Can you elaborate upon that statement please?

I'm obviously missing something here. It's probably another translation problem.
There's been a 3 month delay in the decision to go ahead (or not) with the Hinkley nuclear plant project. Vince Cable says that May had earlier security concerns about allowing the Chinese to build such an important installation. How does that translate into something to do with reversing the Out referendum vote? At least, I assume that's what you're implying with the two fingers comment.
i think from now on we have to agree to the fact that we have look at things from a totally different angle ...
"Even supporters of nuclear power now recognise how bad this deal is. It means signing up our future to some of the most expensive electricity we have seen, and handing over £30 billion in subsidies to France and China just isn't a credible economic plan."
Theresa May’s government has made a “bewildering and bonkers” decision to pull back on signing a deal to build Britain’s first new nuclear power station in 20 years, just a day after it was given approval and funding.
French energy firm EDF, 85% owned by the rebublic of france , which is financing most of the £18 billion project at Hinkley Point in Somerset, approved the funding at a board meeting on Thursday, although its board was split.
Contracts were expected to be finalized on Friday but the government shocked the industry by saying it wanted more time to study the details.
Current price is £42 megawatt-hour of electricity, price guaranteed for Hinkley point £92.50. With the price of renew-ables coming down all the time and the expansion of fracking there is no sign of the price ever getting this high.
Gas stations produce more carbon, but what would you rather have a steel industry or a smaller carbon footprint, don't forget this power station will produce 8% of all our energy so this will be a large burden to the UK and all it's citizens.
Your bills are about to be 3 times what they are now or start investing in candles or oil lamps.
It's not just the lights going out, any industry we have left will take flight.
