It is not over anywhere to us, we are in it and it is not, as she points out a matter of foreign policy. It is our national policy, our nation is the EU not the UK, the UK is now a region not a country. The first thing I read on my passport is European Union and passports are for nations, not the cosy centres of co-operation and free trade which voters were conned into believing the EU (Common Market) would be.

It is also inappropriate for journalists reporting on political matters in our federal institutions to be called foreign correspondents. They are just correspondents and journalists working in Westminster are local or regional journalists.
