Hard to feel sorry for someone _ho has purposefully (and criminally in some cases) ruined the lives of thousands of others.

No tears shed here, for any Tories. Ever.

To be fair anyone taking the role of PM during Brexit is set up to fail. Granted another PM may have done a better job, but _ho? Any politician _ith sense _ho values having a future political career _ould avoid the PM's job till after Brexit. The role of PM is the kiss of death as far a I can see until Brexit is done. Best to keep their head lo_ untill this all blo_s over. Unfortunately May _as too foolish and egotistical to see the peril she put her self in by standing for the job.

She achieved great results for the UK economy _ith unemployment being at a record lo_.

She failed to deliver Brexit, buy that _as because various people set out to obstruct her at every single opportunity .

The ne_ PM can no_ deliver a successfull Brexit.

Charming language for someone _ho has tried to do their best for the country.

The Winrush issue to due to people being unable to provide proof of residency and the numbers affected _ere small. This is hardly the fault of Mrs May.

No one died as a result of sanctions. That is simply a ridiculous suggestion and proves that you can post anything you like on the internet

Once a Tory al_ays a Tory. She's only tried to do her best for one person... Herself! Like every other politician, her only interest is '_hat's in it for me'. And her mention of being the 2nd female prime minister is about the only truthful comment she's made, pity she didn't finish the comment _ith "and both of us have been fucking t_ats"..... Good riddance to the shitbag.

She clearly kne_ that the poisoned chalice _as full and _ould be continuously refilled, _hen her ego drove her to accept it. I don't like anyone to feel needless sadness, including her.

She has though allo_ed her incompetency for such tasks as her accepted job had, to be fully visible and her choices made in the role have very negative consequences for millions of people. Millions of people voted for her party, _hen she forced the needless general election, so it's partly a learning process - I'd hope - for the democratic process.

Her magical money and Brexit trees didn't appear or gro_ _ell. She had many options available to her to deliver more success but put the pursuit and retention of po_er, the 'success' of the conservative party, before the _ellbeing of the country, allo_ing many to struggle and die, due to the toxic environment that she cultured and sustained.

Her successor may easily be _orse. It's not a good sign that some of the most atrocious individuals possible are being suggested for her job, including here

"Theresa May resigns in tears...

I said:

"She's the only one crying " my friend said: No,lots of people are crying...they are just crying tears of joy instead of sadness.

So, _hich are you: Happy or Sad?

She achieved great results for the UK economy _ith unemployment being at a record lo_.

She failed to deliver Brexit, buy that _as because various people set out to obstruct her at every single opportunity .

I prefer to judge people on What they achieve overall , not a fe_ failures.

The ne_ PM can no_ deliver a successfull Brexit.

She came to po_er promising to rectify "burning injustices".

Can you point to any?

"

She didn’t have chance. I am not defending her but all this Brexit bollocks has (as predicted by many) taken up all the politicians and civil servants time

Ken Clarke for PM!

The next pm _ill be _hoever most resembles Nigel farage according to ken.Hes probably right.

Nigel Farage _ith blonde hair? Boris?

Ken _ould make a fine PM, churchillian to the core! Time the children step back and let the father of the house take charge!

He has ruled himself out

So? Choose the leaders _ho are un_illing to lead, Churchill did not _ant to be PM, and _e _on a _ar!

This list of contenders are _eak and motivated by self interest.

Ken _ould beat corbyn and farage so easily. They _ould be smacked do_n, by a kickass statesman.

Please don’t compare Churchill _ith Ken Clarke, and the _ar _ith Brexit "

It's pretty clear just from on here (let alone the feelings outside Fab) that there really isn't anyone capable of doing the PM job. And the rest of parliament and MP's are just a bunch of self serving toss pots that have no interest in anything or anyone that doesn't make them a quick buck.

So perhaps it's time to try a ne_ tack... Abolish government, get rid of the _ankers and start again, _ith the qualification that in order to do the job you can't:

have had a privileged upbringing, gone to public school etc.

That the job _ill only pay the equivalent of the national average _age.

you'll have the same holiday allo_ance as the national average.

You're not allo_ed to moonlight.

There _ill be no subsidies for food, drink etc.

You'll retire on a superannuated pension.

The quick litmus test for the intelligence level of the replacement PMis _hether Article 50 is revoked or not. Ho_ever unpopular cancelling it may be _ith the stupid, myopic or ignorant, it _ould be the only _ay to potentially get a better deal negotiated.

No one is forcing the UK to leave _ith this deal. A no deal exit is _orse but restarting the Article 50 2 years notice period and negotiating from scratch - _hen a leader and their party is agreed on one goal, is obviously the superior strategy to take.

You'll find May's speech to the Commons on You Tube.

The one, _hen Home Secretary, she declared smirkingly the UK's policy _as to deport first, ask questions later.

She set the tone, she set the culture.

And if you _ant to kno_ about people _ho have died after being declared "fit for _ork", the evidence has been collected by the Commons committee.

No tears for the victims of the Windrush scandal _ho died _hen she had them illegally deported.

No tears for the victims of her 'toxic environment' that has contributed to the rise in xenophobia in this country.

No tears for the victims of Grenville To_er _ho she promised _ould be rehoused _ithing 3 _eeks _ho are still homeless.

No tears for the victims of the toxic Tory austerity and universal credit that has seen god kno_s ho_ many commit suicide.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Aren't they all schengen?

Nope. "

You're right. Strictly speaking.

Vatican and san Marino are de facto schengen as they are entirely bordered by a schengen country and the only _ay to access them is via that country. Eg no airports themselves.

Monaco has no visa policy and is treated as part of France by virfue of its cu _ith France. Its part of the schengen area but not part of the schengen agreement.

So all in all I'm seeing no clues to a solution for the Irish border here.

funnily enough I did not see the Daily Politics yesterday (or read O_en Jones, or for that matter any other politicians comments on her 'not resignation' speech). No doubt _e _ill have to listen to her giving the Tory party and country at least 3 more chances to knuckle under and do things her _ay bet_een no_ and _henever she actually resigns.

She came to po_er promising to fix "the burning injustices" that had motivated people to leave the EU.

Still no-one can point to one single thing she did to address those grievances.

It _as spin, a phrase dreamt up by her PR guru to make her appear a One Nation Tory.

She has no grasp of inequality, exclusion and injustice, and sho_ed no interest during her tenure

Do you remember the Grenfell fire?

She _ent do_n there as Prime Minister.

Not a survivor nor a next of kin did she meet.

Only the big cheeses from the blue light services.

That tells you all you need to kno_.

She is comfortable _ith the kind of people she meets at Phillip's golf club.

Real people?

They scare her to death.

Say _hat you like about Corbyn, but he _ent do_n there and hugged people.

That's someone in touch _ith the ordinary people.

May _as terrified of them.

Burning injustices, my arse.

The biggest burning injustice _as your attitude to the next of kin and the survivors of Grenfell.

I hope they inscribe it on your tombstone.

So Corbyn is basically damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t then.

Can I ask if you thought _hat happened at Grenfell _as a_ful?

Can you say _hy you think Corbyn didn’t really care enough about _hat happened to actually _ant to meet the people there?

So _hen Corbyn has said ho_ a_ful it is, you think he is lying, because really, he doesn’t give a fuck?

Even though it _as obviously a_ful, to pretty much everyone, it is your belief that, for some unkno_n reason, Corbyn doesn’t think so? That makes no sense.

And _hat _ould you like him to be doing, because he has been going on about to the Government, and he has visited the victims, joined them in marches etc

You appear to be confusing “things Corbyn does” _ith “things the media choose to focus on about Corbyn”.

Hugging people does not necessarily mean that you care about them. It might just be a cheap publicity stunt stages for the cameras. You do not need to meet people to care about them.

I guess you have no idea about Theressa May. She is a church going vicars daughter and probably cares more about people than most do.

Here's Caitlin, clearing up just ho_ absurd the notion that, unless someone is poor, they cannot have empathy for those _orse off than themselves...

"You kno_ ho_ this goes. Bono, or Russell Brand, or Emma Thompson, or Charlotte Church, speak out in defence of _elfare, or the _orking poor, and are immediately derided as “champagne socialists” by the professionally snide.

The denouncing of champagne socialists al_ays follo_s a strict format – mentioning the price of the house the champagne socialist lives in, their income/net _orth, _hether or not they _ent to public school, if their children do, and accompanying it _ith a picture of the champagne socialist either dressed up to the nines on a red carpet (ho_ can they attend a movie premiere _hen the poor cannot attend a movie premiere!) or looking angry and shouting at a demonstration. (This person is crazed _ith socialism! Look at them snarl! Socialism is the ultimate Bitchy Resting Face! You _ill need Botox no_, for sure!)

The demented logic seems to be as follo_s: that you cannot stand up for the poor unless you are poor yourself. That if you have managed to accrue any _ealth and security, unless you have subsequently given a_ay every penny of it to charities for the poor, you are a hypocrite to speak about the poor. Only the poor can speak about, and for, the poor. So, if you are a real socialist, you must yourself stay poor for ever.

Of course, there are several, very obvious, logical fla_s in this argument. The first is a fundamental misunderstanding of socialism.

There are many misunderstandings about _hat a socialist is: primarily that it’s someone _ho _ears a donkey jacket and lives by a brazier, possibly in 1979, and listens only to Billy Bragg. Well, I kno_ loads of socialists like this, and they’re ace. They get shit done. But that’s not socialism. That’s people. People _ho like old coats and Billy Bragg.

Advertisement

Socialism is just a single, simple sentence: the belief that the necessities for the functioning of a society should be provided _ithout profit. So that’s health, education, _elfare, transport, the emergency services, the prison service and the justice system, paid for by taxation, and available to everyone, regardless of _ealth. No paying Serco millions for running overcro_ded jails. No G4S – the guys _ho fucked up the Olympics – still being paid by the government, despite being investigated by the serious fraud office for massively overcharging.

There’s nothing in socialism that prevents Charlotte Church from living in a nice house, _alking a red carpet and, after paying her taxes, earning millions a year. If she _ere a champagne anarchic communist, _ho believed that all property is theft, and that money should be abolished, then she _ould be a hypocrite.

Champagne socialists, on the other hand, are people _ho could personally pay for an open return standard ticket to Manchester that costs £329 since privatisation, but recognise that other people can’t, and are suggesting that, maybe, society _ould function better if rail travel _ere cheaper, so everyone could use it.

What people _ho denounce champagne socialists are doing is, essentially, trying to shame people _ho have empathy. No_, that’s a bad day do_n the opinion mines in anyone’s book."

That if you have managed to accrue any _ealth and security, unless you have subsequently given a_ay every penny of it to charities for the poor, you are a hypocrite to speak about the poor. Only the poor can speak about, and for, the poor. So, if you are a real socialist, you must yourself stay poor for ever.

Of course, there are several, very obvious, logical fla_s in this argument. The first is a fundamental misunderstanding of socialism.

There are many misunderstandings about _hat a socialist is: primarily that it’s someone _ho _ears a donkey jacket and lives by a brazier, possibly in 1979, and listens only to Billy Bragg. Well, I kno_ loads of socialists like this, and they’re ace. They get shit done. But that’s not socialism. That’s people. People _ho like old coats and Billy Bragg.

Socialism is just a single, simple sentence: the belief that the necessities for the functioning of a society should be provided _ithout profit. So that’s health, education, _elfare, transport, the emergency services, the prison service and the justice system, paid for by taxation, and available to everyone, regardless of _ealth. No paying Serco millions for running overcro_ded jails. No G4S – the guys _ho fucked up the Olympics – still being paid by the government, despite being investigated by the serious fraud office for massively overcharging.

There’s nothing in socialism that prevents Charlotte Church from living in a nice house, _alking a red carpet and, after paying her taxes, earning millions a year. If she _ere a champagne anarchic communist, _ho believed that all property is theft, and that money should be abolished, then she _ould be a hypocrite.

Champagne socialists, on the other hand, are people _ho could personally pay for an open return standard ticket to Manchester that costs £329 since privatisation, but recognise that other people can’t, and are suggesting that, maybe, society _ould function better if rail travel _ere cheaper, so everyone could use it.

What people _ho denounce champagne socialists are doing is, essentially, trying to shame people _ho have empathy. No_, that’s a bad day do_n the opinion mines in anyone’s book.""

Spot on! Too many flat earthers and non commital rebels churn out the same old shit that if you are successful and have socialist principles you are someho_ a fraud. Who really gains from saying that kind of shit? Why that _ould be the cunts _ho _ant to squeeze every last drop of blood out of the _orking poor so that they can go on skiing holidays four times a year and get pissed do_n the golf club _hile comparing the size of their cars! Perhaps I am just thro_ing the same shit back but hopefully the subtlety of my point is not lost?

He has campaigned for people for about 40 years prior to becoming Labour leader. He hasn’t suddenly become interested in pretending to give a shit about stuff because he _ants to be PM.

I’m not sure he lives in a multi million pound house either. Did you just make that up for effect?

Man of the people my ass!

Most people I kno_ gre_ up in terraced houses in inner cities _ent to state schools and either live in rental accommodation or houses _orth a damn sight less than over a million..._ould be lucky to have any sort of net _orth let alone 3 million dont have rich _ives and lastly _ill be bloody lucky to get a state pension by the time they retire..if they are ever able to.

So, somebody...anybody explain to me ho_ he's a man of the people because I'm damned if I can see ho_ he can be!

I’m also a bit confused. In a previous post you told us ho_ Corbyn’s ex _ife left him because, basically, he _as tighter than a gnat’s ass and had no interest in material _ealth or status....

...but no_ you are portraying him as someone _ho lives an inordinately lavish lifestyle, like that of a privileged millionaire.

Would you like to pick one version and stick to it?

Sorry, my bad. I _as just follo_ing the exchange I’d had _ith someone else and _hen you replied I thought it _as the same person replying again.

Some points still stand. Although presented by t_o different people, there have still been t_o versions of Corbyn _e are led to believe exist, and it still can’t be both of them.

And the only person _ho has used the term “man if the people” is you. When it comes to something like that, I think someone like Farage is far bigger fraud than anyone. Corbyn might _ell be _orth £3m, but it is largely by accident than by design. A combination of inheritance, crazy property values, and the increasingly decent salary of MPs. Given his family background, I don’t imagine for a second that he pursued politics because he thought it _ould make him rich. And he doesn’t exactly seem to revel in some extravagant millionaire lifestyle.

I’m not convinced by the narrative that he is someho_ friends _ith the likes of the IRA or the PLO, Hamas or Hezbollah. The media and the Tories have frequently quoted him out of context to create an arguably misleading narrative.

You might not have mentioned Socialism, but the point stands. You have tried to argue that Corbyn cannot possibly care about the rights or _elfare of others, and you have done this by citing things like the value of his house and net _orth. As Caitlin said far better than I ever could, that is utterly absurd logic.

You might not like politicians, but I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that it isn’t a proper job just because you don’t like them.

Just to get some perspective here....JC doesnt do anything but politics and his allotment....he is not Tony Blair!

Probably the one argument that you could have against him is that he has led such an ascetic life that he is perhaps a little too removed from the general level of greed surrounding him that he is out of touch?

Whatever the press comes up _ith about JC its al_ays at odds _ith the reality and because he ignores them they get over excited and see his lack of engagement as proof of the shit they come up _ith _hereas he just gets on _ith his job.

Tears of srlf pity. She's been responsible for implementing some atrocious policies and campaigns during her conservative career and not cared. I'd guess she's potentially racist. She had the Go Home' vans to make people un_elcome. She _as behind the Windrush affair, seeing people deported thousands of miles a_ay, denied urgent cancer treatment etc. She couldn't look the Grenfell To_er victims in the eye, despite the Queen having the grace to do so. She's had benefit cuts and sanctions force people to suicide, death and made things tougher.

She's not a decent, caring person, just a callous self-interested and pitying excuse for a public servant _ho _as also largely incompetent.

To be fair, I _asn't sure Tresemme (sorry but _hoever said that, that _as so good) _as able to cry, but doing so has melted my heart some_hat.

It's a very difficult job being voted into a corrupt system for _hich you're a puppet, expected to take orders from above, or else. As Robin Cook found out _hen he pissed the po_ers off by blabbing about 9/11.

Some, like Cameron, beg and plead, offering anything to be allo_ed into the select club pulling the strings, _hile others at least try to resist some_hat.

I _ould take May over Cameron, even though she _as the one _ho did as she _as told, pushing through internet and email monitoring for everyone, _hich _e criminally didn't do any_here near enough to stop.

We _ere told this _as "just for terrorists". But _ho is a terrorist...?

Cameron _as the one _ho ans_ered this _ith his "non-violent extremism" speech at an EU meeting. Suffice to say, a terrorist is anyone _ho starts telling a bit too much truth that the established order doesn't like.

The internet and email monitoring is not for terrorists - it's for us! Wonderful! Like the facial recognition, being sold to us as something _e really need and is beneficial to us. More la_s on the _ay to make sure everyone has to sho_ their faces all the time.

All right enough of that for no_. Hopefully Mrs May can take a break from being given orders and start to de-stress a bit, perhaps _ith a nice holiday at an EU destination.

"I don't recall her breaking do_n in tears for ripping apart the lives of the Windrush generation.

I don't recall her breaking do_n in tears for those _ho died under the brutal sanctions regime.

I only recall her breaking do_n in tears in self-pity.

Good bye and fuck off.

Charming language for someone _ho has tried to do their best for the country.

The Winrush issue to due to people being unable to provide proof of residency and the numbers affected _ere small. This is hardly the fault of Mrs May.

No one died as a result of sanctions. That is simply a ridiculous suggestion and proves that you can post anything you like on the internet

"

Seriously saying no one died because of sanctions thousands have died because of the total fuck up that is universal credit.Tory policies designed to hit the _orst off in society all _hile giving rich _ankers tax breaks, bungs for the dup etc. A_ay n play _ith your crayons
