Salute Thereisa May

[Gromit]

Parliament Labour and Tory were predominantly Remainers, but the voting public said they wanted to leave the EU.
May has somehow managed to agree a deal to leave, and managed not to ruin the country.
She is a genius.
Or a traitor.

Gromit is going for joke of the week, nay decade.

She hasn’t managed to ‘not to ruin the country’ she has managed to ignore the electorate, make the UK a laughing stock throughout the world, given way on just about every single area we could have grown as a country and grown economically, she has lied to the electorate, she has capitulated to the power in Europe, she has allowed herself and the government be bullied by unelected drunken unnacountable officials.

In what way has she done any good?

[cassa333]

Oh and she has single handed lay ruined the country.

[Baldric]

It's Theresa.

[Old_Geezer]

She's managed a deal to leave alongside the one she's pushing to tie us in even more ???? She ought to be pushing this newly discovered leave one then and drop the other !

[Hopkirk]

She can't win

[jim360]

But apart from all that, surely she deserves plaudits for a great job, eh, cassa? :P

[Jackdaw33]

Traitorous hag is nearer the mark.

Time will tell!

[cassa333]

Lol Jim.

[sivam]

traitorous hag remarks. Vile comments.

[Theland]

Poor Theresa. No friends and worked so hard.
But she has failed miserably.

She must be a tough woman.

I think our Tess has decided on a single (some might say "minimalist") defintion of "leaving": we withdraw from all the EU institutions.

She has swapped a system of fiscal and juridical regulation with representation of a sort for one the same system without the representation. Didn't that sipp the colonials off in 1775?

[vetuste_ennemi]

...for the sameregulatory system.. but without...

[Canary42]

Approx half those voting wanted in, half wanted out. To come up with a solution that is half in half out is a triumph for democracy (and flies in the face of the autocracy which is the quitters preferred interpretation of democracy).

//She must be a tough woman//

She has an outstanding moral virtue. Under extreme pressure she will fight her own corner to preserve her power in the local patch.

That's courage of a sort. If only the same courage could be deployed to fight for Britain's interests abroad rather than May's interests at home. The missing virtues are honesty and integrity.

[Theland]

Have to agree V.

[vetuste_ennemi]

(Another normal day on AB. Still hasn't arranged the lego bits of its brain into a coherent structure. Hey, Peter....)

[vetuste_ennemi]

Ah, good evening, Theland.

Last post wasn't addressed to you.

[Spicerack]

Yes, between April and June.

[Theland]

I just hope we don't throw away this once in a lifetime opportunity to shed the shackles.
