He wanted to keep them in WWII? That's a new one on me. My understanding is that he felt it would be good for the populations of both countries and offer stability. Effectively act as a large counterweight to the Germans at the time.

Theresa May's Government is putting a successful Brexit at risk by failing to show "active and energetic" leadership, the head of the National Audit Office has warned.
In an unprecedented intervention Sir Amyas Morse said Whitehall departments are being left to "struggle on their own" with the challenges of Brexit because of a failure of leadership and direction.
He said the Government could "come apart like a chocolate orange" unless departments are given more support, as he warned Mrs May that Brexit poses the "biggest challenge" since the Second World War..

What a shambles, led by weak and wobbly Theresa. I can see at the end of this us going back to the EU and saying 'sorry for wasting your time but we want to stay after all..' Wouldn't blame them if they said 'get lost' !
Have to take issue with him on one point. No way do chocolate oranges always come apart easily. I've often had to take a hammer to them, this Govt. isn't that tough

I never knew about the 1939 talks, I had only heard about the offer in 1940. It's always good to learn something new

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Corbyn's EU interference could WRECK Brexit deal... and save us BILLIONS, says Rees-Mogg
The staunch Brexiteer said the Labour and SNP leaders are entitled to attempt to dip their oar into the European Union.
However, he insisted suggestions they will have any influence over the final negotiations is nonsense - and if they tempt Brussels’ into punishing the UK, then leaving the EU without a deal will benefit Britons.

The are suppose to be all educated people, they should stop fighting each other and get together and get a good deal. I think some of them think if they vote against each it won't go through, Like weans in a play school

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
If there's no deal it's WTO rules, NOT stay in the EU. Don't they understand that?
TBQH That's what I voted for: Complete leave, not some kind of EU lite.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Diane James (glorious UKIP leader for 18 days for anyone who blinked) currently has a poll she commissioned on twitter, "should Britain still leave the EU"
For those who can't resist looking I wonder if it's binding or just advisory

How does irrelevant sound?
One poll mattered and the result has been enacted and process of leaving, is in transition.

My question was rhetorical, but I think the poor woman was just looking for reassurance, a bit like when Theresa May called a snap election.

Twitter is not an accurate place to gauge any kind of accurate assessment, given anyone in the whole world could have voted on that poll, giving an erroneous set of results.
