Maybe, though I'd still rather not have someone with no cabinet experience, who lies on their CV, who reneges on a promise to publish her tax return, but who uses her religion and ability to have babies as reasons to trust her to steer us through one of the most dangerous points in our post-war history.Stevo 666 wrote:

I've got a very unpleasant image I can't get rid of that Leadsom has got some kind of Lady Sonia style website hidden away. She just looks the type! I need to get rid of the image though as it's making me feel physically sick.0

Well said, the religion is stupid, she'd already proved it informs backward views, and being religious is pinning to the mast the fact that you're not a logical person. On the kids issue, if anything it's better not to have them so you can spend the time you would spend supporting teenagers being twats by doing more of your job. Her even mentioning the kids thing shows how stupid she is. We don't want to hear 'where your point of view is coming from' woman, we want to hear what you'd do if you were in charge in the desperate economic times ahead.0 -
Pross you are a very bad person. Living the sheltered life I have, I searched for that.

I might go back to check if I am still shocked by that....Ecrasez l’infame0 -
I find it shocks me more everytime, I'm trying aversion therapy!0

The more I see stuff like that, the more interested I mean shocked I get. Who will stop this tide of filth? I think I might join the Tory party, after all they have our best interests at heart. Laura Norder, that's what we need!Pross wrote:I find it shocks me more everytime, I'm trying aversion therapy!Ecrasez l’infame0 -
could be worse, was Crabb sending these to Leadsom? we need to be told! after we all know Leadsom is infact 23yo

The whole Christian issue is form the benefit of the Tory electorate. When James Arbuthnot stood down at the last election, he also announced he was an atheist. he had kept it quiet as he believed he would net get selected if the local party knew. It says something when you can be openly gay and get high up in the Conservative cabinet, but you dare not "come out" as atheist without harming your career.0

Nearly as distasteful as the idea of Jeremy Corbyn actually shagging a member of his cabinet and showing her naked to impress his mates. Oh hang on...mamba80 wrote:could be worse, was Crabb sending these to Leadsom? we need to be told! after we all know Leadsom is infact 23yo

If Terry wins, she should call a general election so the parties can state their exit manifestos. This is a massive constitutional event and for it to be lead by a pm who did not even support it does not feel right to me. Some will say (like Brown's inheritance) that she wasn't voted in by the electorate but people who bleat about that are pussies.0
-
That's the thing, though...can she? We have a Fixed Parliaments Act, can a PM just go against it and hold one anyway? I know, I could look it up, but I am expecting a constitutional expert to answer this quite quickly.Motogull wrote:If Terry wins, she should call a general election so the parties can state their exit manifestos.

Why not have another referendum offering people Norway style or WTO? Or we could say as we were with immigration or try and control it.0 -

I believe you need to lose two votes of confidence- so Tories (or whoever was in power) could engineer an early election by voting against the PM0 -

Pretty much a given, don't you think? I know DCs majority is slender, but is there seriously another contender in British politics. The Labour party are hell-bent on fighting wars from 40 years ago, the LibDems are in free fall, so what's next? More votes for UKIP? A referendum is very different to people voting for an MP.Rick Chasey wrote:Until after the next election. Unless she wins.
After all, with the referendum, we were told "you're vote counts". In lots of places in Britain, voting in a GE, that might not be true. Lots might vote UKIP and they might be pissing up the wall. Like last time, really.Ecrasez l’infame0 -

Wow, just wow. This woman must be from a parallel universe, where logic works in an entirely different way. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po ... 28751.html
Actually, I think she is just plain barking. Not quite as barking as Manc33 maybe, but she's making a good effort.

Hmmn, a rabid brexiter at work expressed similar nonsense. He heard on the news the access to single market only with freedom of movement terms and asked me if they could do that...his words 'can't we just ignore them and trade with whoever we want anyway?' Er, no..it's what a trading bloc means, a collective agreement. His response was something along the lines of 'oh we'll just have to kick out Aldi and Lidl then, that'll screw them up'. Childish nonsense on his part but it shows there are people who will lap up what she says.0 -

Well, at least thanks to Leadsom and The Independent I've learnt a new word: apophasis. Leadsom did it by saying using May's childlessness in comparisons would be horrible... then promptly did just that. I'm trying to work out if she's mad, or just Not Very Bright.

I think she is a fantasist. I had assumed they knew they were talking rubbish but they actually seem to believe this carp. If none of her supporters defect we know they are in the same deluded boat.0 -
Very interesting it's true. Labour and Tory MPs talking about creating a new centrist party.0

While Corbyn may prove impossible to dislodge for the time being due to their leadership election rules, I have the feeling the May will become PM, keeping the Tories close enough to the centre ground for this not to happen. Although a Labour split is likely in any event given they are totally impotent in opposition currently and unlikely to be able to ditch JC."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."
