EU supergirl on mission to stop Brexit DW English



Madeleina Kay wasn’t politically active before the Brexit referendum. But when she heard about the shock result, she sprung into action. Now a self-proclaimed ‘EU supergirl,’ she spends her time campaigning against Britain’s departure from the bloc.

I've seen her performing at marches and rallies; the last time, she was with a colleague who had got himself up as a caricature of Boris Johnson, and they were singing very funny but sharp-edged songs. I have her book, 'Theresa Maybe in Brexitland' - a very funny but sobering parody of Alice in Wonderland.

Although she is more to be found outside Parliament or Strasbourg. Even a serious foot injury doesn't stop her! She seems a lot more well known in Europe than in this country.

but note that 7 MPs have said no, we want out as soon as possible, with no deal if necessary. Ugh. Well, since the committee includes the likes of Peter Bone(head) and ex-Kipper Craig Mackinlay, it's not too surprising.
