After Brexit, I'm not so sure the problem is who can Britain trust, but rather who can trust Britain.

Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works on 08 Apr 21:37 next collapse

Lol, they only trust what used to be their colonies.

Zaktor@sopuli.xyz on 08 Apr 22:39 collapse

Their colonies is a much longer list with a lot of nations with good reason to hate them. These are the ones where the colonizers maintained majorities over the indigenous peoples. They never even rejected the monarchy.

It may be worth noting that this is in The Telegraph, occasionally referred to as "The Torygraph", a nickname earned for being the slightly less rabid, but still very much right-leaning newspaper. "Tory" being used in the pejorative sense.

In that newspaper, the thought of the UK being untrustworthy or that Brexit was a bad idea must be carefully skirted at all costs. Then again, that seems to be government policy no matter who the government is these days.

“Tory” being used in the pejorative sense.

There is only one way to use that word: perjoratively.

This is the way.

Me too, but Trump is trying to destroy it with tariffs.

52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org on 08 Apr 21:59 next collapse

The UK might not be able to trust the US but they should be taking advantage of current events to leverage their relatively better trading position, compared to most other nations, to score some solid economic gains. Trump is likely to overlook the UK because the Pound isn’t a threat to Dollar supremacy like the Euro.

Can we get Turks&Caicos in there? We’d love them to join us, but we wouldn’t want to dangle it like some economic prize.

I like the idea of closer ties with Canada and the UK, we already have very close ties with Aus.

As a Canadian, free migration, even just to live in NZ for a couple years, sounds like a dream.

Welcome, and bring the syrup.

I would look to expand it to other countries in the future, in an EU style free movement of citizens type of arrangement.
