[Misc] Do you feel sorry for Theresa May

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I don't follow politics day in day out like some but the key points which made me lose any sympathy for her:

Said she wouldn't have an election. Had an election thinking she would improve her position. Made it worse.
Said there was no magic money tree. Paid the DUP to form a government after backtracking on not having an election.
Dementia tax U turn
Pointing the finger at MPS, in a speech to the public, for not voting for her deal.

Not for me.

Journalist: " *asks question* "
Maybot: "I've always been very clear..." *goes off on completely different tangent*
Journalist: "Yes, but" *asks question again*
Maybot: "Well, I think what is important is that we...." *goes off on completely different tangent*

Repeat for 3 years.

May Be.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Absolutely not. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

[Questions]

Did Windrush, Grenfell and the terrible decision to call a needless snap election and not bother campaigning all just pass you by?

don't get my wrong here Simster - I'm no TM apologist but is she responsible for windrush and Grenfell ... poor follow ups but wholly responsible ? She's had a pitiful cabinet hasn't she ? That's definitely her fault tho.

The terrible things done to the Windrush people didn't happen while she was PM (but yes, I agree she was a dreadful Home Secretary), and I don't suppose any MPs knew anything (nor should they have) about the contents and suitability for purpose of the Grenfell Tower cladding. Just saying .............

She was Home Office minister when the landing cards for the Windrush were destroyed. I'm sorry but someone who advocates posters on vans saying Go Home or Get Arrested, must know what is going on in her department, or else is utterly incompetent.

 

[Albion my Albion]

That would need a ruthless, chubby right wing populist with a terrible thatch of blonde hair and the instinct to make things up as they go along.

In reality he is a true criminal trying to get by with criminal acts due to a stronger but not completely healed economy. It truly is a travesty.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I voted no, but I really wanted a "slightly, but she brought it on herself because she was dreadful" option.

There are still many tower blocks with the same cladding now, and the occupants haven't been told what is going to happen.
There are people who survived the fire, who still haven't been rehomed yet. Absolute incompetence.

Can I change my vote? I've just heard that Chris Grayling is organising the leaving do.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I'm sorry but no. She's been absolutely awful and made some terrible mistakes. She had a real opportunity to be a statesman/woman, to rise above the political noise after the referendum, to try and unite the country. Instead it's only ever been about the Tory party. Only Cameron has been a worse PM. Adios.

She was Home Secretary when Windrush started being a thing (and enacted the Hostile Environment policies which led to it), then failed to deal with it as PM. I think it's absolutely fair to lay that one very squarely and firmly at her door.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

No.

Worst PM since Lord North.

Back to your Borg Cube, Theresa.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Absolutely not. I never ever thought I’d despise a bunch of Tories more than Thatcher’s lot. But what Cameron, May and the rest have done to the country totally surpasses much of what she did to Britain. Some of it is with malicious intent, some is more neglect. Either way those two will leave a dreadful legacy and a divided nation which will never heal in my lifetime; they are an embarrassing, harmful and self-serving bunch of *****. Sorry?

 

[Pevenseagull]

She's still going to be PM when Trump visits.

poor cow

 

[jamie (not that one)]

We will all feel bad when Boris squirms his way in.

He's managed to survive two prime ministers and 35 cabinet members. What information does he have hidden?

To paraphrase Einstein, if you do the same thing again and again, each time expecting a different result, you're a moron.

That's not paraphrasing Einstein. He never said the 'definition of insanity' quote.
