Grip and Grin
Grip and grin,
May does cling
As power drains away.
Desperate spin
Fighting for her skin –
Should have done it another way.
It’s too late!
She sealed her fate
By joining the wrong crew.
It’s time to go!
We all told her so
As the feelings grew and grew.
You’ve made the dough
For the boys you know –
Not for the many but the few.
You’ve not been great
We’re in a state
Your policies turned the screw.
So Theresa May
You’ve had your day
You’ve done more than enough harm.
Goodbye adieu
Your race is through
Good riddance to your charm.

Well all I can say is there seems to be quite a wide scope of interpretation as to events.
I don’t think some people focus too clearly on the actual facts of the matter behind all the brouhaha. It seems terribly trite to just single out May. Did everyone forget she was a Remainer in the first place? Seems really stupid to me.
But loads of people make donkey’s of themselves when it comes to memory loss in politics. They all too easily go with the loudest voice. Yet we all know the loudest is seldom the smartest. Joe Public never disappoints me. I know he’s an idiot.
Stephanie – she was a Remainer in the beginning but, in order to gain power, threw her hat in with the hard-liners. That was her first major mistake.
Obviously with an event of this magnitude she should have created a cross-party group to form a consensus of the best way of going out. That was her second blunder.
Then she should have got agreement prior to triggering article 50. That was her third stupidity.
Since then she has been trying to hold her party together and cling on to power rather than trying to do what’s best for the country. That was a fourth and fatal stupidity.
The end-game was always obvious.
This Brexit has been run by the far-right nationalists. When she suddenly veered off into a more pragmatic ending they turned on her. Because she has ignored everyone else and not involved them they turned on her.
The stupid woman has only herself to blame. She let power go to her head.
With all due respect it was myself correcting you, remember?
All you have done is to list a process. We are all aware of this process. This process is not under scrutiny or under question.
It is a very simple process of elimination. In fact it is idiot proof. So idiot proof that I believe even Dianne Abbott could have handled some of it.
You talk about 1st and 2nd’s. So what? It’s a process where one thing is done after another. How could that detail escape you? Or were you surprised over the complexities? The only complexities that could arise are those manifested by disagreement. Never do all parties concerned agree unanimously so why do you expect that now. Or have you forgotten the vote at 52 / 48?
Why would Parliamentary activity be much different to the general consensus, when in fact Parliament represents the general consensus in the first place?
Too many, far too many people seem to instantly forget this important detail.
Every detail put in front of her, every move she has to make, every agreement she has to seek, every paragraph that needs checked over, every single detail has been shoved her way by the EU. Nobody else but the EU.
Your points 1 to 4 are naive and inconsiderate to due process.
You can’t make people do something. You can’t make people support something that they don’t want to support. If so, we call that dictatorship. Do we have dictatorship in this country? No, so there’s your answer staring you right slap in the face.
She’s the Prime Minister, not some county council committee convener.
Why would she ever need any cross-party anything? Did you forget that the country didn’t vote the Labour Party into power? That the Labour Party had been decimated and had never ending strife with leadership issues itself. Why would anybody invite any of that?
Everybody with any intelligence understands the limitations. The limitations are governed by the EU. End of story.
It will all be over with in a few weeks anyway then we can all just get back to normal.
Stephanie – with all due respect you did not correct me in any way.
I think you are totally wrong in your conclusions. May was the master and architect of her own disastrous path as I outlined above. The EU were always in the driving seat because they were not the ones instigating it.
She should have known exactly what she wanted before going in and allowing a fool like Davies to dither around with silly threats. A pig’s ear from beginning to end from one of the most incompetent governments – and most extreme – of all time.
