British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday that the government would not trigger Article 50, the formal trigger of divorce talks with the European Union, until a "UK approach" had been agreed.

May, speaking after a meeting with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon who has been looking at ways to keep Scotland in the bloc, said she wanted to get the best deal for the whole country.

Sturgeon read May - The Riot Act.

So much for May stating: "Brexit means Brexit."

The EU isn't going to allow Britain to drag this out.

Scotland is Britain's problem, not the EU.

I liked a British politician who was debating a Scottish politician a week or so ago. (Paraphrased)

Scot: Scotland is worried that the UK will try to punish us for seeking our independence!

Brit: If we truly desired to punish Scotland then we would GRANT you your independence!

I love it, ‘best deal for the country.’ Here’s the deal the EU will offer: You pay us lots and lots and lots of hard currency, and you take Ireland with you. Oh, and we’ll take as many arms as we can as well.

The deal the Brits will want: We keep our money, but you keep on paying for everything you’re already paying for.

The deal that will happen: Nothing. One country holds up the extension and the UK leaves the EU without an agreement after 3 years of hard negotiating.

Nope. The Anti-Brexit PM will drag this out and collude with the EU to keep GB in the EU.

Sure they will. They want GB in the EU and the best way to keep them in is drag out the negotiations. A clean break now would not keep GB in the EU.

Perhaps, but she appointed a strongly pro-exit secretary to lead the process.

What process? The PM is saying here we have to wait. It’s all kabuki, IMO. The elite want GB in the EU and they won’t give up that fight.

The UK should offer any other countries the opportunity to join the UNITED Kingdom if they leave the EU too.

UK gets to set the rules.

Uh oh!

I surmised as much. The Globalist NWO elites have no use for democracy and they believe any stunt they pull to perpetuate the progress of the NWO is justified.

If this turns out as I fear, I hope they have a revolution over there and take their country back.

The brexit foot dragging is well underway. It will be dragged out until it is determined that a new vote is needed. Then the elites will get their desired outcome of GB staying in the EU.

International reaction to the appointment of Boris Johnson as foreign secretary has been overwhelmingly negative. The news prompted incredulity in stunned global capitals, with few finding anything good to say about Britain’s new top diplomat. Some even wondered whether the story was a joke.
