for a vote but there is no indication of the numbers

In coming days, the intensity of the out cry may increase but I don’t forsee a vote any time soon

The EU rut is too deep and comfortable

Close the Chunnel and guard the channel

And sign some real productive two-country treaties that establish mutually beneficial trade.

It does seem that the mess that has been made of the global economy happened because of trade deals involving multiple countries.

As usual in a UK paper, the comments following the article are better than the copy:

“Oi! Junkyard! We the people never gave our permission for the marriage in the first place. We thought Ted Heath was hiring us a good housemaid, not arranging for a domineering wife to move in with all her bleedin’ relatives - with their grubby paws in the biscuit tin, eating all the chocolate ones. So, not so much a divorce, as an annulment on the grounds of false representation. And if you want to act with any authority on the subject, I suggest you get yourself elected, as if you ever could. I mean to say, who’d vote for a drunkard? That’s what passes for democracy round our neck of the woods - that and getting our household accounts audited to show that nobody is poking a fish-knife up the kids’ money-boxes.”

Cameron is resigning, so the selection procedure for a New party leader will take a month or two.

They're going to need dozens of them since existing ones are with the EU and not the UK.

“The plan is how about the 48% who want to stay.”

1. Get rid of Scotland (they’re just a bunch of layabouts)
2. Turn Northern Ireland over to Ireland proper
3. Deport all the Muzzies

Problem Solved

Historically, France threatening Britain has never worked out all that well.
