And then there was one

Taking back control eh ? So that's what it meant. Smells more like wanton desperation to me. This is a do-or-die move; the only reason the government hasn't actually collapsed is... well, actually, it has. It's scarcely better than one of Galvani's twitching frogs, occasionally thrashing out randomly due to mysterious and poorly understood external forces but with no will or direction of its own. The only reason these muppets are still "in charge", for want of a better expression, is because no-one wants to inherit the shitstorm that is Brexit. Not even Brexiteers are quite that stupid.

The only problem is what comes next. The opposition forces are just the opposite kind of deranged.

  1. To be fair to TM, she gave two years to that bunch of morons to come up with something to show the appeal of brexit.

    They got absolutely nothing, and it is quite clear two more years are not going to make a difference, so they are now out and brexit is cancelled soft brexit it is.

  2. The problem with May is that the one things she's very, very good at (so far as I can tell) is self deceit. She's manifestly unsuited to any kind of position that involves dealing with other human beings, never mind management or - gasp - politics, but what she is sadly very good at indeed is believing that she is. There aren't many jobs in which I wouldn't label May as "hopelessly unsuitable".

  3. Rhys Taylor There are very few human beings who could actually manage the mess she inherited. We don't know if she is thinking to herself that she's doing as good as is actually possible. It's is clear she is not letting doubts show, but that could simply be necessary tactics if you're not going to do the sensible thing and declare a second vote.

  4. Rhys Taylor She's got to be the best example of Dunning-Kruger I have ever seen. That smug little grin, and quick flash of bright eyes, as she thinks about how wonderful she is, always helps with my diet...

  5. Chris Blackmore Exactly. She's also had the extreme misfortune of looking more competent than she really is because everyone around her is, bizarrely, even worse.
