Quote:Sir Ivan Roger's resignation letter]Contrary to the beliefs of some, free trade does not just happen when it is not thwarted by authorities: increasing market access to other markets and consumer choice in our own, depends on the deals, multilateral, plurilateral and bilateral that we strike, and the terms that we agree.Gold dust: free trade doesn't just happen, it is a state construct.
And this:
Quote:I hope you will continue to challenge ill-founded arguments and muddled thinking and that you will never be afraid to speak the truth to those in power.I hope that you will support each other in those difficult moments where you have to deliver messages that are disagreeable to those who need to hear them.
I hope that you will continue to be interested in the views of others, even where you disagree with them, and in understanding why others act and think in the way that they do.
Which I think translates as 'Fuck you very much.'
This most interesting thing is this:
Quote:We do not yet know what the government will set as negotiating objectives for the UK's relationship with the EU after exit.If the senior UK representetive at the EU still doesn't know, then who in the hell does?
