If Britain is to be a free country, the difficulties of leaving simply have to be faced. Now, I know that many people here in Britain think that these are daunting times, but surely they are also stirring times ,because yet again a great country is grasping for freedom.
If I can say one thing above all, it is that if there is any country on earth that should be capable of standing on its own two feet, it’s Britain. The mother of parliaments, the world’s common language and the industrial revolution, three of the greatest gifts to the modern world. So I just want to make a few fundamental points.
The first point I make, is that it was possible to be a remainer before the democratic vote was taken, but it is not possible to be a remainer today if you also want to be a democrat.
Now, the next point I want to make is that if you can only leave with a deal, you can never really leave because a deal presupposes an agreement between two parties.
