UK - Theresa May wants a more united Britain

Perhaps Theresa May is starting to feel a little pressure w.r.t. Brexit, maybe she's just trying to distract people from the government's embarrassing U-turn over National Insurance contributions or maybe she is just as passionately attached to the Union :rolleyes:.... but Theresa May will make a speech today in Wales calling for Britain to be more united.

Ignoring for the moment that it's government policies which have sowed most of the seeds of discord recently be they austerity, calling for devolved powers to come back to Westminster post-Brexit of showing a seeming lack of regard for people outside the M25, I think it's rich to call for this when embroiled in a spat with the leader of the SNP. Nicola Strugeon must be doing something right because my right wing friends and acquaintances are peppering Facebook with all kinds of anti-Sturgeon "jokes" and insults ;).

Anyway, here's a link to the story and a couple of choice quotes:

Quote:

In her speech on Friday, she will also say she wants to see a fairer society and a stronger economy across the UK.

.....and her way of doing this will be distancing ourselves from our largest trading partner and dismantling human rights legislaton ?

Quote:

She will also promise to take account of competing demands from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as the negotiations begin on leaving the EU, saying: "We are four nations but at heart we are one people."

No she won't, she'll do what's best for her white, elderly, middle-class, English base

Meanwhile the leader of the Conservatives is doing his bit to preserve the union :rolleyes:

Quote:

Meanwhile, the Conservative's leader in Wales, Andrew RT Davies, has accused Labour and Plaid Cymru of "wallowing in self-pity". He said the situation had got worse since the referendum vote with First Minister Carwyn Jones and Plaid leader Leanne Wood being in "complete denial" over Brexit. "They cannot get their head around it because they do not want it to happen," the South Wales Central AM said. Mr Davies said they acted as if "everyone is picking on Wales" when the nation had a great future in store.

Well Mr Davis, if you or your party could even give some clue about how things will be better then maybe people might start to listen but you have nothing. Instead we have David Davis turning promises regarding EU trade post-Brexit into aspirations, Ford closing the Bridgend engine plant and a squeeze on regional development funds :rolleyes:
