[Politics] A nation divided like never before- who do you blame

[Fungus]

This poll is about as well thought out as the Brexit vote in 2016.

Time to end the chaos, and really re-consider what is best for the country, the Tories have FAILED us all

Now you've done it - the petition website has crashed! Last I saw, it was approaching 620k.

Edward Heath (Tories), I hold a grudge..

 

[Wardy's twin]

In this order
a) Cameron as he was weak allowed election and not smart enough to say ok we have listened but final say lies with Parliament
b) ERG and the people in the background with money who look to benefit massively from this
c) Tory Party - maybe in reality that is the same as ERG as the ERG has all the power but they could have cast them adrift
d) Corbyn because he is anti EU and has not led an effective opposition
e) Momentum for driving the labour party in the wrong direction , destabilising it and creating infighting which has detracted from the fight(s)
f) The MPs who voted for article 50 even though they knew it was not in the country's interest

This is list is also sort of chronological so at some points the items listed become more critical in the sh8t that followed.

I don't particularly blame May ( nope I am not a Tory voter or May supporter) in fact I have thought for sometime that she is actually trying to steer good ship britain off the rocks.

The nonsense that followed is the res


d) MPs

The referendum uncorked the bottle on some very uncomfortable truths. The nation is jaggedly carved along intersecting Left/Right/Remain/Leave/Geographical and Demographic lines. Many of the old certainties have been disrupted. Much of the seething resentment has been unleashed. All fuelled by a referendum that coincided with an unprecedented refugee crisis on Europe's borders. That is why parliament the nation and many families are divided.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I blame the ERG MP's, the right wing media and their ilk, not for what they're doing now but for their concerted efforts over 30 years to demonise the EU and convince the people through lies and misinformation that it is a bad thing, in order to serve their own self interest. Even the idea of leaving the EU should never have been on the table

The thick and the old. Simple.

Pretty high for Cameron - he was stupid/naive/arrogant, although it’s easy to say that in hindsight when at the time really very few people believed brexit would win the vote. Theresa May has an impossible job to do, surrounded by a bunch of baying, howling, self-serving, self-aggrandising, intransigent idiots, lunatics and *****, few of whom seem to give a shit about their country or the people they are meant to represent.

I agree with all that but it still poses the question what has Corbyn done that places him higher on the blame table than this lot?

 

[ManOfSussex]

The Tories - but also:

Eton College
People who are in awe of people who went to Eton College
The DUP
A xenophobic, right wing press indoctrinating people for 25 years blaming everything on The EU
The Toffs, cranks, freaks, eccentrics, NIMBY Little Englanders, oddballs, knuckle draggers and broflakes who whipped it all up in 2016 as being the answer to all our ills.

Nothing would appear to be the very apt answer.

 

[PoG]

Everyone that voted for that schmuck David Cameron, big Ed wouldn't have done this to us.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I agree with all that but it still poses the question what has Corbyn done that places him higher on the blame table than this lot?

There are of course many, many people who share the blame, but I’m probably just most angry with Corbyn than the rest of them, and that’s a personal opinion. Having always been of a more socialist leaning myself, his betrayal of his Party and his country whether through pure stupidity or a more sinister agenda is incredibly depressing and hurtful. And the fact that I feel obliged to feel more sympathy for Theresa May than any of the other morons at this moment leaves me feeling slightly unclean. It shouldn’t be this way.

Yeah agreed, but definitely NOT cause she's a ladylinesman.

Just the one in Block 125 ..happy enough although the first three I clicked on kept on coming up unavailable when they were supposed to be...still got one in the end although a little nearer the front than I wanted ...loving the B word block

 

[Change at Barnham]

We are heading for a scenario that I find frightening and would have found unbelievable a few years ago.......

Coming soon, a general election with a choice between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.

What have we done to ourselves? I'm close to getting to the point where I avoid social media and limit the time I listen or watch the news. I'm finding that it's affecting my overall well-being and making me stressed and miserable.
However I seem to be addicted to following it at every turn.

It is frightening but i'd take Corbyn over that complete **** baffoon every time.

Tories - this is the endgame of a war that has been taking place in the Tory party since 1971. They are, to put it simply, a bunch of caaaants who purport to be acting in the country's interest whereas in reality all they are worried about is protecting/feathering their own richly upholstered provincial and rural nests.
