She is surely joking. She is not the one to bind up the nations wounds, only make them worse. i do not trust her or her grisly cronies. There is the stench of self-interest, greed and hypocrisy about them, but Happy Christmas to one and all!

I'm certainly not going to unite and move forward with the isolationists, little Englanders, racists, xenophobic, prejudiced, short-sighted, uninformed and minority of the population who voted Leave. Those of us on the Remain side will be fighting an on-going war of attrition.

You lost, get over it. Plus you're forgetting Wales also voted out and nearly half of NI and a 1/3 of Scotland. Does that make them Little Englanders? Pathetic. |

Ms May does appear to think Remainers will now suddenly stand side-by-side with Brexiters and proceed to destroy the country ... Seriously delusional.

It is very hard to unite behind meaningless slogans like "Brexit mean Brexit" or "Red, White and Blue Brexit"
If she really wants to unite the country, she needs to give us something to unite for. Sadly, "unite and move forward" is just the latest meaningless soundbite. |

You think comments like this will repair a nation even if you get your utopia of being chained back up to the EU. You think Leave voters will be happy with that decision?

I'm convinced some of the more prominent "remainers" on these boards are on a wind up. The hysterics and venom is too OTT for me to take seriously.
That's a shame, so if any of the dummy-spitting-throw-toys-out-of-pram comedy acts are actually 'token' Brexiters or don't give a shyte beyond being a WUM perhaps they could think about a NY Resolution to tone it down a bit.Mrs May would no doubt be delighted.

If she really wants to unite the country, she needs to give us something to unite for. Sadly, "unite and move forward" is just the latest meaningless soundbite. "Brexit means Brexit" means the U.K. is leaving the EU, and "Red, White and Blue Brexit" means that the government will try and get the best deal for the U.K. In the Brexit process. Only by not applying ratiional thought can one's own predjudice make those phrases become meaningless. |

I think if you are a politician you have to support the democratic majority - fair enough.
But I am not a politician. I voted to remain part of Europe and I don't see why I should change my mind just because I am in a slight minority. |

Surely anyone with any intelligence would understand that;
"Brexit means Brexit" means the U.K. is leaving the EU, and "Red, White and Blue Brexit" means that the government will try and get the best deal for the U.K. In the Brexit process. Only by not applying ratiional thought can one's own predjudice make those phrases become meaningless. As was discussed during the referendum campaign and ever since, leaving the EU can have many flavours, from Norway to North Korea. And "best deal for the UK" is also meaningless. Best deal for hard line Brexit fanatics, best for banks, best deal for manufacturers, best deal for workers are all different. Try engaging brain. |

The country won't unite - it was riven pretty much down the middle over the brexit referendum. Had it been a very decisive result I think it would have meant more unity, but it wasn't.

She hobbled herself in this regard by trying (quite disgustingly) to bypass parliament and wielding medieval protocols of prerogative. I don't trust the cow an inch. |

Those such as this intolerant individual are in the minority. Quote:
