A new, more direct approach to politics

The rational, measured approach to the current political farce does not appear to be working. This is because it assumes that politicians are fundamentally rational and logical. They are not. Therefore I suggest an alternative approach. Continue writing letters to one's MP, however, instead of the time-consuming boring ones full of facts, let's try something like this :

Dear Theresa May,
You are a bloody nutter.
Sincerely,
Me.

Context :

Theresa May insists Donald Drumpf was "being a gentleman" when he held her hand during her US visit shortly after he became 45th president. In an interview with the style magazine American Vogue, she says: "We were about to walk down a ramp, and he said it might be a bit awkward." Asked what she made of Mr Drumpf, she adds: "I like to think we got on."

"I mean, obviously he has, uh... it was a stunning election victory, in that he's someone who has not been involved in politics." Pressed on whether she confronted the president about his comments about women, which she had previously described as "unacceptable", she replied: "Well, I don't... We don't comment on private conversations that take place. All I would say is, I've been very clear: I'm not afraid to raise issues and the nature of the relationship is such that we should be able to be frank and open with each other."

What a classic May answer, declaring that she's been clear as though that was somehow an answer. Total dribble.
