It was a brilliant coup, masterfully conducted with a sadist’s attention to detail.
All the ministers in the Cabinet were hauled up to Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country residence, where their phones were confiscated, as though they were naughty children. Then the stubbornly pro-Brexit ones who were rightly disgusted by the shaming sell-out deal May had cobbled together with her virulently Remainer civil servants were given the same choice Rommel was in 1944: cyanide pill or slow career death.
The cyanide pill option would have involved resigning immediately on principle: but then being ritually humiliated by having their official car confiscated and having to walk to the train station via the mile-long drive, or catch a cab, with a £67,000 pay cut.
A letter to each minister, leaked to the press, warned them of this beforehand. Petty, but given how vain ministers are, very effective.
None of the leading Brexiteers present – not Michael Gove, not even Boris Johnson whose last chance this was to establish himself as the credible voice of the Leave resistance – chose to do the decent thing. (Though Brexit Secretary David Davis has resigned since, as has his brilliant and principled junior minister Steve Baker – one of the unsung heroes of the Leave campaign).
Really, though, the “who did what to whom and why?” elements of this story are a distraction from the only thing that matters: Brexit has been sabotaged, democracy undermined, and the people betrayed by the Remainer establishment.

The Globalist are gleeful, but it is early to say what the backlash for this betrayal will be in England.
In my opinion, this is not disconnected from the ComDem insanity we witness in the US. The globalists are of one dictatorial mindset and they do not intend to lose. Not matter what the cost.
Am I overstating this? I don't think so.
It’s been looking like they were finding ways to drag it out until it was either unfeasible or forgotten by the easily distracted masses.
It ought to be telling to people that the EU fights this hard to prevent countries from escaping their clutches. They refuse to work with anyone outside their collective. Like the mafia, once you’re in, you can never leave.
So much for the will of the people.
Not only may BREXIT be dead but also Britain along with it.
May drops a Turd and the UK will have to eat it
Who saw that coming? /s
No one resigns anymore. The Daily Telegraph commenters were complaining about Boris’s refusal to step down.
Hope Trump pinks May over this!
Let’s face it. England is through. They just haven’t realized yet that their heart has stopped.
The UK is not a democracy, it’s a modified monarchy with responsible ministers who govern.
Plebiscites are foreign to their traditions and don’t really count for anything.
Brexit Secretary David Davis resigned.
Boris Johnson just resigned
Democracy is dead too. The fascists are winning.
Boris Johnson just resigned.
Should I have my previous post removed, lol?!
Britain had only one hope for survival: a clean break from the EU and a new bi-lateral trade agreement with the Trump-led America. May and her Tory “wets” will end up with a deal that gives the EU all the power and damages any chance of a trade alliance with the USA. They will now sink into the mire of history.
Lol. Russia scare is Bremainers’ Project of Fear II.
Will of the people means little in a country where firearms are closely controlled.
I’m not all that hot on democracy at the national level. Certainly for it on the local level.
I don’t think the (Global) Fascists are winning. Guess we will eventually weight that.
Boris Johnson has now resigned
All is not lost since it is not likely the EU will agree with the terms of Britain’s partial capitulation.
The Brexit negotiator David Davis pointed this out right before he resigned.
May herself won’t resign so there clearly needs to be elections.
So, does Trump skip meeting with May, saying that he’ll meet with the queen, his friend Farage, maybe inquire about Robinson, but otherwise, will be happy to return once her replacement is chosen?
