Theresa May's last big speech as PM - BBC News

Chris, when I started writing my comment, nobody else had replied yet. I hadn’t seen your reply until I hit the button to send my own. lol I don’t think I’d go so far as to call her a traitor, that’s a pretty serious charge. I just think it was a combination of being in a bit over her head, and her remainer heart just wasn’t in it, you know?

[@2handsandwiches]

@@brianb.1883 I'd go as far as to call the Queen a traitor too, she swore an oath of aligance to defend our sovereignty, and seeing as she has secret meetings every week with every prime minister, she needs to be heading to the gallows too, asap.

[@JamesKelly-tn2oz]

@Jim Bob You do realise the NHS existed before yesterday? Learn some history

[@hauskalainen]

@Jim Bob The NHS was created in 1948 when Winston Churchill was leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition. The same position as Corbyn is in today. The Conservative Party opposed the creation of the NHS and it's leader was Winston Churchill. BTW it is very impolite to refer to anyone as a fuktard. I referred to that era because Theresa May did so. Fuktard.

Please tell me that because Britain was the most hated country in the world and is probably still up there today, they literally colonised 1/3 of the planet and they have the audacity to complain about foreigners in their country and wonder why everyone hates them. And before you start saying that the EU is undemocratic and how we have unelected bureaucrats, just take a look at the house of lords and dare I say, the royal family.

[@brettandlaos5792]

I love how everyone in the world has an opinion on British politics, based on what they see in the media which is manipulated to get you to think in a certain way, where YOUR favourite is the correct one and everyone else is wrong. It really annoys me to read comments from people who don't even live here. I have lived in England all my life. I feel that most to all politics are biased to whom ever pays the bills. And that's never the poor. What I hate most about this speach is that she just talks crap about things that had nothing to do with her or her doings. Also she talks about other countries and makes out that her politics or parliament had some type of success. She is just reading a script that someone else wrote. The whole of BBC is corrupt too. They protect pedophiles so they don't get sued, because money is more important to them than the truth. Another company that only does things for the rich investors no matter how corrupt. The whole system is screwed all the way to hell.

She misconducted herself in many ways. Her husband has taken big profit from the military industrial complex with her help. She has sent our military into unlawful conflict on more than once She was not authorised to extend past the 29th March so she broke the law. She had the original article 50 changed. Three words. She was by many who are awake regarded as the worst PM ever of all time.

[@2darker]

She failed no get Brexit, nothing else. The leftists who replied to your comment are that, PM May is a Conservative so a centrist, the commenters have bias. Austerity is obvious due to expensive social care programs and world financial issues. The general public who have more have supported the failures with food handouts. Police have been cut but this isn't the reason example why London knife crime has risen, but due to local authorities priorities. The latest Mayor stopped 'stop and search' which has been a big factor and importing different cultures with lots of fatherless homes has made crime rise to this peak. Universal Credit is a great program. People who have struggled have only done so by their own mistakes and our attempt to assist has only been abused. Anyone who slates her who isn't conservative, clearly only does so due to different politics. I liked her, she failed to impress me and often disappointed me but I am sad to see her go. Take care.
