UK is becoming a pariah state

Not satisfied with making Britain the laughing stock of Europe (your readers may ask their continental contacts for an honest opinion) this government of the illiberal elite is now turning the UK into a pariah state.

The United Kingdom Internal Market Bill not only breaks international law, but the Government accepts, even boasts, that it break international law! To argue that 27 sovereign states, working together by international agreement, are not acting ‘in good faith’ because they defend principles established for more than 50 years would be farcical if it wasn’t so dangerous.

This Government fully understood the implications of the EU withdrawal agreement which it committed to less than a year ago. No foreign government will conclude any agreement on anything when it knows that the British Government will renege on its obligations when they become inconvenient.

My hope is that the responsible one nation wing of the Conservative Party will take back control and consign these dangerous libertarians to history.
