Rules: just pick one or the other. Don't say "neither"! And don't say it should be whom not who

Theresa or Boris?

Theresa. There are very few people I’d trust less than Boris...

LakieLady · 03/10/2018 12:32

Theresa. I think she has some degree of integrity and is trying to mitigate the disaster that is Brexit.

Boris is a snake, and cares only about Boris. He'd support slaughter of the firstborn if he thought it would increase his chances of being PM.

SaucyJack · 03/10/2018 12:32

Theresa. I believe she’s merely useless, rather than a calculated danger to the lives of the average person on the street.

AuntBeastie · 03/10/2018 12:33

This is like asking if you want your house set on fire or bulldozed down, but on the basis that Boris is the fire in this analogy and therefore likely to spread destruction beyond my house and ruin the whole street, I’ll pick Theresa and try to limit the carnage.

Teresa. Boris is just an ego on legs wasting ahis talents on self promotion through any means. He will literally tell any lie to get what he wants. And Trump likes him, which is a pretty good indication that he’s a creep.

HurricaneFloss · 03/10/2018 12:34

The thread makes us wince because it's whom... but never mind

Yes, I mentioned that in my OP. I chose who because that's how I would say it in conversation which is how I view Mumsnet - chatting not writing.

Thanks for replies.

Love this answer: impossible. could not pick between the 2, so what is the point of the question?

Um... well... what's the point of your answer?

Anyway, Theresa. By a country mile. And Boris knows it. He just wants to be a stalking horse, so he can buy his way back in like Gove. Unfortunately for him, I think he'll end up more like Jacob Rees-Mogg, yelling uselessly from the back benches.

Sammy.

For reference, Sammy is my cat. His brother's medication is manufactured in the EU, and he's heard disgusting things about what Americans do to chicken.

Theresa. She took on the brexit poisoned chalice, and I'd rather she did than Gove (twat) Fox (eurgh), Crabb (shudder) and
Leadsom (woefully unqualified). It wasn't a great selection pool though. Boris is a danger to himself and others (look at what his stupid comments meant for Nazanin).

Unfortunately I reckon once brexit is over and the dice have landed where they will, Theresa will go, Boris will strike for the PM job, of course he wants it, and we'll be properly fucked. What with a Boris/Donald 'special relationship' combo.

Boris
I love a man who can make me laugh Grin

In all seriousness, I shouldn't laugh about it. They are screwing with an awful lot of people's lives.

Glumglowworm · 03/10/2018 12:44

Theresa

She’s normal politician level of shit

Boris is Nigel farrage and Donald trump level of shit

calpop · 03/10/2018 12:44

Neithet, but if I had to choose, Theresa, obvs. Boris is clearly an out of control ego out for himself.

WhatsGoingOnEh · 03/10/2018 12:47

Theresa

Technically, I think it should be "in whom do you most trust". I don't think you could say "whom do you trust most". It just sounds all kinds of wrong.

Reallywanttogotobednow · 03/10/2018 12:48

Theresa. She's useless but Boris is vile and some of his connections worry me.

Smishsmash · 03/10/2018 12:49

Boris/Donald 'special relationship'
No wonder Melanie always looks so miserable. Grin
Instead of world domination, they could plot to find a decent Barber/Hairdresser.💇‍♂️

TM. BJ is a charlatan and a liar.

Theresa.
I like her.

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 03/10/2018 12:53

TM. At least she’s not a twat.
