The lying ********s they are when it comes to casting their vote this evening. Put this daft cow out of her misery.
The lying ********s they are when it comes to casting their vote this evening. Put this daft cow out of her misery.
The current (for now) PM was handed an overflowing bucket of shít by Cameron and every single other MP, of any persuasion, has used that bucket of Brexit shít for personal and party political gain.
In short, they are all massive ****s.
Brexit will not happen. mark my words...
She's been very unlucky and treated very badly by all sides but there is no option now but to change leaders. The new leader will charge in claiming to have all the solutions and shortly find themselves in the exact same situation that May is in.
And at that point it will come down to figuring out a way to Remain or getting on with no deal. Personally, I'd like to see parliament vote on that. Make them all put their b0llocks on the line and let their constituents know where they stand so they can't weasel out of any responsibility. They either reject the result of the vote or man/woman/trans up and make the best of no deal and live with the consequences.
It's the cretins like Boris who sit on the fence proposing things that can't work and criticizing everyone and everything that wind me up.
She wasn't 'handed' anything. She asked for and got what she wanted. She has handled these negotiations with breathtaking incompetence and has damn near broken the Tory party in the process. I hope she dies painfully.
And I don't see any realistic mechanism whereby Brexit doesn't happen in whatever form.
She is 1/8 to win and 5/1 to lose in the Vote if No Confidence market.
I simply don’t believe that reversing Brexit is politically feasible. If you think what we have now is chaos, an open attempt by the establishment to overturn the largest democratic exercise in British history will be infinitely worse. Knicker-wetting little queers like Rich who simper girlishly about how ‘damaging’ Brexit is will need a whole new word to define the damage not implementing Brexit will do.
It wasn’t even a fair vote.
Loads of foreigners were allowed to vote because they hailed from commonwealth countries (2-3 million maybe more).
My ex boss is a Kiwi and he applied and was given a vote. What a joke.
If you scrub those votes it’s even more of win for the Leave camp.
She ought to have begun by preparing properly for no deal from the very start. By ruling it out, she gave the EU no incentive whatsoever to negotiate rather than simply dictating terms.
She ought never to have set out any red lines - least of all over Ireland. This simply told the enemy what her vulnerabilities were and they’ve used them ruthlessly to nail us to the ground.
Most importantly, however, she ought to have picked a side - naturally the side that won. The attempt to negotiate a deal that satisfies all over a binary issue was utterly doomed from the start and has simply given traitorous remainer scum encouragement to undermine our negotiating position.
She is, in short, a cùnt.
Yes, but consider the demographic of those who voted leave and would be outraged by a reversal of Brexit; a large number of them are middle-aged and many of them middle-class. I can imagine some protest marches and Farage spitting feathers on TV, but talk of civil war is hyperbolic. The TV and print media, led by Our BBC, will simply sweep it all under the carpet and after a brief period of mild aggravation, we'll all move on.
Democracy will have been betrayed, but whaddya gonna do?
It was hardly May that ruled out no deal - it was most of Parliament. Not to mention the governor of the B of E and an endless array of business leaders. There was never any chance that the EU wouldn't see through the no deal threat, had she gone in and said 'we're prepared for no deal' the would have said 'go ahead then'. And regardless of her red lines the EU was never going to let Ireland be hammered - as they have said clearly, without a backstop there is no deal.
Nothing you have said makes any clear argument for us getting a deal any different than we have now had we negotiated differently. I have yet to hear anyone come up with one, not Rees-Mogg, not Boris, no one. And when they get pushed on how impossible our negotiating position is they inevitably admit that the only realistic alternative is no deal.
She was in an impossible position and we'll end up where we were always going to end up; Remain or no deal. There was nothing anyone could have done to prevent that. BTW, I consider the Norway option to be Remain, because it really is.
Mine was possessed of a, shall we say, powerful personality. Very much the matriarch, she was.
When I was young all my mates were terrified of her, but when they had a problem they'd come creeping round asking for advice. Even my mate with the genital warts. :hehe:
What the fùck has it got to do with the Governor of the Bank of England or business leaders, ffs?
Your thick-headed failure to grasp that BREXIT IS NOT ABOUT BUSINESS makes you wholly unqualified to have this discussion and you ought probably to stop trying until such time as you can hammer that simple idea into your bonce.
Before she started ‘negotiating’, she removed everything the EU feared - a hard border in Ireland; no £39 billion; no deal; kicking out EU citizens - from her arsenal. As a result, they’ve fùcked her arsewise - because she’d thrown away all our strongest cards. By any conceivable standards that is písspoor negotiation. The ONLY way you get anything from the EU is by playing hardball and brinkmanship. She ante’d up and folded before anyone has even bet.
Oh she was that sort of lady. She was an expert in absolutely every matter under the sun. She had trained as a nurse during the war so I suppose she had some basic medical knowledge, but I don't imagine her advice extended much further than, 'Go to see your doctor'.
Some people just need to hear common sense spoken, don't they? And she was famed for her common sense.
From the BBC
So far, 174 Tory MPs have publicly said they will vote for her - although the ballot will be secret.

.....
Took a bit of the 7/1 for her to lose.
Brexit is not about business :clap: :clap:
You artsies really are f*cking thick and out of touch with reality. That's probably the funniest thing I've read on the subject, well it would be if it wasn't so tragically stupid.
And even if you choose to ignore the practical implications of Brexit, the point that you massively missed as your head was stuck up your arse, is that the EU very much would have been listening to the governor of the B of E and all those business leaders and would have been very aware of the pressure that was putting on May and that would have impacted their attitude during negotiations.
I would have thought that was blindingly obvious to most people. Possibly not you.
No. It’s not - and never was. It affects business, but it is not about business. It is about ideas like nationhood, pride, self-determination, political sovereignty, representation and what it means to be a democracy.
These ideas lead some people to have these things called principles. Sadly, you simply don’t have any of these because you are a man with little if any intellectual or emotional depth and cannot conceive that some people might think think that principles matter more than money because all you can ever see are numbers.
It’s a disability, really. You assume everyone thinks like you because you lack the empathy or intellectual range to understand that not everyone is wired like you. You’re like a man who’s been blind since birth who therefore assumes the whole world is black. You are quite unable to think beyond your tiny, narrow little worldview.
200 to 117 to stay
I agree that is what it means to you. However, the vast majority of those that voted leave did so because they didn't like foreign (EU and non-EU) folk claiming benefits, want to earn more money, want more job opportunities etc.
The reality, at least with the final two points, is that people would be worse off. Ultimately, people care about their own quality of life and in the short to medium term, there is absolutely no doubt that they will be better off in the EU (or with May's compromise/semi-Brexit).
