Mrs May trying to placate the nutters

WITH every new day we create or respond to events which future generations will study as history.

Some days are trivial; some, as Sept 3rd 1939, are world-changing. At present, we, as a nation, are passing through a period so momentous that it is essential, if political involvement means anything, for us have a final say in the direction the nation is taking - for the sake of our children, theirs and theirs beyond. Trust in politicians is at an alarmingly low ebb, and for many reasons people feel alienated from the political process.

Mrs May has done her utmost to secure a Brexit deal which would do the least harm to our prospects, whilst for ever trying to placate the wreckers and nutters in her party who seem to have no concern for the well-being of ordinary people. After two years and three months, Mrs May, in both respects has failed.. By future historians - who will write a library full of books on this era - she might well be see as brave and determined, As it stands, in this political peasouper, no-one can shine a light. Mrs May is burnt out. Mr Corbyn prefers to stand in the shadows, biding his time. The Liberals are irrelevant. At a time when we desperately need someone of immense stature - a Churchill - we have political midgets.

In 1940, had Churchill been persuaded by Lord Halifax and other appeasers and defeatists to make peace with Hitler, the consequences for Europe and the world would have been dire. Let not Apathy play the role of Lord Halifax in 2018/19,

We, as patriotic Britons, in the possession of ever more disturbing news about leaving the EU without a sensible deal, given our native commonsense, given our sense of obligation to each other - and let down by our politicians yet again - we MUST demand a second referendum. Because it is obvious now that only we can save us from this catastrophe. John Payne
