If the news is wrong in any way, then let me know how, but my sources are very good, and I would want equally good sources before I agree. Until then, stop accusing me of using false news about arguments I’m not making.
Please provide me with some of your very good sources. Politics has no place in science, if anything you said is actually true then ESA should be immediately defunded, and is likely doomed to failure.
ma gracious madame, eet eez ze Financial Times of ze 13 April. ESA is funded by the EU, and it’s not science which is affected, but business contracts.
Do you agree that the UK is forced to follow US foreign and often economic policy? The UK is going to be desperate for a US trade deal – that’s no big revelation of mine. The US is going to be putting America First – that is a quote from your hero, Donald Duck, who never said that Britain is first in the queue (Paul Ryan is starting to say that, mind you, perhaps aware of the awful situation Britain might be finding itself in March, 2019). The Americans don’t exist to do us favours.
No, the UK and US both make the same mistakes in foreign policy. Not because either was forced to but because of poor leadership on both parts. The ecconomic policies are fairly different however.
You have no sense of history. The USA is the dominant power in the world. Whether it’s the Marshall Pan, the Suez crisis, the dictation of the Labour Government;s economic policies by the Johnson administration in the mid 60s, it has been made clear that when the US speaks, the UK bends over. Money is power, and the dollar speaks. Churchill was intensely depressed at Tehran during the war because of his realisation that the UK was no longer a world power equal to the US and USSR; the secret plans to declare an economic war against the USA in 1952 were called off because of the famine in this country which would have resulted. When Eden struck out against Egypt in 56, he was stopped within 48 hours by US displeasure, in an incident that is universally held to spell the ed of British imperial power.
You are whistling in ze wind, madame, in wiching otherwise.
