And so haven't many mp's. But at least they have political reasons for their denial and ignorance.

JB May is no use at all, she just happens to have been elected as leader and tasked with presenting the results of the negotiations.

I gave her the benifit of the doubt to begin with but now think she is a stubborn woman unable to realise she didn't have the capabilities to deliver what is required for the UK.

This is from the Spectator last November...
''The top 40 horrors lurking in the small print of Theresa May’s Brexit deal ''

Apparently May is holding 'private discussions' about holding a second referendum, however, it will take time to arrange and the EU elections should have already taken place in which a massive majority for the Brexit party should concentrate minds here and in the EU.
We have got until October when the article 50 extension ends to ditch May, replace her with a pro leave Tory leader and tell the EU what is acceptable to us or we just leave .
Personally, I feel that that was the intention all along - have a deal that is so unacceptable to all sides that the only way out of the impasse is a `people's` vote - the usual EU tactic when they can't get their own way.

I completely agree.
I, too, thought at first that she would do the job and do it well.

It didn't take long before I had my doubts and soon afterwards it became clear to me that she was in the wrong job.

It seems to me that the longer she has remained in post, the worse she has become.

I have asked before that you do not quote my posts, if you do you will be ignored. I have nothing to discuss with 'Remain voters' who are not long-standing members taking part in the site as a whole but who seemingly joined the site to post in one section in order to argue ad nauseam because they are unable to accept that the referendum was won by those who voted to leave the EU.

Meg, I do not quote your posts to enter into a discussion with you. Clearly that is useless. I react to refute the (un)intentional faulty statements. Not for your benefit but for other readers.
You can always use the ignore function if you can't handle criticism.

Re: A Stitch Up.

I don't know why these members are even part of our forum. They are more suited to a specialist politics forum surely? They don't take part in any other areas.
