    I see today ( according to some peoole / msm/ alt media etc) it's awfy big news and disgusting/degrading etc if we discuss the inability to have children whilst talking about political figures

    My how times have changed

    It's good
    Theresa May’s lack of children has no impact whatsoever on her ability to be Prime Minister, Theresa May isn’t suited to be Prime Minister because of her lack of humanity and basic decency. Andrea Leadsom isn’t suited to be Prime Minister because her CV is even more ficticious and fanciful than the Da Vinci Code, although that never stopped Iain Duncan Smith. IDS claimed he’d been to the University of Perugia when what he actually meant was that he’d visited there one weekend and had an icecream in the piazza with his missus. Andrea Leadsom is really fed up with all the criticisms of her CV. She didn’t have to put up with any of that when she was on tour with the Beatles.

    So Lets have another referendum on independence as quickly as possible.

    It`s time to put this nonsense to bed for good ,I am absolutely convinced that the rational arguments of the educated portion of our Nation will overcome the crazy expectations of the poorly educated and benefit recipient portions of our country.

    "Sturgeon: So, I asked Mr. Juncker if he wouldn't mind replacing the £15Bn/year that England gives Scotland at exactly the time that he's losing the net £13Bn that the UK gives the EU each year.

    May: And what did he say?

    Sturgeon: Something about waiting in line behind Turkey....."

    I hope and I expect May is wary of anything Sturgeon promises. But the "game" is clear. Neither expect Scotland to be able to remain in the Union if the UK Leaves. Sturgeon wants to manufacture a monster whinge and May wants to give her enough rope to be the architect of the failure of Sturgeon's EU "aspirations.".

    By the way did anyone see the crude churlishness of the SNP MPs at this week's PM Question Time, which was otherwise a rather light-hearted occasion? Talk about a bunch of surly misfits.

    I saw the way they refused to applaud Cameron. Even Labour, in particular Dennis Skinner did. You can disagree with people and still respect the effort they put in. They are a vile bunch.

    Asked about the possibility of a second referendum on Scottish independence, Mrs May said: "As far as I'm concerned, the Scottish people had their vote - they voted in 2014 - and a very clear message came through. Both the United Kingdom and the Scottish governments said they would abide by that"
