jean-claude juncker has said britain cannot expect to get out of this better than it was before as a eu. how do you read that? >> he is right. if you have an organization like the european union which bestows huge trade and other privileges on its members, if you can't unilaterally terror up your membership card, leave the club, and then expect to come around through the backdoor in order to use the facilities as you choose and as you wish as if you never left in the first place. problem on the british side, and i regret having to say this, is that i think they don't realize what membership in the european union really entails, in particular, they don't understand what the rules of the single market are. mrs. may and the british government could have taken a different approach in the beginning. they could either go from a clean break and walk away from the whole of the european union, or find a way to remain and retain a close partnership with the european union. would meanatter leaving the european union, but staying in the single market, and that was an option open to the british g
