    This useless PM can't be far away from retirement from mainstream politics, perhaps at a time not of her own choosing.......please God! Now, there is that old saw, 'Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!' (Scott's 'Marmion') but liars like May never seem to change...

    Don't ask me why but I saw this and found something 'Brexitesque' about it........I'm sure some will see the somewhat tenuous connection: dad-takes-everything-out-of-shed-and-puts-it-back-in-again-20180504148655 Tom

    This caption tells the truth about the local election results - no wonder the propaganda machine has been in overdrive since! I used the word 'slaughtered' after the count and that is how it turned out. Tom

    That is far too much bullshine from a devout racist and fascist on a Saturday morning! He may be one of your heroes Mister but he is an enemy of the people in my eyes. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Liam Young, described online as a film director and architect, though he seems to dabble in all sorts of things, described the BBC's projection of a GE result, based on the local election results (never reliable) thus: It's all a bit, 'lies, damned lies and statistics!' but I understand the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I indicated early yesterday in post# 30288, I found the BBC's reporting of the local election results somewhat skewed to suggest the tory party had done ok across the country. Now that the full picture has emerged, it is clear that the tories were slaughtered at the polls, their worst...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The woman making a complete shambles of steering the UK out of the EU has ordered her MPs to vote in a way not in the interests of democracy or of the British electorate. John McDonnell explains it like this: In any other job, someone as incompetent as May would have been sacked long ago. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The parliamentary camp is simply a form of theatre for second-rate actors, providing ample opportunity to pontificate about anything that takes their fancy. It is, however, much more lucrative than the acting business for the most part as there is generally no 'I'm between jobs at the moment...

    What does it actually take to get rid of the incompetent woman bringing the office of Prime Minister into greater disrepute than the last tory PM? The hypocrisy, dishonesty and sheer disingenuousness of Theresa May is breathtaking as illustrated here: Tom
