poontang Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 The second Prime Minister brought down by Nigel Farage. No wonder the political elites hate him. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Conservatives have inside info about the EU election results, and with the drubbing they received at the local elections it was only a matter of time before she was kicked out the door. Quite possibly the worst PM this country has ever had (and that's saying something). Her tears at the end of her speech reminded me of a child... who'd just been caught out lying.

amateur Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 She was rubbish as Home Secretary - ask any serving police officer. She is rubbish as Prime Minister - her decisions on calling a general election and on Brexit were appalling. The country is well rid.

The decision to go for a GE was the right one made by the party when they were 20pts ahead. The mistake was the way that she ran the campaign.

She ran the campaign with the same lacklustre manner that Cameron did the referendum. Just a casual indifference to the electorate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Quote Hardly the case is it? She was brought down by trying to deliver an almost impossible task. Another poster said it was actually impossible, but neither is accurate. Legal advice is that any incoming leader can merely walk away from the EU, without any vote by Parliament. Of the four leading contenders to replace May, a few have said they would do exactly that. I actually feel sorry for Theresa May - promoted beyond her ability, but did her best. She lacked support from her own party, got nothing but stirring from the opposition and ended up a broken woman. I take no pleasure in that, although it is the right decision for her to go.

Looking back over the last three years it's a job that few would have put up with. I can't fault her resolve to stick to the task and what a feeling to go after three years of trying and not securing a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the background of Mrs May it is obvious she has no ideas of her own and grabs at any suggested by others. The Civil Service therefor could not believe their luck, being all devout EU lovers, they just bent her to their will. The next Prime Minister MUST clean out the swamp which is the Civil Service. She didn't have a clue. Never run a company, done a proper job. This country has hundreds of business bosses who could have sorted this in minutes. "Don't want to talk sense? Well, here is my card, give me a call if you change your mind". That could have been done 3 years ago AND saved a lot of our money being wasted.

Scully Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) I have little sympathy for her predicament nor respect for her as a politician to be quite frank. She is a staunch remainer and as such didn't want to leave, and has reneged on almost every statement she made, including latterly that of a second referendum. If she had dealt with the EU as a business person who wanted to leave, instead of a politician who didn't, I dare say we may well have been out by now, and getting on with our lives. I wrote in my email to her some time ago my reasons for voting to leave, and that I seriously didn't believe she had any intention of leaving the EU without some package which would keep us closely tied to it, and that in doing so she was undermining the democratic process. I never received a reply of course, but everything I believed the EU to be, has been proved correct, and it would appear it also applies to our home grown politicians too. What a legacy she has left herself in the history books. Edited May 24, 2019 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK has been humiliated by non-elected EU negotiators, who laughed behind Theresa May's back. The next PM should do tell them we are leaving with no deal, unless they dump the idiots who ridiculed the UK and agree to what we want. I wonder what has happened to Ollie Robbins, the smug Brexit Advisor. I trust he will be back to filing paper clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonmick Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) It's a shame that as a parting gift she did not give British steel a hand. It was a drop in the ocean what they asked for when compared to the foriegn aid that is thrown out each year to undeserving countries to squander. Charity begins at home.

figgy Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Other countries steel industries are backed and bailed out by their respective governments. Our sodding government only show and backbone in saying no to industries within its own borders. Anything in Europe or text of the world they scatter the cash. Get your own house in order first and foremost before even thinking of other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
