Silly point.
They can’t.

MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC

LOL. I just wonder how much of a pain she will be to May now that she is outside the tent.
Mind loads of people on Twitter saying that May will absolutely have to go.
At any other time such a complete farce of a prime minister would have been gone. I just don’t think anyone else wants the poison chalice that is Brexit.

I’ve looked and I’ve looked and I’ve looked, but I just can’t find any trace of sympathy anywhere in me for Amber Rudd.
The woman has blood on her hands. People have died because of decisions she took. No one person has the right to impose death on others with impunity, certainly not alone and, many of us would argue, not in a collective decision either.
Any reasonable person would have understood the consequences of her actions and inactions. What, then, is Amber Rudd’s defence?
What is Theresa May’s defence?
LikeLiked by 3 people
I agree.
She lied and lied and better than lies, and, in the end, like Patel and Green before her, when the pressure on May was too much, she had to go.
Their lying isn’t a problem, of course. It’s the clamour for blood…especially with England having elections in the next few days.
Although she will still have a job that pays about 3 times the average UK salary, she will be given redundancy money to help her to re-adjust to life on £80,000.
Sorry for her?
I feel sorry for the man who, in his own country, was denied cancer treatment.
I wish I could believe that would haunt her every moment.

Horse stance is a very stable posture, if someone is trying to push you over.
They look like they’ve skimmed the concept, then tried to apply how they stand to reinforce the words coming out of their mouths.

There is some sort of disconnect going on here. I cannot see how anyone in the UK is happy at being represented by these fools. Who the heck see’s them as credible? This is now a Whirehall farce, in the Brian Rix sense. And I detested his farces.
We are being taken for fools, by fools. In Scotland at least, we really do have to set our own course.
That is not a happy bed to lie in.

Just a thought, but for those of you who perhaps peruse our EU neighbours media, has anyone noticed their politicians adopting such a ridiculous stance, this caricature of ‘ strong and stable ‘ surely only denotes a cerebral weakness.
Any way hello everyone, hope your well Tris.

He he… No, never seen anyone else do it, Stuart.
Cerebral weakness sounds like it a thing a lot of them suffer from though… but I guess it’s a “British only” thing.
I’m amazing Trumpy hasn’t got it though…
I’m well, thanks, Stuart. Although I’m in trouble with Munguin for leaving him in the garden, unattended, yesterday, while I went to the shops… Apparently he was in need of a coffee and no one to fetch it…
Poor me. Life at the bottom, huh?

The posture thingy is so ridiculous and they do it thinking it makes them look ‘Strong and Stable’. Personally, I expect them to look ‘Statesmanlike’ but let them carry on looking stupid.
Meanwhile, it appears that we, the plebs, can no longer use footage from Parliament tv for humorous purposes! Is satire deid or what!!
There are no adjectives left for me to describe the Tory tribe to outside visitors as I believe every one of those adjectives will in fact become illegal, it’s only a matter of time. 😀

Her entire dress sense leaves a great deal to be desired.
I don’t usually comment much on what people wear, but, as she represent me (unfortunately), I have the right to suggest that no-one wants to see her thighs, or indeed her cleavage, any more than they would want to see Ian Blackford’s or Jeremy Corbyn’s.
