TEARFUL Theresa May today finally admitted her time was up and quit as Prime Minister insisting: "I've done my best".

The PM was forced to resign after she failed to deliver Brexit and lost the support of her own MPs - but will continue in office as a lame duck until July.

Shortly after meeting Tory "executioner" Sir Graham Brady, she addressed the nation in the spring sunshine of Downing Street - watched by adoring husband Philip - and admitted her time is up.

The PM confessed she now has no chance of ever getting her Brexit deal through Parliament but insisted "I have done my best" to deliver on the referendum result.

So, is Brexit still on for later in the year?

So, the big money is going to enslave the British people and flood them with muslims.

It will be either a hard Brexit or soft.

I censored myself. There is basically no way to describe this vile woman without sounding like an old sailor.

I thought the British people had voted for Brexit like a couple of years ago. Why was it never implemented?

"I've done my best".

Which was an F on the test, nothing to proclaim.

Because the elite know better and don’t want it. We have the same problem here in the US on a host of issues.

I have no doubt she did her best, but she tried to do something that was NEVER going to work. UK should have been preparing and planning for a hard BREXIT from day one.

The EU has no reason to make the exit quick and painless... if they do, more nation states will leave.. it is in their own self interest to make sure all those other uppity member states know if you decide to leave you will pay a heavy price....

By never once truly preparing or considering a hard brexit, they wasted time and harmed their nation.

Globalist backstabbers ... in the EU, in Britain, in the Euro-Media ... like cockroaches, they're everywhere and hard to get rid of

May is also gone because of Spygate.

Or, it could be a problem other than Brexit . . .

It’s like the no-so-recent ruling that Obamacare was unconstitutional.

They’ll get around to dismantling it eventually...

Perhaps May has other issues she prefers to not be around for.

Her approach was to negotiate a deal that was so loathsome and lopsided in favor of the EU as part of an apparant strategy:
  1. If it passes and the elites get to be a vassal state of the EU, technically out of it but getting some of the privileges and all of the burdens. The elites would have been okay with this but it wasn't their preferred state. On to Phase 2 then.
  2. People refuse it and they go back to the table and make an even worse deal. Deadlines approach, lots of scaremongering over fake issues. Nobody is happy. People who wanted Brexit feel like they've been had. People who didn't want Brexit feel that they should have just ignored the vote altogether.
  3. Hallelujah! A solution: Let's just have another referendum, get the right result this time now that we've spent two years scaring everyone, and we can move on back to status quo.
  4. Where we are now. Oops, people flipped out at the new vote? Ministers resigned, and elections are approaching while the conservative party is in shambles? Everyone who wanted Brexit left the conservatives for a party that really supports it and those who are against Brexit left it for parties that don't pretend to support it, so yeah, shambles. May is stunned to be forced out. She did what she was told, how could this happen?
I think that's about what went down.
