BRITAIN’S goal is to trade as usual with Europe’s countries.

All those settled in either Britain or the continent should remain.

This would be in the mutual interest of all populations concerned. No Brexit supporters, in or out of government, would argue differently.

It is EU officials who are the obstacle.

Their priority is not to negotiate what’s best for the European people, but for the welfare and survival of the European state.

Let’s not forget, this consists of a few thousand overpaid individuals working in a handful of office blocks.

Britain has always given to the EU more than we’ve got back in either trade or grants, so we owe them nothing.

It’s bad enough that we have to wait two years to allow them to adjust to our departure.

The British ‘remainers’ are playing treacherous games.

Having a majority in both houses of parliament, they wish to undermine Theresa May’s negotiations to achieve this goal.

She must be free to fight back and have ‘no deal’ as an option in order to achieve what we all want.
