I said in the 'closed original' Brexit thread that I had a sneaky suspicion that May was seeking a means of aborting the village-idiocy of Brexit, and trying to manipulate a process of achieving the abandonment which would give her a get-out from shouldering the blame that the Brexit village-idiots would undoubtedly try to heap on her.

I've seen little to change my opinion on that, in fact as her government rumbles inexorably towards a bloody good kick in the balls in the 'meaningful vote', it seems more and more likely to happen.

Fingers crossed!
