They're Finally Doing It

[UK prime minister Theresa May] took to her feet [in parliament] minutes after the European council president, Donald Tusk, confirmed that he had received notification, declaring that “the UK has delivered Brexit” nine months after a bruising referendum campaign.

“We understand that there will be consequences for the UK of leaving the EU. We know that we will lose influence over the rules that affect the European economy. We know that UK companies that trade with the EU will have to align with rules agreed by institutions of which we are no longer a part, just as we do in other overseas markets. We accept that,” she said.

[...]

“This is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back. Britain is leaving the European Union. We are going to make our own decisions and our own laws. We are going to take control of the things that matter most to us. And we are going to take this opportunity to build a stronger, fairer Britain – a country that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.”

The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, responded by promising that the government would be “held to account at every stage of the negotiations”.

[...]

He promised to oppose any threats to turn Britain into a “low-wage tax haven”.

[...]

May was heckled when she declared that she would fight for the “liberal, democratic values of Europe.”

Maybe they can form a union with Trump's America.

The prime minister stressed her desire to strengthen the “union of the four nations” of the UK.

Possibly three by the end of the two years if Scotland's referendum takes them out of the UK. Maybe two if Northern Ireland doesn't settle back down.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
