Many of us were shocked when Theresa May announced plans of a snap general election to take place on June 8 – but arguably no one was as shocked as Brenda from Bristol.
A clip of Brenda talking to reporter Jon Kay in an interview for BBC News quickly went viral after her, well, unimpressed response.
"NOT ANOTHER ONE!"
Watch Brenda's reaction when I tell her that the PM wants a General Election. Safe to say, she's not impressed.#Bristol pic.twitter.com/IYEdGBryyZ

After hearing the news of the election, Brenda said: “You’re joking? Not another one!“Oh for god’s sake. I can’t – honestly, I can’t stand this. “There’s too much politics going on at the moment. Why does she need to do it?”Cue an outpouring of love and affection for dear Brenda.
Today, we are all Brenda https://t.co/mbyeynnBbR

About to go on a week long trip around dear old Western England. Will hug Brenda if I see her. https://t.co/7kt1GUT0Wc

And the thing is, Brenda, it seems you’re not alone in your opinions. Turns out Twitter is full of people who can’t cope with the thought of another election.
