how this woman, Theresa May, got the top job is mind boggling - she voted abasing Brexit and then become the leader to push through - Brexit?
Is there one Pom in Merry Ole England with the Balls to tell the EU to go **** themselves and forge the country back to prosperity by shutting the gates on immigrants, enforcing rule of law and making Great Trade Deals with other countries like Donald Trump does?
UK’s Theresa May Loses in Landslide
Theresa May loses Brexit vote in a landslide.
BREXIT VOTE FAILS BY 230 VOTES!
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Oh, it would be just so simple if the Brits walked out of the EU, now wouldn't it?
No, it wouldn't. The EU is the backbone of a great deal of how the British economy operates - it determines custons and quarantine regulations, it determines immigration regulations, it determines fisheries regulations. All regulations that the British Parliament ceded to the EU decades ago. The British parliament needs to make sure such legislation is in place before it leaves the EU or chaos would result.
The British are also required to give a substantial donation to the EU each year. The EU, in order to facilitate the movement of the UK out of the EU is asking for that donation, up front before it allows the UK to depart. Sounds unfair but not really as the EU has a substantial bureaucratic cost involved in doing this.
Finally, I've always understood that the UK was a democracy, indeed that it was the home of modern democracy. The UK's parliament is acting as a democratic parliament should - it has voted on the deal that May has forged with the EU and found it wanting, so they have rejected it. Perhaps instead of merely condemning that vote, you should find out why they rejected it.

On the evening of January 15, 2018 the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Theresa May and her government suffered the largest defeat in Parliament in the history of recent centuries.
The vote was 202 for her Brexit deal and 432 against.
he lost the “meaningful” vote on her Brexit plan by more than 200 votes.
This overwhelming defeat saw all the opposition parties and a large swath of her own Conservative Party line up to defeat a withdrawal from the European Union that took two tedious years to negotiate and failed to deliver on any of her promises.
It betrayed the 17.4 million UK citizens who voted in the June 2016 referendum to LEAVE the EU.
It made a mockery of British sovereignty, borders, and laws and would have handed over almost 40 billion pounds sterling to the EU – for nothing.
May’s leadership has been an abysmal failure.
She was recently censured by Parliament and only narrowly was able to remain as PM after an internal party challenge to remove her.
Leftwing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has immediately said he is now demanding a “no confidence” vote in an attempt to force a general election.
That vote will take place tomorrow.
Boris Johnson, MP and former Foreign Minister before he left the May government over its wrongheaded Brexit plans said, “”We have wrapped a suicide vest around the British constitution — and handed the detonator to [EU Brexit negotiator] Michel Barnier,”
Johnson wrote in a British newspaper. “We have conspired in this threat to the Union. We have put our own heads deliberately on the block.”
May’s soft-Brexit plan would expose U.K. business to “potentially hostile regulation over which we have no control whatever,” according to Johnson. “It means we can’t do any real free trade deals,” he wrote. “It means we are a vassal state.”
Nigel Farage, the ever colorful former UKIP leader and the father of Brexit, called the sabotage instigated by the PM and her Remainer cronies in cahoots with the Speaker of the House of Commons, “the biggest crisis since the English Civil War in the 1640s.”
It is utter chaos.
No one knows what will come next.
Resignation?
An election?
A renegotiation with the EU?
A second referendum?
Postponement or even abandoning Brexit altogether?
A no deal, clean Brexit on March 29th?
Only time will tell – in what are truly unprecedented times.
As I was saying above - MAY voted to STAY in the EU
How in the Hell was she elected to Negotiate Brexit?
Of course she sabotaged it
Boris Johnson may be their only saviour at this point - but he's got to take on May and blast her OUT!!
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Nigel Farage is a wally. He got into the EU Parliament not because he believed in it but as a sinecure. Tut, tut, why do you admit dishonest people, Sprint?
