Donald tusk, the European Council president is at downing street for talks with theresa may. He said he welcomed a new constructive and realistic tone from the British Government saying he thought the uk had abandoned the idea of having its breadstick cake and eating it. This is what he had to say. I feel cautiously optimistic about. The constructive and more realistic tone in the Prime Ministers speech in florence and of our discussion today. This shows that the philosophy of having a cake and eating it, is finally coming at an end. At least, i hope so. And so that is good news. Of course, no one will ever tell me that brexit is a good thing, because as i have always said, in fact, brexit is about damage control
School . Playing on their bike . I was climbing trees and building tree houses at eight years old, what about hockey, will we bring in rubber sticks . There has to be common sense.
