Prime Minister Theresa May has said the UK will not begin official negotiations on leaving the EU this year as she held talks with Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel. Speaking in Berlin on Wednesday, the PM said securing a “sensible and orderly departure” from the EU would take time, but she insisted the UK would not “walk away” from Europe and wanted to retain the “closest economic links”.

    Not sure this meeting went very well at all. Merkel appears willing to cut her nose off to spite her face, possibly because she now realises that inviting millions of Islamists into the EU was a mistake.
    As for France and the meeting with Hollande later today, expectations couldn't be lower. Seems he is threatening to flood the UK with immigrants via the French owned Channel Tunnel and Channel Ferries. Perhaps we should consider closing our side of the Tunnel and prevent French Ferries access to British ports.

    Come on May, get that flaming article 50 invoked, and stop dithering about.

    @2. To what purpose? The UK will invoke Article 50 when it's good and ready. Mrs May won't be hurried by Fishface 2. So what if the EU and Scotland go into economic meltdown? I have two reactions. Don't care AND don't care. My guess is that Fishface 2 has already been told her fortune. And Hollande is about to be told his. Article 50 will be invoked when OUR position is strongest, the EU's is weakest, when we have a fully-staffed team of negotiators, when we have our objectives clear. In the meantime, Hollande and Fishface 2 can go whistle.
