THE DURAN – British Prime Minister Theresa May blundered badly in putting the Hinkley Point nuclear reactor project on hold, underestimating the reaction from China, has now been made obvious by the handwritten letter she has sent to the leadership in Beijing assuring China of Britain’s continued commitment to maintaining good relations.
British Prime Ministers do not grovel they merely step back so as to get a broader view.
Well there was one who went cap-in-hand for a loan without reading up on Brit/Chinese history.
He was, in political jargon, soundly rebuffed.
I hope, too, the handwritten letter mentioned that the British populace are not overly enthusiastic.
If the Chinese continue to be huffy, we should remind them this is an island with no-one more than 70 miles from the sea. There are sources of power which do not commit the population to a risk of emitting a dull glow after dark.
Do I hear an expression of interest for the SEVERN BARRAGE?
