In what could go down in history as Stern Sunday - with the publication of her no-holds-barred Mail on Sunday piece, and the show of a steelier side on the BBC's Andrew Marr show (link) - Britain's prime minister vowed not to crumble under pressure from Tory rebels and Remainers.
"I say to the British people today: I am not going to Brussels to compromise our national interest; I am going to fight for it," May wrote.May then reminded readers that the money paid in subscriptions to Brussels could be better spent on at home. A throwback to the Leave campaign's Brexit bus, which broadcast to the world that Britain pays "the EU £350 million ($463 million) a week - let's fund out NHS instead," May pledged to deliver "a Brexit dividend to support domestic priorities like our long-term plan for the NHS."
"Our Brexit deal for Britain seizes the moment to deliver the democratic decision of the British people and secure a bright new future for our country outside the European Union. It restores our national sovereignty, so that it is our government that decides who comes into our country, our parliaments that make our laws and our courts that enforce them."
Comment: Israel has always pretended to be a democracy while actually being an apartheid state. But you cannot have it both ways! If this law is passed, will they at least admit they are not interested in democracy and prefer to be a colonial regime?
