Never said anything about the coughing, everyone gets sick. I just Despise anything Tory and she choose this path to follow so she gets the hatred. back handers and bribes are hardly and indictment of a strong party, who are only in power as they marginally won more seats, and needed endorsment form bigots, mostly due to the Scottish voters who are swinging away from another vile tory, by all accounts.

Labour are deluded if they think that yet another election would bring victory with JC in charge - breaks my heart to say it, but people are not convinced by him and they have their rifts too.
I would rather that the Tories sort out Brexit anyway, they started all this to clear up their own in fighting and its back fired. let them sort out the mess and try to get some kind of deal or whatever the 'plan' is, its only 18 months away ( or however long is left) for them to do it and the clock is ticking. Then go to the country maybe.

WitchesHatRim · 05/10/2017 14:06

rightnowimpissed heck of a lot of hatred you have there.

limitedperiodonly · 05/10/2017 14:07

I've seen that clip where the F falls off the wall about 50 times and it never fails to make me laugh

rightnowimpissed · 05/10/2017 14:08

Justified

WitchesHatRim · 05/10/2017 14:14

rightnowimpissed glad you know all Tories.

tobee · 05/10/2017 14:20

But if she goes, who’s next? Can’t stand her or the Tories. But better the devil you know? Boris? He’s totally shameless and appalling, plus desperate to be leader types don’t tend to get elected in the party (see Michael Heseltine) Jacob Rees-Mogg 😱😱😱😱? Amber Rudd or Philip Hammond?

Can’t think of any world leaders who would be able to do a competent job since Obama went come to think of it. I despair.

Don’t get me started on the current Labour leadership.

Jigglyguff · 05/10/2017 14:33

Her speech reminded me of The Fast Show.

I can't find it in me to feel sorry for a tory leader with a cold and no grasp of PR. If her knicker elastic had failed and the lecturn toppled over, I still wouldn't identify with her or feel sorry for her in the slightest. Just look at all the disabled people the tories have attacked with their policies; the homeless people on the streets; the vital services no longer funded; the appalling mess that is Brexit - and no shame for it, and not the balls to shut the whole thing down as it is clearly unworkable. All the shit they have done. TBH, I wouldn't feel a twinge of sympathy in any scenario I can think of. They are evil shits. They have done so much damage. I enjoy their discomfort in any situation.

IdontlooklikeEmmaWatson · 05/10/2017 16:32

JoffreyBaratheon your post is spot on and you are welcome to post it a few more times! Grin Thanks

JoffreyBaratheon · 05/10/2017 16:34

LOL. Blame BT. Maybe the tories run it, as my connection seems very erratic and crap today. ;o)

Lottapianos · 05/10/2017 16:38

Excellent post Joffrey. Evil shits is right. I was feeling sorry for her earlier but have to keep reminding myself of the utter shitshow she is presiding over

Laiste · 05/10/2017 16:57

I'm no fan of hers, but re: people judging and picking apart her appearance more than they would if she were a man - it is bloody annoying.

However choosing to adhere to a dress style with fashion experiments, sometimes strong make up and embellishments does make her an easy(er) target. I wish she'd just wear a well cut dark trouser suit all the time when at work with a simple white shirt or blouse. No jewelry 'invisible' make up, and flat shoes. Closest as poss. to the male boring suit basically. Take away the ammunition.

Righto Hmm

I suppose you think Corbyn and McDonnell are the best thing since sliced bread.

I must be an insensitive cruel fool then according to you, I'm not as must other posters, because I did feel for her.

rightnowimpissed · 05/10/2017 17:21

All hail, JoffreyBaratheon I know westeros didnt work out for you but...

And rubbing your hands in glee at the very thought of misfortune fortune befalling another makes you.....?

An insensitive, cruel fool.

You’re no better than what you perceive Tories to be really, in the grand scheme of things.

Gingernaut · 05/10/2017 17:29

You do realise, that if the Maybot goes, Rees-Mogg is a favourite to replace her.

Bo-Jo has self destructed, there are no other candidates worth a light......

Sugarformyhoney · 05/10/2017 17:30

She looked a complete tit- total embarrassment. No sympathy for her sadly, she’s devoid of anything that makes me want to pity her

RhiannonOHara · 05/10/2017 17:30

I've no sympathy at all. She and her shower give not a shit about students, people with disabilities, people from the rest of the EU, certainly not the 'just about managing' she's been so keen to bang on about.

She doesn't have the courage to stand up and say 'Brexit's a disaster' or the guile or skill to even try to get the EU27 on side.

She scuttled over to the US to make friends with Trump the second he took power. Which has backfired somewhat now.

She wouldn't meet residents of Grenfell Tower.

The only reason I don't want her to fuck off is that I dread to think who they'll wheel in to be next Tory leader.

Nikephorus · 05/10/2017 18:04

Having read a lot of the vicious comments on here from Labour supporters I can't help thinking that it's not the Conservatives that should be called "The Nasty Party". What a bunch of heartless, selfish & uncaring tossers you are.

RhiannonOHara · 05/10/2017 18:14

How do you know who's a Labour supporter?

Myself, I'm a Lib Dem member, as it happens.

sinceyouask · 05/10/2017 18:20

To be fair, Nike, we're being a bit mean about one person. She's fucked up the lives of millions. In the nasty stakes I think she wins.

Oh don't be so soppy, Politics is the cruellest stage and no one forces you to audition.

Theresa May has put herself forward and achieved the highest office in the land by a quirk of fate but I'm not sure what she believes in beyond some vague talk about helping people who want their children to go to grammar schools. Even John Major had more of a political vision.
