To feel sorry for Theresa May?

[lowlycattle]

I'm a die hard labour corbynite but I do feel sorry for Mrs May she's had a bad run of it. AIBU

I did for a bit, then I remembered her turning up to that interview in gold trousers, and I fit anymore.

YANBU, I'm not a Tory voter but I do feel sorry for her.

No OP I have to agree with you, she was given the shit side of the stick and no support at all in a thankless job. I too am a Labour supporter but I do really feel for her, it was inevitable it would end like this for her though.

I don't feel sorry for her politically. I do feel for her if she wanted a family and was unable to.

Tories stab leaders in the back on a frequent basis.

@Unfinishedkitchen

nobody forced her to sign article 50 so quickly?

Are you crazy? They wasted a year, giving ground at every step of the way. Article 50 should have been signed the day after the vote, and we should be out of the EU, and out of the Eurovision song contest as well.

Don't feel sorry at all.

she -conspired to protect a paedophile ring- lost crucial papers that would have exposed high level paedophiles.

She didn't care about all the people dying as a result of universal credit, ATOS etc

Why would I feel any sympathy for her.

The fact the phrase 'crocodile years' exists tells you all you need to know about her 'feelings'

Strike through fail

Crocodile tears. Etc. Dear god, my post is as full of mistakes as her premiereship. Except no, my post is nowhere near that.

At least I'm only responsible for my own self.

You won't get many agreeing with all the socialist weirdos on here

Nope.
Windrush
Grenfell
Saboteurs
No ideas.
Election.
Manipulation
Running clock down
Zero empathy.
Running down services

Blah
Blah
Blah.

No sympathy at all. It was never going to be an easy job but she chose to do it and it's largely been a disaster due to her own actions. The awful Brexit rhetoric : she was the first to say "no deal is better than a bad deal", introducing that facetious crap to the public consciousness and setting herself up for failure.

and we should be out of the EU, and out of the Eurovision song contest as well.

You do know they have absolutely nothing to do with one another? Israel and Australia are in Eurovision!

Finding people really annoying on fb sharing how poor Theresa may is with a short clip of the end of her speech crying.
Missing out the entire first half where she praises how well her and her party have done bold face lieing what they have done for mental health, climate change and grenfell, absolutely shocking.
Politics needs a complete overhaul.
The lot of them need to go and we need to make whole knew parties of people from all different payscales im each partie.
You cant have people well off with no experience of being on the lower payscale making choices for those people.
It doesnt work..

YANBU OP. I think she genuinely did care and tried to make too many people happy with her deal which was her downfall because it meant nobody was happy with her deal. Now I fear we’ll end up with a hardline Brexiteer and all May’s critics on the left and all the remainers will wish she’d stayed

Yanbu.
A male PM would not have been treated this badly by the press or by other politicians

I’d be pleased to hear just one single thing she’s done for the working class.

I have zero sympathy for May. Her tears were purely for herself and she was merely expressing anger rather than sadness or humility.

No sympathy.
She has tied our government up, at the cost of billions of pounds, to the odious DUP to keep herself in power - a DUP that has failed to form an active government in NI. A DUP that has shown utter contempt for human rights and a DUP that is blatantly bigoted.
May is responsible for that.

Unsurprisingly, the cadaver in high heels that is May, showed tears for herself alone when she got the push.

She was set up to fail from the start.

She's made bad decisions and I basically don't think she was up to the job. But she's also been treated appallingly, especially by people in her own party. And I basically thing that, however wrong she is and however incompetent she's been, she was honestly trying to do her best to serve the country, rather than for her own glory.

So yes, I feel a lot of sympathy for her. I think she should have stood down years ago, should never have called the 2017 election, and a whole host of other things. And mostly I think she should never have been put in that position. I have never seen such a shameful show of self-serving cowardice as when all the Brexiteers one by one took themselves out of the running for PM after the Referendum.

YABU. Did you watch all her speech? Everything she's done for the good, for mental health services etc etc?
No. Hostile environment. Windrush. Austerity. Deaths of sick people told they were fit to work. CUTS to mental health funding. Further erosion of the NHS.

Her tears were self pity. Not one for anyone who's suffered under her time as PM.

And don't even get me started on Brexit.

YABU.

When I saw her tears today it gave me the rage. Where were her tears for the Grenfell victims, when she was hustled past the site without meeting any of those who suffered and lost so horrifically? Where were her tears for the Windrush immigrants who were deported after their paperwork was destroyed, and some of whom died in exile from the only home they'd known? Where were her tears for those who live here legitimately but made to feel unwelcome from her fuck-awful "Go home immigrants" signs paraded around their homes? Where were her tears for the victims of Tory austerity schemes, the ATOS clusterfuck telling people who were dying that they needed to get back to work, the removal of support structures and the sheer inhumanity of Universal Credit?

No, the only tears she has are for herself.

As Frankie Boyle said so brilliantly on tonight's News Quiz, she had all the authority of a "Do not tumble dry" label and the charm of a war crime.

and out of the Eurovision song contest as well

hush your mouth, that's going too far

The position was a poison chalice. Whoever took the role was going to fail.

On one hand I do feel for her. Everyone disagreed with her for their own political motivation from all parties.

On the other hand it was obvious it was a doomed position and she wanted to do it. Did she do it thinking she could make a difference or toon it as this was her only opportunity to be PM.

Toon - took.
