She is undoubtedly a very bright woman, but she is also the personification of everything that is wrong with the BBC’s coverage of news and current affairs - a living example of the contempt the corporation has for the intelligence of their “loyal audience”.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818860172734529356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-49183813740512153132017-03-30T20:08:07.520+01:002017-03-30T20:08:07.520+01:00She's so smart that she knew she could get awa...She's so smart that she knew she could get away with wearing black nail polish in solidarity with the anti-Article 50 campaign yesterday.

We hear the usual guff about 5-7 years... <br /><br />However, May's government has made fully clear they intend to conclude the deal within 2 years (and why on earth would they make concessions on payments, EU migrant status etc without such a deal being in place). Yes, there may be an implementation phase, but that will be to our advantage in my view. <br /><br />If the political will is there, all they have to do is cut and paste the existing free trade agreements with S Korea, Canada, EFTA and Switzerland. Not so difficult really. Clearly the political will is there on the UK's side, it's simply a question of whether the EU also wishes to reach an amicable agreement. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
