Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

Seriously.........all this depressing talk from the oldsters, let us hope what mess we have left can be sorted out by the Corbyn voting younger generation.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

They're the ones who caused it, or at least contributed to it.

Let the buggers sort it themselves when they've grown up and developed some responsibility.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

Mebbe. But at least we'd have a couple of years of respite. Since May has brought Gove back into play, we're all doomed anyway, so we might as well enjoy life while we can and bugger the consequences.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

Why oh why did she listen to Rasputin and his side-kick and call for an election? She was at the top, people liked and respected her, had confidence in her, admired her stance in batting for Britain in the forthcoming negotiations. She had it all in the bag with a majority (albeit a small one). Yes, she had the b.....s coming at her from all sides, The SNP, Libdems, Labour, The EU, The left-wing BBC, Momentum, Gina Millar, The Lords, even the Supreme Court! but she had overcome them all and was well on her way to the negotiating table.

Stupid, stupid woman!! you ruined it all.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

I completely agree. I had visions of a second Margaret Thatcher; a strong woman rather than a collection of wimpy men.

If she hadn't called another GE, I think she'd have had enough support to obtain a good Brexit.

Alternatively, if she'd called a GE but been as 'honest' as Corbyn and promised everyone everything they could have wished for (like he did), I'm sure she could have obtained a bigger majority.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

Unfortunately it was the fact that she appeared so strong that made her call the election. She needed to demonstrate that she was a strong leader and not just a substitute for Cameron.

Her advisers were her biggest error and it was a bit too late to sack them now. Don't forget that Mrs May and many of her cabinet ministers have money and probably wanted to stay in the EU. Losing her majority means she remains PM but she now has a good reason if Brexit turns out to be a disaster. In the last 25-30 years , I have never been able to trust a politician, they are in the job to get what they can for themselves.
Perhaps we should hook them up to a lie detector when they make their speeches.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

We need to find someone with experience in sorting out a mess of this magnitude. That's right there isn't anyone.

Surely we can all clearly see where we are going.

General Election, General Election, General Election, ditto until - The country has voted back in. (possibly because the original out voters get tired of voting).

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

I'm sure Nigel could do the job and get us the best deal.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

How on earth could anyone trust May with negotiating a deal when she couldn't face her the electorate on TV against an apparently lame dog Labour leader ?

That ought to have been easy compared to what she wanted us to trust her with.

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

Hi

Negotiating is totally different to sound bite TV.

The people on the other side of the table are far more astute and far less gullible.
