    Agree. Like most politicians, May is an opportunist. In the recent One Show her husband let it slip that she had wanted to be PM for a long time. She saw her chance and took it. For the Hard Brexiteers like Gove and Fox she is the acceptable face of Brexit. As the Spectator article said yesterday, they will put up with the policies they don't agree with as long as it delivers Brexit. They can then change the poliices laters...
  2. Jawa 50 (Czech), shared it with a mate as my parents would've hit the roof if they knew I was riding a motor bike, even off road. He kept it at his house, and we used to bomb up and down the playing field that backed onto his garden... http://www.pajka.info/img/mojestroje/1968-jawa-50-typ-21-sport-modra/jawa-50-typ-21-sport_01.jpg

    Red Theresa/Leftie May anyone? I thought this piece in the Spectator highlighted in the Guardian's live feed made a good point. Brexit means Brexit suck it up and see... Mrs May is the most left-wing leader the Tories have had in perhaps 40 years. In normal times, this would set her at odds with the MPs on the right ? the ones Sir John Major once referred to as the ?bastards?, for whom regicide is a form of relaxation. But not now. The Thatcherite MPs are those who are most committed to Brexit; having regarded the whole idea of leaving the EU as a dirty fantasy, they still cannot quite believe that it is coming true. For them, the national question ? leaving the European Union and crushing the Scottish Nationalists ? matters more than gas bills. As one senior Tory puts it: ?As a Conservative I have three priorities: the nation, security, and a low-tax economy. David Cameron gave me none of those three ? Theresa May gives me two. So I?ll bank those two and back her, and worry about the rest later.? There is also a belief that Conservatism?s strength lies in being opportunistic, and ideologically flexible. So if the public want some pick-and-mix, a bit of banker-bashing with their Brexit, then Tories will cheer Mrs May as she delivers it ... For those Conservatives who think that the party?s role is to keep the bad guys out of power, things could not be going better. ?If an energy price cap is the price we pay for destroying Labour in its heartlands, then I?ll pay it ten times over,? says one MP. It?s an example of the strategic shamelessness which many Tories see as the party?s election-winning secret. When Lord Salisbury was prime minister, he said that Gladstone?s existence was the Conservative party?s greatest source of strength. Now it?s Jeremy Corbyn who is the great Tory unifier. So the Conservatives are mutating from being the party of low taxation to the party of Brexit. They may regain their love of free enterprise when Britain has left the EU. Either way, it seems likely that in ten years? time there will still be a clear Tory majority. And for now that seems to be all that matters.

    Corbyn did more electioneering in the first week of this snap election than he did for the whole of the referendum campaign. Don't forget in his words he was a 7 out of 10 for remaining in Europe, hardly a ringing endorsement...
