Meanwhile, in the UK, we have Theresa May getting chummy with Trump and desperately mending bridges with Erdogan, because 'we need strong friends' for when we leave the EU.

1) We had strong friends within the EU, but that doesn't matter because the mis-informed populous voted out in a non-legally binding referendum and now May, who claimed to be a remainer, is charging forwards with no regard to what the will of the people might continue to be as the picture grows clearer because 'the people have spoken!'
2) No matter how bad things get, I don't want to live in a country that throws its values away at the first sign of trouble and snuggles up to these guys.
3) Ugh!
