Am I alone in thinking that Brexit should be put on ice until the government can decide what it wanta? The Brexit referendum was said to have unified the Conservative Party, but just 12 months later and the party is split. Finance minister Philip Hammond wants Britain to remain in the Customs Union, foreign secretary Boris Johnson wants Britain to walk away if there is no deal and Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, believes that Britain should remain in the single market and concentrate on jobs not immigration. Prime minister Theresa was initially said to favour a hard Brexit. And finally...the Ulster Unionists want a soft Brexit with an open border with the south.

Jason is obsessed with Brexit. We can read all sorts of different opinions on that subject in the British national papers (if we want to, that is). The MDB is supposed to be "for English-speaking residents in Mallorca" (which, incidentally, does not mean only British people). The editorials should be about local matters but I suspect that he is really only writing for all the British tourists who buy the paper version at this time of year, not for the rest of us who live here.
The Czechs are threatening to leave as well. The EU, as it currently stands, won't last for more than 8 years at most, which will be when an Islamic party becomes the key holder to power between the rest of the traditional parties. It's happening in London already.
Thank you for yet another scintillating editorial on matters Mallorca!!!!
