Remainers hail 'woman of the century' Gina Miller after judges backed her over Brexit

[Grey Lemercier]

So so proud of a fellow West Indian (she is Guyanese) Brit woman (I am half Bajan) potentially stopping the fucking Brexit nightmare!

Glamourous, feisty and impeccably well-connected, South American-born former model Gina Miller humiliated Theresa May and derailed British democracy because Brexit made her feel 'physically sick'.
Mrs Miller, 51, lives in London with her financier husband Alan, nicknamed 'Mr Hedge Fund' because he made £30 million after starting one of the City's first in 1997.

The couple run an investment firm with a reported £100million in its portfolios. Nicknamed 'Mrs Wham Glam' by friends, she has now been branded 'woman of the century' by Remainers who cheered her on the steps of the High Court today.

The mother-of-three, who was born in Guyana but grew up in Britain, became a successful City investment manager and also set up the No.1 Ladies' Investment Club for women in business.

And friends say she is sharp-witted and acid-tongued, with a reputation for winning every argument.
Describing herself as a 'natural fighter, she has rattled cages in the City and accused the charity sector of widespread inefficiencies. But this year Mrs Miller, a Labour supporter, put the Government's Brexit plans in her sights because she was 'absolutely stunned' by the referendum result.

1. Great win but even the Daily Mail should know that it's Guyanese

not Guyanan

[Grey Lemercier]

3. plus they call her South American, not West Indian

At least they didnt call her a jump-upsie (Bajan anti Guyanese slur)

[malaise]

4. Guyanese are South American and West Indian

West Indian is political because of British colonialism -South American is a geographic fact. Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America.

5. Love your comment re the Bajans

and their treatment of Guyanese. It is particularly strange given that large numbers of the Afro-Guyanese middle class have Bajan grandparents and great grandparents.

6. Voters should never be trusted with big decisions

They have proven themselves unfit.
