Teresa May - Thick as mince

[darmstadt]

Got her knickers in a knot according to who? The people she is going to be negotiating with? Tittle tattle by the sounds of it. No smoke without fire I am sure.

NR: "Do you believe they are true"
AR: "Well I don't know, Nick"

And the Indy bag that up as "Home Secretary Amber Rudd admits leaked account of EU's 'disastrous dinner' with Theresa May could be accurate" - have you listed to the clip? This is the problem with journalism today and people taking things at the face value of the headline and reading into it what they want to hear. I hear something completely differed to "could be accurate" I hear "I don't know and this isn't how we expect to handle negotiations."

sas - you can bleat all you like about what life will be like outside of the EU but until we are there we really won't know.

Nothing in life is sure, but plenty of data exists about the strengths and weaknesses of the British economy.
In my analysis of that data, I'm pretty sure that things are going to be worse than they are now.
That's because the British economy is based mainly on services (and we are going to end free access to a large part of the services market) and its manufacturing economy is too small.
How much worse is the only uncertainty.
And rather than "bleating" I'm actively preparing for Brexit.
Interesting that this thread has had so few posts, seems like most people have no plan B in case Brexit goes bad:

2nd class degree in Geography and it shows. Out of her depth, only capable of cliches, no subtlety, meaningless sound bites. Only matched in inanity by her opposition and supporters. Truly, we've reached a nadir.

certainly being as thick as p*gsh*t isn't helpful

Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher were renowned for their intellect.

Dr Angela Merkel has a PhD in theoretical Physics, guess who is going to "wipe the floor".

[sasguru]

She graduated in 1977 - that is now 40 years ago.

Pointless tw@'s like you who think that what you did 40 years ago has any bearing on your current abilities are holding the country back!

How? You were a useless twunt 40 years ago and you're a useless twunt now.
There is no miraculous elixir yet that can make people brighter.

Apropos nothing, and just out of interest - what's your highest educational qualification?

What is needed at a time like this is steel allied with charm, subtlety and flair - all qualities that Thatcher had. She could be hard but charming too.
May comes across as a petulant schoolgirl - Violet ELizabeth Bott in the Just William stories :
"If I don't get what I want I'll thcweam and thcweam, so there".

I was 3 - so yeah pretty useless I imagine

Apropos nothing, and just out of interest - what's your highest educational qualification?

Degree - in science - obtained about 22 years ago - most of what I learnt has now been proven to be incorrect or at best an approximation

Has no relevance to the job I do today although having a logical methodical approach has certainly helped.

Why do you ask?

Anyway, who to vote for. A dangerous communist, a god-fearing gay-hater or 'Mummy".

It's good to know the tabloid smear campaigns hoodwink at least one person.

For the benefit of those who take Sas at face value, she got a 2nd-class degree from Oxford. You know, renowned for accepting girls from comprehensive schools, especially in the 70s. They don't take thickos, and hardly anyone doing an arts degree gets a first. It's not clear if she got a 2:1 or 2:2 (no idea if Oxford award both), a 2:1 from Oxford means that sAs is either stupid himself, or deliberately manipulating people.
