      I’ve actually come to hate Theresa May’s face. That weird little grimace/smile she always has plastered on it looks so condescending and it’s started to infuriate me. Despite Bercows announcement yesterday, she is blithely continuing planning having her third vote for a dead deal, presumably removing hundreds of years on political governing convention in the process to suit herself and getting this allegedly horrible deal through. She’s nothing but a blinkered fool in my eyes.

      I fully understand your frustrations Loofah.At the end of the day I feel she just hasn't had the clout nor the backing from her 'Brexiteers' who soon cut and run when the going go tough,even BOJO is sneaking in through the back door so as not to get noticed:rolleyespink:..

      I've come to the point where as long as the sun keeps shining and my Beefmasters come good I couldn't give a flying fig what happens..
      Having said that I'm still up for NO DEAL.:biggrin:

        Well, who else can anyone suggest??? There are lots of would be pm’s but not right now....not until brexit is done n dusted :noidea: Easy to knock Theresa May.....and how can anyone actually “hate” her? No grudging admiration for her resolve, determination or courage??? What other pm has had such a no win responsibility in modern times?
        Brexit was always going to be a poisoned chalice.....why else did David Cameron chicken out?

            So are you suggesting that we say ballcocks to international law?

            I'm with you. Frankly I feel ashamed to be British now.

              For a while, I had a feeling that he was going to do the 'ride in on a white horse and be the knight in shining armour' to take over as PM once Theresa was exhausted. He has a lot to answer for.

                I just feel ashamed of the British parliament, and the British system of democracy, I 've said the system we have is not democratic for years.

                But I'm not ashamed to be British, its not my fault we have such an outdated system run by a load of old fogies that dont know their Rs from their elbow.:frown:

                  I'm convinced David Cameron did all this purposely as he knew he was on his way out so to try to save face he walked before he was pushed..
                  Told you I was a cynic :biggrin:

                    No, Cameron never thought he'd lose the referendum.
                    It came as a shock, so he dodged it.
                    Will probably go down as the worst PM since Ted Heath IMO
                    Closely followed by toxic Tony.

                      I agree to a point Pete but I'm convinced he wanted to come out of this as a 'Hero' as if he cared for the people but some of us could see through it.

                          Theres plenty to be suggested but no-one in their right mind would take this shitshow on right now u less it was to come in, curtail all discussion and announce were leaving immediately.
                          I have no admiration for someone who consistently fails to recognise their limitations, is unable to adapt or change plan willingly and is too pig headed to pass the mantle when proven to be out of their depth. It's pure stubbornness. She took the job on willingly and knew it was a poison chalice so no I don't give any credit there either.
                          She knows she's on the way out and seems hell bent on making the country suffer first. Hate might have been the wrong word but it's certainly a deep feeling if dislike!

                          I'm sorry @Loofah but she's worked damned hard to have it thrown back in her face by mindless mp's who should know better.
