    Did you know that British Columbia almost left Canada to join the U.S. at one point? It was before Canada became independent.

    I never knew as well till a few years ago playing poker in Vegas was told by a Canadian at the poker table I was on he stated he was born in 1942 in NFL so he was British

    Did say to him if so he could get a British passport.

    Theresa May to step down as PM and she will also resign as CP leader on Friday June 7. Think it has to do with the CP looking likely to be down to less than 10% in yesterday's polls and Farage winning the elections.

    I did.

    TM for all her so called best intentions has made a complete cock up over the mandate she was given

    Glad to see the back of her.

    My Money is on Boris.

    Very sad ending for Theresa - everything she did led to this moment though
    Wish her well, but she thoroughly exhausted me and many others

    Yeah, she was very unfortunate as a leader misjudging the country's mood completely. Messed up the job that had been "the honour of her life to hold". Saw her in tears.o_O
    Your money seems to be anted up well. He's the frontrunner and looks like the most likely successor. He can then deliver what May has failed to do. (Didn't like his book on Churchill, though.)
    A hard Brexit will now be the most likely scenario. That being enforced by Johnson will eventually make the dreams of all those come true who have been in favour of leaving the EU for decades. The majority of the population will be satisfied. Better two losses...

    A change in PM MIGHT change the attitude of the EU negotiators if they don't have someone representing Britain that they think they can push around. May didn't seem to have her heart in the Brexit anyway. Only time will tell....
