"FFS, you sad, sad Remoaner. Nothing to do with the topic, "
Wrong again Mr AC.
With hopes fading (inside the Conservative party, everyone else thought they were nuts to start with) of any kind of sweetheart deal on Brexit, BAe's business model is highly relevant to the UK economy.
A (nominally) UK company already sells arms to questionable regimes world wide.
Perhaps it's time other industries considered the same approach?
Glaxo SKB could greatly widen its range of supplied drugs (for foreign consumption only of course) while BA could consider changing it's slogan to "If you have the fare we will take you there."
And I'm surprised BAe didn't try to sell to India, but they seem to be planning nationwide net surveillance at a price BAe simply can't match. Still not to worry, with the greatly relaxed border controls I' sure the will be able to import more of those devs with much less hassle than in the past.
Granted this sort of behavior might have the UK labelled as a "rogue nation," but wasn't part of May's massive election failure her inability to paint a "Bright post Brexit future" As the Sunday Times put it? When you have a reasonable absolute majority in the House and you call an unnecessary election you do it to
a) Increase your majority by a lot
b)destroy your majority so you have to fight every vote depending on the support of a party 1/32 your size ?
Because it's pretty clear that after May 2019 the people who voted Leave will be split into 2 groups,
Those who realized they've been played like "A banjo at an Ozark hoedown," to coin a phrase, and those who don't.
"Billions Above estimate" could be the UK's post Brexit motto.
"Ethics?" That's a county next to Kent isn't it?
