British Prime Minister Makes Brexit Worse
Read Time:5 Minute, 8 Second
British Prime Minister, Theresa May, or, as she is increasingly being called (by me at any rate), Theresa Mayhem, has just metaphorically picked up a hammer and a few nails and started nailing closed the coffin lid on what has long been referred to as ‘British democracy.’
May’s latest outburst is so reminiscent of Thatchers ‘We are a grandmother’ back in 1989, at least in terms of a sanity question mark, I am starting to wonder whether there is a form of political ‘mad cow’ disease and she’s got a terminal dose.
Theresa May stated well over a hundred times that the United Kingdom would be leaving the European Union on March 29th, 2019.
Whether you think this is a good or bad idea is immaterial. Mayhem stated the leaving date over a hundred times in parliament.
We are now leaving at the end of June (probably /possibly: delete as applicable). Excuse me? Now look Theresa, I know I’m getting on a bit, but even my somewhat reduced mental capacity knows that the end of June is not March 29th.
I may not be able to quite remember what I was doing a week last Tuesday, or what I had for breakfast a fortnight last Thursday – probably cereal and toast as it happens, but I might have had a bacon sandwich – but even I can remember you stating quite clearly that we were leaving the EU on the 29th March, 2019.
You said it over a hundred times for God’s (or the deity of your choice) sake! Even my increasingly aged mental faculties can remember something stated over a hundred times. You are, quite clearly, a sandwich short of a picnic.
Well, I hope you are. You see Mrs Mayhem, if you aren’t mentally out to lunch, then you are, inadvertently I hope and pray, getting very close to inciting civil unrest.
A significant number of the so called ‘Remainers’, of which Mrs Mayhem was one (and, indeed, so was I albeit somewhat reluctantly), have for the last couple of years been calling those who voted to leave ‘stupid and ignorant’.
I can’t actually recall any ‘Remainers’ being so precise I admit, but the constant barrage of ‘people didn’t know what they were voting for’ and ‘ people didn’t realize we would have to leave the single market’ and ‘leave voters were lied to’ has long been translated by an increasing number of ‘leave’ voters as, ‘you are all as stupid as a single cell amoeba that has lost it’s single cell’.
Mrs Mayhem came back from the EU with a deal.
I’ve tried to read it all and can, without equivocation, recommend it for insomnia. It isn’t very good on the whole.
That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone really should it? Was there ever any likelihood of the EU saying ‘no problem Britain, here’s a fantastic deal for you to leave with. Don’t worry about it. We are quite happy to make it well worth your while to leave. Bon voyage!’
I mean to say. A ‘good’ deal? An ‘averagely fair to middling deal’? Come on. Wake up at the back.
Now, after insisting that we leave on March 29th, 2019, Mrs Mayhem has announced that there will be short delay.
Rather like the train companies who announce a short delay due to a few flakes of snow falling, or the wrong kind of leaves on the line, Mrs Mayhem apologizes for the short delay, but it is due to everyone else not voting for her deal.
It isn’t her fault that nobody likes her deal. It’s entirely everybody elses fault that we can’t leave as scheduled.
As I recall, and correct me if I am wrong, the referendum in 2016 asked the following :
Leave? Remain?
That’s all it asked.
It didn’t say ‘if you decide to behave like single cell amoeba’s who’ve lost their single cell and vote to leave, we still won’t unless we can leave with a ludicrously bad deal and, don’t forget, those who vote ‘remain’ won’t accept it in a million years so, actually, you might as well vote ‘remain’ anyway. Remember, the establishment is only kindly allowing you, the people, to have a say as long as you say what the establishment want you to’
Now, if the referendum choices had included all of that then, just maybe, Mrs Mayhem might get away with all this bullshit.
Sadly, Mrs Mayhem, the referendum didn’t say any of the above. It asked, quite simply, ‘Leave’ or ‘Remain’ and ‘Leave’ won.
We can’t leave though. Well, not unless Mrs Mayhem’s deal is accepted. She’s said so.
Yes, I know, she said a while back that it was ‘her deal’ or ‘no deal’, but that was a while back. Now she’s saying ‘her deal’ or ‘no Brexit’. She said, over a hundred times, that we are leaving on March 29th. Now she’s saying we are leaving at the end of June.
Well, what a trustworthy creature we have as our Prime Minister eh? How grateful we should be to have such a trustworthy and honest person at the helm of our bewildered nation.
British democracy has never been in such a fragile state. For a number of years, the numbers of people bothering to vote in general elections has been falling. How low can you go?
I know there are a lot of passionate ‘remainers’ out there. Although I voted ‘remain’ I am not among you, at least regarding the passionate desire to remain.
You need to realize, regardless of your passionate desire to remain a part of a corrupt and undemocratic organisation, that your ‘spokesperson’, Theresa Mayhem, is the mouthpiece destroying our democracy.
I haven’t got a crystal ball but, I will be absolutely amazed if there isn’t civil unrest of huge proportions in the very near future in Britain.
If we are very lucky indeed, such an outcome will be the death knell for the establishment rather than for our democracy.
We can but live in hope.
Let’s face it, with Mrs Mayhem at the helm, hope is all we have left, and precious little of that.

As always, there is a power grab. The good of the few over the good of the many. I think there was always an underlying ambition to unite Europe into a super power to compete against the US, Russia and China although I think the whole super power model is an antiquated failure and that we should be looking toward a global unification. But without altruistic leaders, this becomes an impossible dream like Marx’s Utopia. Instead it seems Orwell may have had a more realistic vision in 1984 and Animal Farm.
Commercially being in has been better than out. There are those who argue otherwise but, the EU is a huge trading partner.
On balance… This is only my opinion…. In is better economically than out .
The problem with the EU is its ambition to be the sole government of Europe… Combined with its current corruption.
There is a growing Anti EU sentiment in Europe mainly due to corruption.
Like many things, the EU was a good idea at the time but was badly mismanaged by the establishment.
Even so, leaving is certainly risky.
Worse than the EU corruption though is how its divided the country.
I can’t see any way of uniting the sides anymore.
Me? I voted remain… Unenthusiastic ally…. I figured being a major player in an EU empire was better than looking in from outside.
About the only thing both sides will agree on is… It’s a mess.
So, has being part of the EU been more bad than good? Was there any benefit? What has been the downside? Since I haven’t lived in your economy, I really have no idea but would like to understand it better.
Rockync : The truth is, nobody knows whether Brexit will be good, bad or somewhere in between as its never happened before.
The only thing that is a fact rather than a belief is that we voted to leave.
Everything else is an opinion or a belief whether for or against.
That, old bean, is as clear as it gets.
I’m afraid I don’t really understand much about Brexit because it doesn’t affect me. I know it means the UK is leaving the EU. But what is good or bad about it? What will it impact?
Father of the house – Ken Clarke – believes its the biggest constitutional crisis since the 17th Century.
He’s obviously forgotten Oldham Athletic getting relegated 😂😂😂😂
The whole Brexit thing is the dumbest idea since Donald J. Trump as president of the US. Get out of this crazy Brexit crap while you can, before it’s too late. Oh. And fire T. Mayhem.
