Or to think that she was showing a 'human' side. I suppose the blatant lying, vindictiveness, incompetence and stubbornness that has characterised her political career could all be claimed to be 'human' but I'm guessing that's not what was meant.

I think it was waving, she could have been counting the lightbulbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Is an utterly appalling, useless PM getting slagged off however she tries to do the shit that she does? Good. Edited October 3, 2018 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 3, 2018 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2018 It's absolutely indicative of this government that someone in the background genuinely had the following thoughts; That it was a good idea in itself to resurrect a risible episode from a few weeks previous that was already well on the way to being forgotten in an attempt to portray her as human Teresa May could carry it off Whoever had those thoughts is stealing oxygen from the planet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She performs the contrived and staged manoeuvre to make herself seem more human, yet the contrived and staged nature of it is palpably obvious and underlines how awkward and stilted she is.
