Is This Not The Most Morally Bankrupt Thing Ever, Even For Teeresa May?

[kvalidir]

Teresa May has actually threatened to potentially cease co-operation on security matters with EU member states if she doesn't get her own way to get a trade deal negotiated alongside 'divorce talks' ( which frankly isn't going to happen).
Doesn't showing such panicked fearful posturing already not simply get the back up of every EU member country and weaken our position as it is surely not the actions of a leader of a country to endanger the rest of Europe ( and indeed ourselves) in a vain bid to get her own way, but rather of someone who is morally bankrupt and desperately out of her depth in the international field?

Mikey, It’s in everyone’s best interests to share security information. In that respect Europe needs us just as much as we need them. Do get a grip!

Hello ... someone getting offended on behalf of someone else alert.

I think it is reasonable to expect someone of Kvlad's intelligence to know the name of our Prime Minister.

[Baldric]

Mikey, be fair, she tried twice, both different and both wrong,
I think Talbot has a point.

kvalidir....watch out ! The Spelling Police are out of bed !

[-Talbot-]

People's names are different to spelling errors.

It's considered good manners to get the persons name right, like for example Queen Elizabeth rather than our Betty.

Oh well beat me to death with your pension book Talbot, I made a typo on a phone whilst travelling! Personally that underlines everything wrong with the Brexit camp- rabid about a typo on a message board and unconcerned that our Prime Minister, beloved of all the swivel eyed loons, is threatening our nearest neighbours with withholding information about terrorists if they won't capitulate and do everything her way. I could not be more ashamed I don't think to be represented by this ghastly unethical woman and her ghastly unethical government. How embarrassing.

"In that respect Europe needs us just as much as we need them. "

We don't actually know that, though. We are not privy to the information available to GCHQ and Europol, so we don't know how they compare outside of total speculation. Sure, Britain's intelligence agencies have a reputation for punching well above their weight and have links with the CIA that Europol doesn't. But Europol also has the combined resources of 27 countries and we don't.

As to whether this is moral... well, it's politics. I'm not sure what you were expecting. We all knew this was going to come up in the negotiations, and people decided to risk it anyway. If the UK isn't willing to threaten the future of EU citizens here (which it isn't), then it really doesn't have many cards to play, and this is one of them.

Well said kvalidir .......go get em girl !

[Old_Geezer]

I think I'll wait until I see the outcome of the talks. I'm not going to quibble about what is and isn't included on route, yet.

I reserve the right to continue to mock the dafter demands, etc..

[-Talbot-]

And no it is not 'The Most Morally Bankrupt Thing Ever'


If remainers are so level headed how come we never had (could have missed it) a thread slating the EU members who rejected this?

kvalidir, she isn't - but don't let that stop you spinning. She won't be your problem when you've spun yourself clear across the Channel.

Lol ... reading that (complete with insults) I think I know who is rabid.

[kvalidir]

Yes Talbot you've sussed me out. I'm part of a Remainer Splinter Cell whose job it is to upset old Brexiteers 'til they expire with the pure outrage of it all, thus leaving us all to a glorious Pro Euro snog in. Are we nearly there yet?

[mikey4444]

kvalidir....my advice at this point is the same that it was the other day...just ignore all the nasties !

[Togo]

Strange too, how the difficulties in typing on a "phone whilst travelling" only manifested themselves when it came to getting our Prime Minister's name correct.. Spooky even. :))

[kvalidir]

Sorry mikey I must stop trolling them before that joke inadvertently becomes a reality # soamusedthough #sorrynotsorry :-)

[emmie]

mikey
and just who are the nasties?

You won't upset me but you appear to have upset yourself, calm down dear.

Don't you have the option to stay in Germany anyway?
Although I have been talking to two Germans today who are very upset and think Brexit isn't any good at all for Germany.

[kvalidir]

Togo I'm sorry. From the bottom of my heart. i will never get Tearaysa Mays name wrong again. Promise.
