Off Topic The Politics Thread

May is not perfect, and that's shown when she relied on Nick Timothy before her manifesto. She needs to choose her advisors more carefully.

But Abbott would introduce extreme new lows of inadequacy to ministerial appointment.

 

Can't disagree with that. I can only hope in the unlikely event they get in that she'd be quickly moved aside after he first inevitable gaffe.

 

typical Labour. They hate t

I thought you lot want open borders, what you moaning about?

 

I'm not moaning, just highlighting what an ineffective Home Sec she was herself.

 

She would have to be pretty awful to do worse than May.

 

I'd like to know why we let her breathe.

 

Abbot isn't stupid. She's very smart. She's also very lazy, and doesn't do her homework. Not good enough.

You do know about Boris Johnson, don't you? It's a very low bar...

Bit higher since Irritable Bowel Smith flounced out, a man so stupid he took the longest time on record to get to the rank of Captain in the Scots Guards. May is thought to be going to bring him and Michael 'Pig Ugly' Gove back into the government after the election.

 

Abbott supported the IRA when they were active and killing innocent civilians. Theresa May will have had to have supported ISIS to be worse

Many were thinking Johnson would drop a major clanger or two after being appointed Foreign Secretary. They've been disappointed.

If you're rating politicians on ugliness...I'm afraid Abbott loses again, whatever her haircut

I liked the Italian foreign minister's response to Boris' request for the U.K. to stay in the Single Market while not having free movement 'otherwise you'll sell less Prosecco', which was 'ok we'll sell less Prosecco to one country, you'll sell less fish'n'chips to 27 countries'.

If you are happy with Johnson as the face of this country to all others Goldie I would be genuinely surprised. Surely there's at least one person of you broad political persuasion you would prefer?

 

Set your TV record devices, Aled 'walking in the air' Jones will be bringing us Songs of Praise from Manchester, where he will be examining the role of faith in the response to the bombing. Seriously. Wonder if he will touch on the role of faith in causing the bombing?

Meanwhile UKIP calls for the return of the death penalty for suicide bombers. Seriously.

 

May's cuts to policing and the intelligence failures on her watch allowed the Manchester bomber to kill innocent civilians.

 

They're criticised if they don't seem to do enough and they're criticised when they appear to go over the top.

Personally, I'd be happy to have a couple of highly trained armed police officers or a couple of Paras nearby whenever I travel.

 

I'd like to see our Bobbies back on the beat and not speeding by in 'squad cars' to some central HQ because the local station has shut down, Col. Maybe if we have a return to proper community policing we might be able to deter all manner of crime before it's committed. The deployment of the paramilitary police to patrol an empty platform in the dead of night is a pretty pathetic measure in my humble opinion.

 

In my humble opinion you an I aren't privy to whatever intelligence may have lead to that decision. It's far too easy to complain and moan about people who are there to protect you.
I completely agree about the number of bobbies and the cutting of numbers has been a real mistake imo.

 

outrageous

 

But true, sadly.

 

Presumably all the Intelligence successes, I think they have foiled around 13 similar types of attacks in the last year alone, are a plus on her watch then?
Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott will always take the side of our enemies and that's why I can't vote for a party containing such people.
