British Consul To North Carolina Talks BREXIT, Terrorism, UK - NC Economic Ties

Last week, British Prime Minister Theresa May formally launched Britain's departure from the European Union.  The official pronouncement brings a fresh note of certainty for the British people, be they for or against the move known as BREXIT. 

"Yes, it is a psychological moment," says Jeremy Pilmore-Bedford, the British Consulate -General for the southeastern U.S., including North Carolina. "BREXIT will now happen - the process has begun, there is no way back."

During a recent visit to the WFAE studios, Pilmore-Bedford spoke with WFAE's Mark Rumsey about Britain leaving the European Union, and other issues.

Mark Rumsey grew up in Kansas and got his first radio job at age 17 in the town of Abilene, where he announced easy-listening music played from vinyl record albums.
