MAGGIE Rickards is partially correct, in her letter of September 20 in stating that Mrs May is a Remainer. Mrs May did vote to remain in the referendum but some of her more recent policy decisions could be considered to align her more closely with the hard Brexiteers. Whatever the PM privately thinks, the poor woman will inevitably annoy at least half of the population, in the coming months, with her decision making.
Maggie states that only Johnson, Davis, Farrage and Rees-Mogg will work for the people who voted out, presumably to get the country out of the EU at any cost. With such an unsavoury group leading the way, there is obviously nothing for the rest of us to worry about then is there?
Maggie concludes by calling for Churchillian spirit! Churchill was an astute politician, a great orator and a true statesman, operating at a vastly superior level to the politicians Maggie appears to rate. Yet Churchill was voted out of office by the British public at the first opportunity in 1945.
Seventy-one years later, in the referendum, the English again did the unexpected in their voting. As a nation, we really don't seem to have got the hang of this voting "lark" do we?
