The whole shambles just about sums up the state of British politics at the moment. Many scream about May being unelected but she was elected by the MP's who, in turn, were elected by millions of the silent Conservative voting majority to represent them. The same silent majority, like me, who voted to leave the EU. Not because I'm a xenophobic racist but because I believe the concept of a united Europe has become unworkable, mainly due to the self-serving EU bureacrats who cost us billions.
Sadly, the "leader" of the opposition is a puppet controlled by those with axes to grind, Lansman, Milne, McDonnell etc. which means he's about as much use as tits on a bull and would serve the country better by returning to the backbenches where he's been (milking the system he claims to hate) for 32yrs. The country voted Leave, the Remainers are unable to accept this. Many stand to make millions by prolonging the agony, the legal profession in particular, indeed it transpires that one of todays judges is responsible for a EU scheme regarding the integration of UK and EU law. Farage, Sturgeon, Adams/McGuinness are all waiting for their big moments and will stir the sh!t as much as possible. The worst part, IMO, is the patronising and supercilious attitudes of the so-called experts, whether in the local pub or on the late night politico TV shows. Worrying about immigration does not make anyone a racist any more than worrying about climate change makes you a bunnyhugger, and wanting out of the EU does not mean you're a paid up member of the EDL.
We voted Leave. It was very, very close so I'm happy to leave it to Parliament to have a deciding vote. What I don't want to see is months and months of procrastination which ends up dragging our country down.

Right, I can't let this pass. Did you seriously invoke the Johnny Foreigner line?

Did you bother to check her citizenship or were you too busy jumping up and down demanding to see Obama's birth certificate?

What she did was use democracy. The very thing you want to wave around in defence of the fact the Brexit vote polled more than the remain. That doesn't make it a win. There is a process to go through. Part of that process is the law.

Just because it's not what you want to hear, does not give you the right to scream about foreign people destroying your democracy.

Ok, I retract that it does. Because it's a democracy, so you can say what you like unless it breaks the law. However, don't be surprised if it paints a very, very poor picture of you when you do

Well that comment paints a portrait of a Remainer all over, judgemental and thinking they are morally & mentally superior in just abaout all ways.

There is nothing won by the Remainer set and we are still continuing to leave.
If MPs try and over rule the public it will lead to an early election called most likely and many of said MP's being kicked out completely in voting seats.
Bigger personal gamble for them as they are the losers, voters wouldn't be.

Yet again you totally miss the point of the original post, it has nothing to do with Johnny Foreigner, but has everything to do with a person who uses our law that was set up in fairness for all, for their own individual endeavour.

She did not use democracy she used the Law a totally different thing altogether.

You have the right to your opinion and I respect that, what you do not have the right to is to scorn someone else’s opinion because it disagrees with your own.

What the hell has Obamas birth certificate got to do with it...
