Ship captain May is steering way off course over Brexit
What I see is a captain of the ship stuck on a sand bank and screwing an already screwed tax payer paying £1 billion to 10 tug boats to pull her off.
This will end in tears because once she gets off the sand bank she will steer onto another one.
The arrogant captain Theresa May went off course long before she hit the sand bank, first she called a snap election thinking she would get back with a massive majority, But the public are not as gullible as the Tories thought.
She believed the media and their own propaganda, they thought like many more that Mr Corbyn leader of the Labour Party could not possibly win the election or come anywhere close.
Believing their own propaganda this clouded their judgment, not unlike Mr Cameron, when calling a referendum on the EU.
The next nightmare will be Brexit, the parliamentary battle is about to begin (they have already started to dig their trenches) over the great repeal bill which will cancel the act which took us into Europe in 1973.
This requires replacing an estimated 12,000 EU regulations into UK law on to the British statute book (by the way this is one of many reasons why Mrs May gambled on a quick election, after the British courts rule MPs or Parliament would have the last say, methinks).
We are already seeing the effects of leaving the EU, when we go in our shops and supermarkets (you were warned) that’s before we even begin the talks.
So I do not want to give Mrs May sleepless nights, but there are dark clouds on the horizon if Brexit goes wrong.
It could harm the economy by £97bn which would hit tax receipts by £36bn. So if it does do wrong, no one wants that to happen. Theresa May will be singing in clubs ‘Don’t Cry for me Argentina’.
