Prime Minister Theresa May has conceded on just about everything in the unveiling of her “Brexit” deal, which keeps Britain inside the European Union’s “Single Market” for certain goods and which allows the European Court of Justice to regulate free grade.
Talk about a total capitulation.
MPs have now called for a vote of “no confidence” in May’s leadership while Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary Boris Johnson labeled the deal a “big turd.”

What a mess for Britain — and it’s all due to May’s complete fold.
From Breitbart:
Prime Minister Theresa May has unveiled the ‘Brexit’ deal her Cabinet has agreed to put to the European Union, which appears to be even softer than the ‘Norway Option’.
The bizarre proposals would see Britain effectively remain inside the EU’s Single Market for industrial goods and — unlike European Economic Area (EEA) countries like Norway — agricultural products, by signing up to a free trade area regulated by a so-called “common rulebook” dictated by the European Court of Justice.
However, Britain would be outside the Single Market for services, such as it is — a somewhat counterintuitive proposal, considering the country runs a substantial trade surplus with the rest of the EU for services, but a large deficit for goods.
Britain would also agree to remain subject to EU state aid rules and keep its employment, environment, consumer protection, and social regulations at least as stringent as the EU’s, as well as binding itself to legal agreements guaranteeing “strong reciprocal commitments related to open and fair trade” in order to maintain a “fair trading environment”.
Also from Breitbart — the “big turd” comment from Johnson:
Theresa May has been unable to contain Brexiteer anger over her “turd” Brexit proposals, with backbenchers reportedly moving to trigger a vote of no confidence in her leadership.
Left-liberal news anchor and political insider Robert Peston cited sources confirming formal letters calling for a confidence vote are being sent to Graham Brady, who chairs the 1922 committee of Tory MPs who do not hold government positions.
According to the ITV host, the letters appear to be a “spontaneous” response to the Prime Minister “traducing those who voted to leave [the] EU” rather than a concerted effort by Jacob Rees-Mogg — the party’s leading backbench Brexiteer — and his European Research Group faction.
Plans to rebel were initially reported by The Sunday Times, with backbenchers unable to stomach May’s ‘Brexit’ proposals — which would see Britain effectively remain inside the Single Market for both goods and agri-products and submit to a “common rulebook” dictated by the European Court of Justice, as well as a host of commitments to match EU rules on state aid, environmental policy, social policy, and more.
Details of the proposals were reportedly submitted to Germany’s Angela Merkel before May hashed them out with her own Cabinet at an away-day in the prime ministerial countryside retreat of Chequers.
Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary Boris Johnson, who is probably the Cabinet’s most senior Brexit supporter, is said to have branded the plan “a big turd” at the meeting, and warned that anyone supporting it would be “polishing a turd”.
He did not immediately resign over the proposals, however — and several Brexiteer MPs have told him he has just 48 hours to do so if he wants their support as May’s replacement.
Other backbenchers have backed the aforementioned Jacob Rees-Mogg, with one describing the Somerset MP as “our Churchill”.

Gotta love the the Brit’s language. What a great visual to imagine “polishing a turd”.

“I am very proud to be here this morning because I am sure that I am the first Mayor of London of partly Muslim extraction, and indeed the descendant of a Muslim entrepreneur by the name of Ahmed Hamdi.”

Time to get Rid of Anti-British , pro-jihadi May and other such scumbags if UK is to be saved.
Trump was correct in exposing the jihadi mayor of London http://bit.ly/2svuNZ3
Of course as usual he was called “racist” for it ! LOL !

I’d rather Trump passed on his trip to the UK. It is not safe for him and allowing Muslim scum to insult him and our country with that obscene balloon is hardly “free expression”. It;s rude and insulting! Notice that “hate” only goes ONE WAY and obviously with May’s approval. As P.M. she can over rule the hate filled lowly Muslim mayor and doesn’t. That kind of “hate crime” is perfectly acceptable. Guessing… but I think Trump will go anyway. I doubt that a trade deal will happen. The EU sees the US as the enemy. Happy nostalgic talk about being allies will not change that.
Imagine if native Brits want to have an effigy of mayor Can job flying over Parliament! That would be deemed a racist “hate crime”,Islamophobic and you’d be arrested. What is going on is absolutely surreal! I want to wake up and view all of this as a bad dream. I include Obama’s destruction in that.

I believe that some people are planning to also fly a Baby Khan blimp at the same time. You know, just to see if the London Mayor believes in freedom of expression for all, not just some.
Either way, for any leader to endorse the Trump blimp shows just how childish and lacking in leadership ability he really is.

Last I heard they had raised about 13,000 pounds, well over their 10,000 pound target.

It is a shame to see what GB has/is becoming, although I don’t see too much difference between them and the “new U.S.”……the U.S. seems to be trying to become more like GB and the rest of europe in these past years. I thought we fought to be free of their rule, why are we going backwards now?

She is REMAINING while calling it BREXIT. No one is that dumb. This is by design. SOROS has thrown money at “hate rime training” while real rime sky rockets!
If you are a white native straight Brit, and bonus points if you are a Bible based Christian, you are the approved “hate” target. You have replaced the Jew that Hitler used as his bogeyman. Merkel does the same thing in her country as the new female Hitler. Any criticism of the invaders or the EU is a “hate crime” subject to aggressive pursuit by the St asi police.
I can hardly believe this is happening. We have learned nothing from history.The same tactics live on! The only thing that has changed is the target! Vile human nature doesn’t change.

May is not only inept, she is an abject traitor to the UK and to Western Democracy. Obviously, she is pro-Islam and autocrat. She and her henchmen, those bent on the eradication of Britain’s Judeo-Christian principles, culture, and traditions. She has sold-out her non-Muslim citizens to Islam and the EU. The Lord Mayor is a subversive, not unlike May, subjecting the nation to a tyrannical and in time a Theocracy, Islam. Brits must rise from the perfidy of May’s creation; taking back that which May has wrenched from their grasp, Democracy, judeo-Christian ethics and the reestablishment of culture and tradition.

When you call muslums friends and allies you can’t help but adopt their totalitarian, fascist values.

Ain’t that the truth and nothing but the truth. Although, May isn’t the only leader who needs to be tossed from this planet. Israel’s upcoming moon landing should have May and several other onboard; one-way, needless to say.

She was inept as the Home Secretary, a sign of things to come. Her betrayal is beyond scope; turning a once great nation into an autocracy, soon to be a Theocracy under the subjugation of Islam. The fact that Muslim paedophiles, rapists, and terrorists hide behind a Democratic Charter not afforded to the non-Muslim population is beyond treasonous. Fuhrer Merkel and Fuhrer May have much in common; they are interchangeable. The only solution is, the infidel Brits and the UK military usurp this miscreant Bi**h and those of her perfidious gaggle.
Moreover, waiting in the wings is Britain’s Marxist malignancy, Jeremy Corbyn. Hence the sole solution is a revolution or military coup. Those participating in a revolution would not be subversives but Freedom Fighters. The latter label is used by the leftist politicos and the Leftist media to legitimize Islam’s perversity and insatiable want for murdering non-Muslims.

You watch, many if not all of these so called Allies will be looking for our brave men and women to once again protect them from themselves. Dump NATO and use the funds to care for veterans, seniors and the homeless in America. Nato hasn’t followed their own charter for decades.

Typical politician. The voters, her bosses, voted to exit the EU. She is doing exactly the opposite because she knows better. We mere peasants cannot possibly understand the ramifications of such a decision.
