I hope all these Tory MPs coming out and backing May turn into

[Burney]

JRM, Nigel and Carswell at the barricades? Colonel Hardly-Worthit (ret'd) preparing Molotov cocktails?

Can't see it, man.

Very odd idea of the pro-Leave vote you have. Consider Essex.

My dear old chum, as you well know I take it as a matter of principle never to consider Essex.

Seriously. They're not the sort of Essexians to take to the streets.

I’m sure they said the same about Wat Tyler.
Oliver Cromwell was a lowly squire and unremarkable MP - until he wasn’t.

Nobody’s that sort - until they are.

The lying ********s they are when it comes to casting their vote this evening. Put this daft cow out of her misery.

Surely that would make them look like bigger cűnts ? ...is there someone that actually wants to be PM at this point btw? Watching from afar its fascinating stuff

[Burney]

Me too c. And I never really appreciated mine while she was here

The rest of us did, though, h!

[Burney]

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.

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.

Brexit is not about business

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.

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.

What did your sainted ma know of genital warts, for goodness’ sake?

[Sir C]

What did your sainted ma know of genital warts, for goodness’ sake?

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.
