webfact Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Delay in Britain leaving EU is not about me, UK's May says Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May leaves church, as Brexit turmoil continues, in Sonning, Britain, May 5, 2019. REUTERS/Simon Dawson LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday that the delay in Britain leaving the European Union was not an issue related to her leadership. Told by Andrea Jenkyns, a lawmaker from her Conservative Party, that she had failed on Brexit and it was time to let someone new lead the party May responded: "Actually this is not an issue about me". "If it were an issue about me and how I vote, we would already have left the European Union," said May, whose Brexit deal has been rejected three times by parliament.

Classic Brexiteer line that's been posted many times on this forum. Just because they voted to leave the EU doesn't mean that they caused the problem. Yes, right.

Can't help thinking, if she'd really wanted to leave, we'd already be out. Her willingness to 'deal' was always a major block to leaving.

Popular Post JonnyF Posted May 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2019 Of course it's about May. She negotiated the pathetic "deal" that everyone hated and then when it failed to get the numbers she kicked the can down the road. She said over 100 times we'd leave on 29th March. She simply cannot take responsibility for the failure of what she thought was a cunning plan to keep us locked in. It's time to resign and let a Leaver take over as PM, or call a General Election and let the Brexit Party take over. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parliament doesn’t change the wish of the people. Parliament just makes decisions. Not all people like those decisions and might wish differently.

Parliament enacted article 50, meaning we left on 29 March with or without a deal. Parliament subsequently conniving to stop Brexit will fail. They will pay for their duplicity with their seats, and some of them with their careers. This is just another temporary delay which harms the country. Brexit will happen whether it's this year or in 3 years. There is no way back from this, it's gone too far and it must and will happen. Democracy will prevail.

No, it doesn’t mean that you left. Your EU membership is a bilateral agreement in international law. It cannot be terminated or changed unilaterally through UK law. That would totally defeat the purpose of such contract. Quote Parliament subsequently conniving to stop Brexit will fail. Parliament is sovereign. If parliament wants to stop Brexit, I’m afraid it won’t fail. Quote They will pay for their duplicity with their seats, and some of them with their careers. It the electorate wants that, sure.

Actually the issue of NOT Leaving the EU is all about Theresa, assisted by her cabal of Remainer MPs of course. The woman is a damn liar and has repeatedly been shown to be one. She is the one who delayed the start of Article 50. She didn't allow it to run its' two year course and simply Leave at the end, but she went back for extensions. She was the one who came back with a Surrender Treaty instead of a "Goodbye, We'll Miss You" card. She's the one who has tried three times to foist her deal on a skeptical parliament. She is the one who is still trying to stitch us up as a vassal state. She's the one who would have us on BRINO terms - we wouldn't have actually left! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your EU membership is a bilateral agreement in international law. It cannot be terminated or changed unilaterally through UK law. That would totally defeat the purpose of such contract. Totally incorrect. We could have left unilaterally on WTO terms on 29 March. We didn't need the EU's agreement for that, it was already in article 50. Only a deal required the EU's agreement and a deal was absolutely not a prerequisite of leaving. Yes I do believe Brexit will happen. The relationship has soured so badly that there is no choice but to leave. Even the more intelligent Remainers have finally seen how the EU cartel operates and their plans for further integration into a EU superstate complete with a European Army. If article 50 is revoked then the Brexit Party will win by a landslide at the next GE and trigger it again. It would go round in circles and the EU know it. The EU are playing their final hand hoping Parliament agrees to May's treaty. That is the EU's last chance as they'd use it to lock us in via the backstop (which is why they refuse to remove it). Parliament will not agree to that surrender document and we'll leave with no deal, maybe in October, maybe 2020, maybe in 3 years. It will happen. Stamp it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
