I thought she was ok as Home Secretary as it happens and was brave when she stood in front of the Police Federation making clear there would be cuts. As PM she has been dire relying on meaningless soundbites,wanting to bring back grammar schools and hiding during the EU campaign and now during the election campaign. If that impresses you fill yer boots.
As with Labour the Tories are really short of talent. A younger Ken Clark would be fine but he was never going to be Tory leader because of his pro European views.Of the current crop I am struggling. Davis has some authority but lost out to Cameron in 2005. Beyond them Hammond is just about passable. I have no time for the right wing Brexiteers.
If Clark had become leader I may even have thought the unthinkable and voted Tory. He did a damn good job as Chancellor and didn't get the credit for it.
Don't forget now, not Feedback's not a tory.
Going to the original point of this thread - the tory policy this week appears to be to bleat on about those Johnny Foreigner types who are not playing by the rules in the lead up to the Brexit negotiations, don't they know our strong, stable leader has promised everyone a red, white and blue Brexit?
[QUOTE=ninianclark;4739062]You'd want a young Ken Clark to be leader of the conservatives and in charge of Brexit talks - :hehe: that
Well done. Er yes I would because he wouldn't be pandering to the lowest denominator unlike May. I suspect his approach would bring about a more cordial approach in negotiations but thats lost on you.
So far on this Tory campaign we have had slogans, we have had May refusing to speak to any potential neutral or opposition voter and May attacking our EU neighbors before she (likely result) goes to negotiate with them.
Sorry, I forgot that they also re-issued an Ed Milliband proposed policy. A policy which was heavily criticised when he suggested it but now seems quite alright really.
So now she wants to bring back fox hunting. So with grammar schools back on the agenda what next? The return of the death penalty?
I heard a Lib Dem on the telly yesterday saying raising income tax on high earners doesn't work because they will find ways to avoid it. He then continued to talk about the Lib Dem policy to raise tax by 1p for everyone, surely if the higher earners will find ways to avoid it that just becomes a rise in tax for lower rate payers (and honest people)? I think he didn't spot this irony.
Europe is turning into a red light district, countries flaunting their bits at the dimly lit window trying to lure depraved companies in with low headline rates for a cheap ****ing of its citizens.
Surely we have more to offer businesses than just a low rate of tax?
