Brexit failure a catastrophic breach of trust, says May
bbc.com ^ | January 12, 2019 | BBC

A failure to deliver Brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy", Prime Minister Theresa May has warned.

Writing in the Sunday Express, Mrs May pleaded with MPs to back her Brexit deal in Tuesday's crunch Commons vote.

Not doing so risks the UK leaving the EU with no deal or Brexit not happening at all, she said.

Meanwhile, No 10 is said to be alarmed at the prospect of MPs taking control of Brexit if Tuesday's vote is lost.

I’m not sure “It’s a crappy deal but it’s the best we can get” is going to be very convincing, especially when no deal at all is going to happen anyway and it might actually be a better deal. May should have outsourced the negotiations to Trump.

Thanks to the incompetent nitwit politicians who never wanted Brexit in the first place no deal is better than any deal they could come up with. My area of Spain is loaded with British expats who want to remain so they don’t lose their “free stuff”. They have no loyalty to the UK whatsoever, only to whoever offers the most freebies.

Mz May promised "A good deal or no deal" coming in.

We'll take door number two, thank you. No deal means WTO rules and the German and French industrialists will be losing a serious amount of trade with the mandated tariffs. After the UK is free and standing solidly on their own feet the Euros will be crying for a good deal.

May is deeply compromised and a self-admitted non-Brexit PM and doesn't deserve any respect for her malicious backstabbing efforts to hold the UK forever as a non-voting serf controlled by the EU commies.

No Deal is the Best Deal!! Just get it over with!!

For probabaly the first time in recorded history, Theresa 'Sharia' May has said something that I agree with.

Not the first time she’s said it. In fact she’s been saying more or less the same thing ever since she was elected Tory leader and became PM.

It seems you can check into the EU Hotel, but you can’t check out.

The problem with Sellout Queen Teresa May is with her version of Brexit.

“May’s Brexit is not Brexit.”

And the British know it.

I have a question for ya, Theresa. Why do you need the EUs permission for anything? Negotiating with a bunch of bureaucrats elected by unelected bureaucrats is a fool’s errand.

Leave the f*cking EU and make bilateral deals with other European countries and elsewhere and let the Germans and French come along when they’re ready. Seems to be working pretty well for Trump and the US.

No Brexit is also still a possibility at this point, considering the Labor and Remainder Conservatives in Parliament.

But that actually would be better than what May has been trying to get in.

Corporate Government, called the EU, has brought War.

No go zones and mass invasion are the result of the Cheap Labor Chamber of Commerce.

That is America’s future also. Corporate Government via cheap labor BRINGS WAR! When you walk into your Chamber of Commerce across the land, remind them that they ultimately bring war & pestilence, just as socialism too, brings failure.

It is death by the Big State or by Big Business, and EU is proof. So choose your poison. Mandates fail.

It turned out the same was true for the United States. Once the original states joined the Us. And the free Republic of Texas joined they were not allowed to leave. The EU has a precedent in the illegal actions of the US.

Fitting metaphor.

Best bet is to revisit the ‘negotiations’ with the EU.
If you can’t get a respectable deal, you can do what we did...Declare your Independence.

It’s up to the Brits, at this point.

But, it certainly looks like their elected representatives are selling them down the river on this one, so far.

It’s not ‘May’s Brexit’. The deal is what she had to accept if there were to be any deal at all, after a negotiation in which the EU held all the cards. The deal has little if anything to do with what May herself wanted, as she set out n her Somerset House speech.

On the contrary, Brexit is more rather than less likely if Corbyn were PM - he’s always been anti-EU, as have most of the hard left wing of Labour to which he belongs. The hard left has always found a hard Brexit attractive, on the theory that the ensuing chaos would be fertile ground for fundamental social and economic change.
