ISTM that the team she has put in place will not accept this.

The EU really has its head in the sand over this. It really does seem
to think that we will roll over and ask to have our tummy tickled. The
sooner it gets to understand that we wont, the better it will be for
everyone (UK/EU/ROW). It really does need to offer sensible
concessions on FoM or I think that our negotiators really will walk
away.


In which case it's "hello WTO". Is that what you want?


The British sense of imperial entitlement in the Leave campaign was as
breathtaking as it is totally unrealistic.


I challenge you to come back here in 10 year's time and see if you can still
say that

The situation has become intolerable for a large percentage of the
population.


What situation?


As they have no idea of reality


Who has no idea of reality?

For most people their day to day life is realty.

They don't care if voting out harms the "city", it isn't their world and
they see no connection with it. There is no trickle down to them (as is
claimed). All they see is a bunch of over paid ponces taking an unfair share
of the cake. As Gove said in his leadership campaign speech (something
like) "the rich have taken far too much of the EU wealth", he sees it (and I
think so does May).

If the "rich" and the city twerps who are now going to be harmed by leaving
wanted to avoid that possibility they should have damned well made sure that
the wealth was better spread out in the past in order not to find themselves
in the position that they now do. But oh no, the greedy buggers just kept
it to themselves, demanded that we do what was in their interest, and then
complain and insult us because we didn't obey them.

As a LD I am really surprised at you can't see that is why it happened that
way (even if do you have genuine "Liberal" reasons for wanting to stay in)

it is hard to get that.


It's hard to get what?

People are blaming
the other, as ever in history, for the crimes of their own government.


So government should have solved the problem then shouldn't it?

None of the three parties of power over the past 20 years are innocent here

They all conspired in the "keep the bosses happy, **** on the workers"
roadmap
