A journalist who has been camped out on the green outside the Houses of Parliament said that the strangest thing about the rejection of Theresa May's deal by the 'meaningful vote' was that both pro Brexit and anti Brexit campaigners were celebrating as if they had both scored a massive victory.
In one way they both had - the leavers for stopping a deal which was claimed to be the only one available because May deliberately let the E.U. bully her knowing that it would never be acceptable and would leave everyone in a similar position to being full members, but worse off on every level, and the remainers for being that much closer to a second referendum.
In fact, everyone will lose in the long run no matter what happens.
I started to feel that May was betraying everybody when she kept pushing on when the so called Chequers Agreement, the deal just voted on, was rejected by her own Cabinet and yet she went on with it after resignation after resignation. I think she has an agenda that we will not leave the EU.
ReplyDeleteYou could well be right. I cannot understand why she refused to allow any debate on the matter up until now. She can't be that useless, running the risk of destroying her own party. The only reason that she narrowly won the vote of confidence was because of Corbyn. What a legacy she will leave.
DeleteIn my mind your situation and ours are identical; Trump being more shallow than May, but nothing else. We both have become 3rd world countries, our resources stifled, our abilities wasted.
DeleteThis is the problem of a 'remainer' pretending to be a 'Brexiteer'. It just don't work!
ReplyDeleteTalk about fear-mongering. She has been doing little else since Chequers. A crash out of Europe for her is a self-fulfilling prophecy - sign or we all get it in the neck. This is politics at its lowest level. Holding the country to ransom for the sake of her own career. Both the leaders are doing it as Britain goes down the toilet.
DeleteI am utterly confused by Mrs May's lack of acumen and political behaviour. Does she not see the extraordinary amount of businesses that are relocating to EU countries, including one that belongs to Rees Mogg that he has set up in Dublin.
ReplyDeleteShe's too preoccupied with her own reputation to notice.
