I don't feel she is so smug - just very reserved & possibly a bit shy; but she has a certain steely determination about her that is needed now in Europe.


The smug one is Gove - I cannot percieve any redeeming feature in the guy. He is intelligent & clever but shows no empathy or capacity to meet others half way. HAS DISAGREED WITH ALMOST EVERYONE HE HAS WORKED WITH ! Not consensual so would find it very hard to negotiate in Brussels which is the capital of compromise.

She didn't threaten voters with a supplementary budget

Anyway, it was Osborne who ruled himself out.


Theresa May is ideally placed to negotiate an immigration policy that will be suitable for the UK. She did a reasonably good job under difficult conditions & now she can put that experience to good use during discussions in Brussels & elsewhere.

That would be a fantastic dummy on Boris and would be very cheering - though I fear it might give him a "wronged martyr" status with the Tory rank and file which might facilitate him leading a coup against May at a later date.

A BBC headline described it as "real life House of Cards"... pretty accurate I'd say!

She has now said that sending EU people living in the UK

home is on the table.


Not sure about that - even though it's obviously a bargaining

chip.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
