This holiday should be a learning experience for May, but it won't be

Prime Minister Theresa May is to take a three-week walking holiday in the Alps with husband Philip, Number 10 says. Mrs May is to spend five days in northern Italy next week, before attending the commemoration of the centenary of the battle of Passchendaele in Belgium.

She will then resume her holiday with two weeks in Switzerland. It is the second consecutive year that the couple have taken a walking holiday in the country. She joked on Wednesday that fellow Conservatives may be relieved that she is not returning to Wales, where she made the decision to call a snap election while walking in Snowdonia with husband Philip at Easter.

Mrs May has previously said that she loves holidaying in Switzerland because she can get some "peace and quiet".

Well, this demonstrates idiocy for two reasons. First, there aren't many fields of wheat in Switzerland, making it a poor choice of holiday destination. Second, for the love of all things holy please start paying attention to the demonstrable fact that the existence of the Schengen Area has not led to the total collapse of Europe. That free movement you're so keen on ending... FFS, WHY ?!?!
