Or, if you prefer.
#TheresaMay: "I wanna break up because I hate you"
EU: "If that's what you want"

The PM was keen to play up the nation’s “internationalist” past.
"We're always a country that has looked beyond its borders" — Theresa May's euphemism for 400 years of imperial conquest.

"our history and culture is profoundly internationalist"
