Dear Drummond
Congratulations with completing your 86th lap around the sun. That is an achievement and worth our congratulations. I hope that you receive this mail in good health.
Are you following Great Britain’s current, frantic attempts to leave the EU? According to the current prime minister, the 2016 referendum, in which 52 percent of voters opted for Brexit, constitutes a mandate to leave the EU.
However, it has never been analyzed how many voters voted against the austerity policies of the Cameron/Osborn government by voting for Brexit. The mandate may be fictitious.
Be that as it may, a 'No-Deal' leaving from the EU is coming. Federation Great Britain breaks the special relationship with the "in statu nascendi" federation of the EU. And so, this fine relationship comes to an end.
Great Britain is leaving a free-trade arrangement within the EU, comprising 500 million consumers, to replace it with a special relationship with the US, which encompasses 300 million consumers. According to Farage and B. Johnson, this will net the treasury 350 million pounds every week. I have yet to read about any benefits of EU membership. Surely, there cannot be only disadvantages?
During a visit to mother Bertie in 's-Heer Hendrikskinderen in 2013, she gave me the book "The King in Love," which explores the love life of Edward VII. The book belonged to my father, his "ex libris" can be found on the flyleaf. It wasn't until last month that I finally read it. I won't go into detail here about his exuberant womanizing—both during his long period without an official role and throughout his brief reign—but I have included a quote for you regarding "imperialism." Imperialism is not an ultimate goal worth pursuing.
Drummond, we hope the coming year brings you many wonderful moments. We often look back fondly on the good old days we spent together. With much love, Vera and Adriaan.
