Cove_Sheep Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Michael Gove gubbed in round 2. So, the next PM is going to be either Theresa May, or a woman who has been endorsed by Nick Griffin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I thought they had planned some tactical voting to keep the other burd (whatever her name is) out? Didnae work. In a few weeks time we could easily have a PM who 95% of the population had never even heard of 3 weeks ago. Even now I would guess that over have the population haven't a clue who she is. Me included. This is the sort of "democracy" Tony B Liar wanted to impose on Iraq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilser Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd never heard of her till last week when she was on a discussion on the radio and was being ludicrously touchy about not being allowed to finish what she was saying. If she gets the gig she'll make Corbyn look media savvy by comparison. Her speech on the economy today seems to have been based on some inspirational quotes from her desktop calendar...

TDYER63 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 First time I seen her was on one of the EU debates. She had a really irritiating condescending smile whenever she talked, even when she was talking about something that was deemed negative. She completley reminded me of Margaret Thatcher , the way Thatcher would put on that smug smile whilst putting the boot in. God help us .

Hopefully this means the Tory party have finally awoken to this duplicitous, two faced, sneering backstabbing, fanatically ambitious, political psychopath, this foreskin faced freakshow and his horrendous scheming wife should crawl back under their media rocks. I cannot believe it has taken the Tories / world this long to wake up to this Murdoch toad. And no thanks to the world, arsehole boy and his horrible handler have done it to themselves. Not only has he put independence on a plate he has fukked himself completely. As for the other two whatever, usual shite. Just be grateful it is not nutter boy Gove with his horrible wee hand on the button. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Imagine how difficult to become head of a large company. Or, say a top football club. And someone like leadsom comes along, one tv debate later, suddenly on the winning side, and the virtue of not being michael gove, and someone almost no-one has heard of could be installed by a tiny number of tories as leading a whole country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 She seems about as much use as a chocolate teapot: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/07/the-perfect-champion-for-the-new-nasty-party-andrea-leadsom I shudder at the thought of her as PM (and can scarcely imagine how inept she'd be) but on the other hand it might make a few more No voters switch to Yes for the 2nd independence referendum with a total ba' heid like her in Downing Street.

Barney Rubble Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 So once again Scotland will be imposed a leader that has no mandate from Scotland to govern in Scotland. It's a classic definition of cognitive dissonance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's almost a parody of herself. Surprised she doesn't want to disapply health & safety law and the Working Time regulations. An utter scumbag.

Orraloon Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 She could be the Tory version of Corbyn. Voted in by the party members, hated by most Tory MPs. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
