    Theresa May wasn’t a party leader when we chose to leave the EU.

    David Cameron was the leader of the Conservatives at the time of the referendum, the one who promised the referendum to get votes for his party, the one who greatly underestimated the fight that was needed to be able to stay in the EU and the one who ran away from the steaming pile of shit that he’d created.

      Theresa “Brexit means Brexit” May wasn’t leader during the referendum but as PM she chose the hardest Brexit possible to appease the fanatics and fucked us forever.

        I can’t see how that’s true as she didn’t even get to a point where our own MPs agreed on what Brexit should be and didn’t have a big enough majority to push anything through. Then she proper fucked up by announcing a general election the result of which was that she had even less power.

        In my view she simply wasn’t effective enough to have fucked us forever.
