Quote:May says she is the best for the EU negotiations, but will she turn up on the negotiations? :lol
Owen Jones was sent a strange anonymous email yesterday from a person calling themselves “somebody at the BBC” – May’s team will not be doing local radio interviews. Not even a pooled one for a network. No regional political editors.
Owen has now stated he knows 100% that the email is from a BBC journalist.
If this is correct, it appears that the Prime Minister in the last week of campaigning in the snap election which she called is withdrawing – as much as she can – from that campaign.
So who would you like to lead the UK in the BREXIT negotiations, perhaps the most complex negotiations in British history, that is a negotiation with the 27 remaining members of the EU concerning our exit terms.
How about a self-confessed bloody difficult woman who it appears runs scared of local radio interviews just in case some small town pollical pundit tears her up fae arse paper.
I mean really?
I get the feeling she isn't doing these interviews as she's arrogantly confident of winning the election (obviously or she woundnt have called it, right?) And that if for any reason it doesn't go her way she can blame the 'brexit' negotiations for taking up her time/resources.
She's either setting her self up for the most spectacularly cocky victory in election history or a loss with the best politcal excuse cocked and loaded in the chamber.
Dudeofrude,
Quote:I get the feeling she isn't doing these interviews as she's arrogantly confident of winning the election
Indeed I agree arrogance is part of the equation.
But this narcissistic leader is not as capable as she would like us to think. This hard-hitting negotiator, and umm “bloody difficult woman” who offers strong and stable leadership is running scared in this opportunistic election that she called.
She is limiting her media exposure to the public because she knows only too well she is not the person she wants us to believe she is. She is not a particularly capable politician.
And whilst many compare her to the ultimate scum bag Tory - Thatcher, well as much as I dislike, nae absolute despise Margaret Thatcher, well you know, I’ll say one thing for Thatcher, she was an ideological politician, a conviction politician, and in her own words “The Lady is not for turning”.
May on the other hand, well I’m getting dizzy with her u turns and now sheer cowardice. Too sacred too to criticise Mr Trump.

A soft touch I think !!! but seriously my mum had her problems with her nerves and general health. With me being away at sea all my working life and my brother away as well it was good to know my mum had good neighbours. Mr & Mrs Fleming always checked up on my mum morning and last thing at night, always took her shopping etc!!, those were the days when people looked out for each other.

Speculation here in France is she is ducking and diving and hoping she losses the election so she can not go down in history as the PM that really fucked up the brexit exit :lol
Amber Rudd eh!!! is it just me or does that sound like a name for a Porn Star????

I saw the Question Time highlights on Newsnight last night.
May fights back the commentators tells us. Emily Maitlis then allowed Boris Johnston to ramble on incoherently for a full ten minutes though at least she hits back at one point telling him “you demine the office of foreign secretary don’t you Boris Johnston, people are starting to talk about whether you will keep your job after the election………………” which actually manages to silence Boris for a few seconds.
Then Ian Lavery from Labour got three and a half minutes!
The most notable aspect however was that May was allowed to set the Question Time format. May would not appear next to Corbyn. So we had the bizarre spectacle of the Question time panel (May and Corbyn) appearing separately.
She’s hopeless.
they're all hopeless but I'd rather choose hopeless than useless. :rolleyes
If I wanted to make a life-long career out of
working with the mentally retarded I would
have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership!
Well as a total antidote to all the nonsense I went & helped a friend rebuild his 1960s Triumph Tiger Cub today-it was therapeutic beyond words :lol
The other good news is that I can watch the TT programmes each evening on ITV4 :lol
I believe my 5 year old grandaughter talks more sense than the whole bunch of buffoons telling me they & only they are fit to run the country! :eek
Labour is closing the gap - Thank foc.
Will Theresa May stand down if there is a hung parliament or if she is returned with a reduced majority?
Could it even be Prime Minister Corbyn

Funny you should mention that shunted around the country on the same bus. On face book yesterday there were two photographs
Photo (1) was Kent Conservatives show support for PM May
Phot (2) was Sussex Conservatives rally support for PM May
Very good then you look at the photos, the lazy fuckers had not even changed their clothes they had just moved around a tad so they were standing in a different position in the line up.
I am under no illusion that they all do it.

Well spotted Lew. The thing is it really annoys me is (all of them ) think we are so stupid we wouldn't notice. I reality it is THEM who are stupid thinking that we wouldn't notice.

Doubtful. But perhaps. So what of the Tory party – do they have anybody who wants to whoop and cheer in front of the TV cameras, never mind busing them about? That’s not doubtful – they simply don’t.
Rather reminds me of the 2014 Independence referendum, Labour shipped activists up from England to distribute leaflets etc, whilst the SNP had so many activists and volunteers they just didn’t have half a clue what the heck they were going to do with them all.
But at the end of the day what this election is demonstrating is that yet again defeating the bastard scum bag thieving Tories should in reality be a walk in the park for labour. The Blairite Labour MP’s are denying the country the progressive Labour government that it needs and wants. Shame on them.

Never mind that, but are ye daft enougth tae vote fae the Tories?
After the sad events in London the Conservatives have suspended campaigning for how long? one would assume the other parties will follow suite.

VNA with your ramblings you are typical of the reason I will never vote labour, I would sooner vote for the devil himself than support a party with people like you supporting them.

Absolutely dreadful. I switched on the telly late last night to catch up with the news, and yes another stupid idiotic horrible murderous attack.
I switched off after a couple of minutes and went back to my book. The media had switched (BBC and SKY anyway) to their usual hysterical pointless nothing to say rolling news mode. Just as the so-called terrorists would want.
As Prime Minister one would expect Theresa May to be in discussion, attend the odd meeting, but suspend campaigning? I hope if she has indeed done so, that the other parties continue their campaigns. Let’s face it we are just days away from polling day. Is the UK seriously going to allow these murderous thugs to halt our election?
Quote:VNA with your ramblings you are typical of the reason I will never vote labour, I would sooner vote for the devil himself than support a party with people like you supporting them.
Steve, I'm not a member of the Labour Party, nor am I a Labour supporter as such.
I'm a Scottish Nationalist and more importantly a socialist.
But yes I do want Labour to win this election in England. And I’d like to see Corbyn form a government, preferably in coalition, though a majority would do.

Umm. How can I say this. Errr. Hmmm. Oh dear. I, err, once again, umm, agree with you Lew.
