Ode To. Theresa May
In an effort to express my feelings about current BREXIT chaos, lI have attempted to create a little ditty that will convey these feelings
to you, it is as follows.
ODE. TO. THERESA. MAY. draft. 3
Whatever happened to strong & stable.
Now Theresa's forced no deal off the table.
Whatever happened to will of the people,
And honour result of our referendum
Whatever happened to deliver result
And get a good deal that honours the vote
Whatever happened Theresa my dear?
It all disappeared. Went up in smoke.
Gone forever. It won't come back,
The establishment mounted a mighty assault,
with media help and EU collusion
our dream of freedom, became an illusion
What happened Theresa,l think it's your fault.
We cannot win now. What can we do
and to think all this Theresa, is because of you.
Donkeyman. 2019

Yes, May needs to lose the blinkers, come to her senses and start listening to others. But she's a woman so that won't happen.On the other hand, all these people who are saying they can do a better job haven't come up with a solution have they? Putting it into practice is a completely different ball game and I don't think anybody - either in the government or on this forum - has any real plan to sort this mess out.

This is the thing, Floydy. She took on a job that nobody else wanted. What do they call it now? Poisoned chalice?
Several other 'eminent' politicians ran for the hills.
To give her her due, she stuck with it.
I'm not a Tory voter, but I did admire her staying power through what must have been some really terrible moments.
My feeling was that she was trying to be another Thatcher, and was 'not for turning'. Her style of rhetoric was not good, though, and her speeches smacked of amateur theatricals. However, she did stick to the job, and didn't run away at the first hurdle, unlike others.
Now, though, she must be exhausted, not least partly due to her health (diabetes), so I am not too surprised that she is wilting under the strain.
My feeling is that she tried to make the best out of a very bad job, and I doubt that anyone else would have done better, quite honestly. At least she was prepared to stick her head above the parapet and have a go.
I have heard Remainers accuse her of being pro-Brexit, and Brexiteers accuse her of being pro-Remain.
I suppose that sums up the unenviable position she was willing to have a go at being in.
Quite honestly, I defy anyone to have done any better. If anyone really thinks they could have done better, where were they?
