Is it too late for a U turn on Brexit or at least watering it down?

The only way now is to stop T May getting the majority she expected. Vote for anyone but May. This site below will tell you how.
Nobody except her wants a hard brexit, out with no agreements, losing all the co-operation we have established over 40 years.

We're not voting for a type of Brexit are we?

Well, I'm afraid the Federal States of Europe run by Brussels is not for me James. The Common Market was a brilliant idea but what it has and will become over the years is definitely not for me or my family. As my Australian cousin said ref their country's trade with China, ' we love to trade with them, but we certainly wouldn't want to be run by them'! This is exactly how I feel over Europe.

James I do not have to admit to anything because I certainly did not vote to leave the EU.

We oldies need to admit we got it wrong about leaving the eu, we are putting our young family members future at risk. Unity is now priority

The deep concerns by commerce, industry & farmers on our economy and hard times ahead should not be lightly dismissed.
The horrors of this week have highlighted the need for much closer unity with our neighbours in Europe. We cannot gamble on a hard Brexit to resolve differences, we need to stop and rethink how we can resolve our differences without the extremism of Brexit. Is it too late or can we save ourselves from a possible disaster? To do otherwise could be taking a gamble we just cannot afford to take on our young families future.

I am not prepared to leave it to Teresa May and trust her hard Brexit colleagues. Therefore I shall not vote for her type of Brexit.
