#MargaretThatcher said of #NAFTA the only thing wrong with it was the "A" was "American" not "Atlantic". #English pundits at the launching of the "#EuroMess" spoke of cultivating the #Anglosphere & lamented that US #immigration undermined the "#SpecialRelationship". I suspect there was this same spirit of #Empire at play in #BREXIT, an expectation that former #colonies would fill the void left by their abandoned neighbors. When 🇬🇧 bickers with Europe, 🇺🇲 has a history of stepping in.
