There are just three nations that Britain can truly trust. The US is not one of them

We must form a solid alliance with the three nations we can actually trust. And it would be a huge vote winner for the PM

After Brexit, I'm not so sure the problem is who can Britain trust, but rather who can trust Britain.
- It may be worth noting that this is in The Telegraph, occasionally referred to as "The Torygraph", a nickname earned for being the slightly less rabid, but still very much right-leaning newspaper. "Tory" being used in the pejorative sense.
  
  In that newspaper, the thought of the UK being untrustworthy or that Brexit was a bad idea must be carefully skirted at all costs. Then again, that seems to be government policy no matter who the government is these days.
- Lol, they only trust what used to be their colonies.
  
  Their colonies is a much longer list with a lot of nations with good reason to hate them. These are the ones where the colonizers maintained majorities over the indigenous peoples. They never even rejected the monarchy.

It's Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
- Crazy that none of them is from Europe.
  
  Because it's the Torygraph and they are a bunch of Brexit arseholes.
  
  It's because all three are part of the Commonwealth.
  
  Well, that arricle seems to be from 1939.

- Good thing they didn't say Fr*nce!
- Poor New Zealand always being ignored.
The 3 countries:

England

Scotland

Wales
- There’s no way England made that list.
- Fuck northern Ireland apparently.

  You can get a pretty nice nest in exchange for a few good rocks.
CANZUK when?

  I like the idea of closer ties with Canada and the UK, we already have very close ties with Aus.
  
  As a Canadian, free migration, even just to live in NZ for a couple years, sounds like a dream.
Britain doesn't even trust Britons.
