[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 141178, member: 33"] I agree. I don't think any who voted in the referendum voted for the kind of Brexit that Theresa May is proposing. The democratic thing to do would be to go back to the people to decide Yes or No on the final deal. I have no sympathy for Theresa May at all whatsoever. She was part of David Cameron's top team that decided on his disastrous approach to deal with Tory Party divisions by holding a referendum. She is culpable to for the mess we are in. Not only do I not feel sorry for her, I hope she is feeling totally desperate, distressed and depressed by her entire mess she helped create. I say that because maybe she will start to feel how she made hundreds of elderly Windrush people feel who after a lifetime of paying UK tax, Theresa May denied them health care, deported others and made others lose their jobs and homes. Those are the people I feel sorry for not the wicked woman who put them in that position. That simply isn't true. The official Remain campaign was [I]Britain Stronger In Europe[/I] which was headed by Tory supporting businessman Lord Rose. He chose to focus his campaign on David Cameron and George Osborne who embarked on a failed "project fear" approach. Jeremy Corbyn was as part of the [I]Labour In[/I] campaign and he held rallies up and down the country every day delivering a positive message about Europe. The media chose to focus on Cameron and Osborne and so Corbyn efforts were given little media exposure. Corbyn's campaign however was far more successful in that 65% of Labour voters voted remain whereas only 39% of Tory voters did. The failure to persuade people to vote remain lies at the doorstep of the Tories. Incidentally, where was Theresa May during the campaign? I don't recall her giving media interviews or taking part in debates promoting the remain cause. It's only a "poisoned chalice" because Theresa May created unrealistic expectations, over-promising what she would agree and ultimately under-delivering with the final agreement. Theresa May was part of the Tory top team that created the chalice and when she became Prime Minister she was the one that filled it with poison. [/QUOTE]
