Wow! We’ve heard rumors that May’s government was screwing Brrcit or the recapture of British independence and sovereignty. But the rumors seemed too incredible to believe. This now is terrible news for the British people

Lots of truth in those headlines.

Boris for PM.

Sadiq for prison.

Is he saying all this while visiting London? Should make some interesting table talk at 10 Downing. Tommy Robinson for PM.

Theresa May's been slow-walking Brexit specifically to water down the effects of it and in so doing has been doing the bidding of Brussels.

That is indeed terrible news for the British people.

He’s saying this before he has tea with Queen Elizabeth. Maybe it will shake up royal doldrums. If it isn’t too late, with London (judging from recent events and politics) already lost.

One thing I’ve noticed is the media coverage of Tommy Robinson protests has become incredibly biased and dishonest, only the papers that have any factual coverage at all are not allowed on Freep, and those tell nothing but blatant lies.

The Queen could grant ‘mercy’ which means that the conviction stands but the guy is released from prison. I don’t think the Queen really wants to get into the middle of this mess.

PM May likely has to agree to a confidence vote within ten days, which I doubt she will pass. So then, a nation-wide vote occurs again, and the Tories (her party) will have to discuss if she is the candidate (she won’t be), and if Boris Johnson is. At least a third of all Tories are anti-Boris.

Then you have the Tommy Robinson business. The UKIP folks might say there’s two issues here...BREXIT and a fake justice episode. I’ve seen a fair number of Labour folks and Tories who were just fed up with the treatment of Tommy, and would be willing to vote UKIP to solve that problem. Whether they could clear 40-to-50 percent of the vote is unknown.

Behind all of this....if there is a new election, I think BREXIT will conclude with NO treaty (remember, they have a deadline of late March 2019). If Boris got into the middle of this....there would be some major Trump-Boris dream team, and you’d find a lot of Americans pro-UK suddenly. With Trump around, you just can’t tell where this relationship would go.

I'm pretty sure if Queen Elizabeth doesn't listen, President Trump will be able to convince Prince Charles.

Careful you don't wind up with Jeremy Corbyn as PM.

While Trump apparently had to agree not to meet with Farage on the trip, I imagine him chatting by phone from The Beast or the American Embassy or wherever, as he goes about his visit.

As far as Brexit goes, would Corbyn really be better than May?

Allow May to continue being a horrid PM and the Tories will no doubt be giving up whatever level of popular support they now have.

I’m not sure really how many Labor voters would support Corbyn. Sure, they like to say that they are Labor, but do they really want him in to wreck take their country even further off track? I don’t think so.

A Tory-UKIP coalition could be the best thing for them.
