Theresa May

[user1497997754]

I can't help feeling sorry for her....she must be feeling so alone and was very upset yesterday with having to state she will leave as our PM in June. She has worked so hard to deliver on Brexit and it looks like she won't be able to do this. I know she is not popular and not liked but even so you have to admire her tenacity in trying. I just feel she has been bullied and that is not nice. I personally wish her well and am grateful for all her efforts in trying to resolve this awful situation and I hope that when she leaves she can ignore all the nastiness that will follow.

Hostile environment, citizens of nowhere. Zero sympathy from me. She knew brexit was disastrous, she was a remainer. Strong leaders take control. She didn’t. Utter failure.

How could anyone have known Brexit was going to be disastrous.....we have never attempted Brexit before....

{How could anyone have known Brexit was going to be disastrous}

Pretty obvious if you spare a few minutes to think about it, make a couple of 'fag packet' calculations and then set about it by insulting all the countries you want to trade with.
Add in some lies and hide your actions with NDOs and there you have it.

I have no sympathy for her. She has caused misery for so many, even before she became PM. Vile, pig-headed woman. I’m only sad to see her go because we’re likely to get someone even worse as a replacement.

I wonder if anyone who posts on here could have done her job.....I seriously doubt it

It was fairly obvious that leaving the biggest and most prosperous trading block in the world as well as tearing up 40 years of cooperation was going to be, er, problematic.

And no not pretty obvious......no one knew what it was going to entail.....

Teresa, is that you ?

Yeah I could do her job. I can show empathy. A Christian value I believe.

At least 16million who voted Remain knew it would be a disaster.
Everyone who watched Prof Michael Dougan’s you tube videos about it.

My personal opinion is that May has a religious obsession with Brexit now, that she’s been appointed by her god to see it through.
She deserves no sympathy at all, the worst prime minister in living history!

We knew what we voted for...is the battle cry of the Brexiteer.

She’s a control freak who has done nothing but kick the can down the road time after time after time. Decisions only made at the very last possible moment. Uncertainty lingering and lingering and lingering.
She could have said from the start that the country was almost split down the middle, so let’s work cross party to find the best compromise for the whole country. But she didn’t, she went for the hardest, most extreme version she could - only stopping short of no deal when it was firmly rejected by the HoC.
She deserves no sympathy at all.

Don’t feel any sympathy for her or her party. Worry we will end up with a nut job like Johnston or Rees-Mogg who both make Trump look reasonable.

They brought this shit show let them sort the fucking mess out. And hopefully by not dropping us in a bigger pile of mess.

On the plus side looking forward to chlorinated chicken and a privatised NHS.

No sympathy at all. She's a cruel, sly, dictator caught in a web of her own making.

It is a near impossible job. That's why all the other candidates backed off and left it to her.

That doesn't mean she deserves sympathy. She did a hard job very badly, zero attempt to create consensus, or scope out what kind of brexit might be achievable. Terrible judgment in calling an election. Terrible principles in bunging £1bn to DUP bigots who didn't even vote with her in the end.

She'd already shown her colours in hostile environment. She insisted on interpreting the vote as being again freedom of movement which rules out a customs union that would probably have passed by now. She's a racist small minded woman without the leadership skills for the job.

And yes, it was 100% predictable that brexit would turn out to be this horrible mess. Eurosceptics had been united for decades in wanting to leave but there was no agreement or plan on what leaving would look like. They just threw a grenade and legged it.

I blame the Leavers....they voted for something that was unachievable....the remainders were intelligent enough to see this....I hope Brexit is disbanded and we stay in the EU that is the best deal and always was

HoustonBess pretty much nails it.
The EU are (or at least were) our friends and colleagues. IF following the referendum the UK negotiators had gone to Brussels with a plan and said we would like to leave they would have been disappointed but helped. Although it may not appear so, but the EU is about people and raising the quality of life for all in the EU, above naked 'profit'. Of course it is difficult to 'enforce' niceness especially at a world level where there are some who are wishing to harm you.
Theresa SHOULD have prepared proper financial projections BEFORE signing A50 and put the findings to the UK electorate, or at least the HoC. As is being proven, the unicorns that were promised don't exist so 'leaving' will have serious implications, and all of them detract from the possibility of improving the UK.

I blame the Leave campaigners rather than voters.

Funny how Leavers always get blamed, as opposed to the Conservative party who set this whole mess in motion in the first place in what was basically just a cynical ploy to grab power for themselves. I don't recall anyone holding a gun to David Cameron's head saying we had to have a vote on this subject

May stepped up to this job of her own free will. A very, very difficult job to take on and I don't think she was suited for it, certainly not for negotiating, and her choices of Brexit staff/some cabinet let her down as well. I did have some sympathy for her at first, until she began bringing back the WA over and over, and not listening to any advice. I won't be sorry to see her go.

{Funny how Leavers always get blamed,}
NO, the leave voters ARE responsible. They had every opportunity to think and say (by not voting to leave) that Brexit is a stupid idea.
If you voted leave, you are instrumental in this mess.

If Cameron had called a referendum suggesting everyone in the UK flies to the moon, he would have been told to '* off'.

{I did have some sympathy for her at first, until she began bringing back the WA over and over, and not listening to any advice.}

The WA is a requirement by the EU as it is the legal process by which the UK leaves. Theresa understands it HAS to be signed. Cabinet and HoC are deliberately lying to the UK electorate if they say that it does not need to be signed AS IT STANDS. Theresa HAD an opportunity over 2 years to influence it's wording, but 'blew it' by sending incompetent 'Brexit secretaries'.

It was a poisoned chalice but her strategy of kicking the can is absurd and has been hugely damaging. She's put party above country and it's totally backfired. I actually massively disrespect her tenacity as her failure to resign when she has clearly lost her leadership is prolonging the agony. I find it enraging that her zombie deal is coming back for a fourth time. So yeah 0/10

If I say that we will all die, it is true. Not liking the idea does not stop it being true.
In a similar way, the WA WILL be signed if the UK is leaving.
