    Wishing her unlimited wisdom, patience, infinite sensitivity as she works GB through the mess it is now in. The repercussions for relations with NATO, international trade, the standing in the UN etc are mind-boggling as the way forward is fresh and new. They cannot go back to the past.

    Different ways of interpreting the same info create miscommunication.

    I simply meant that past history cannot serve to guide the way forward creating new challenges for any leader reinforcing the statement I made immediately before of wishing her well.
