I can almost see the sweat on your worried brow.

That would be funny if it wasn't so belligerent.
It is very obvious just who is worried.
Just like before the referendum; before Article 50 was put forward .......

Absolutely.
Made of steel and as always, focusing on stuff that matters.
Definitely a sign of a strong and stable leader.

Theresa May 'not very happy' about Liar Liar song

Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, Mrs May revealed that she had "heard bits" of the tune.

She said: "Well, I've heard bits of it and to be perfectly honest I'm not very happy about it.

I honestly will enjoy a Labour Govt to prove once and for all to the British public the naivety of the left. In particular when immigration relentlessly rises and an army of 'refugees' come into Britain, people are going to have a double take moment.

I'd be stressed too. Win or lose she may well end up being the shortest serving Conservative leader apart from Bonar Law who at least had the excuse of resigning due to cancer and dying a short time later.

Amazes me that you as someone freighted of supposed Brexit economic harm are quite prepared to accept the huge socio-economic harm an Abbott / Corbyn Govt will oversee. Division will accelerate under their soft touch ooman rights privileging of cheats and the cunning.


I think a new English Independence movement will come out of nowhere.

Your Remain supporting FT mates say May is the least risk option.

Taking a look down my Facebook and Twitter feed, a lot of the time yes.

There's a lot more talk about the young voting 'smart', whilst among the over 50s there seems to be some talk about not turning out to vote at all.

I've also heard a number of times 'I will be voting, but not for the Conservatives', once from someone in their 60s and once from someone in their 80s, just in the last few days.

All that shows you is not to rely on Faceberk and Plittter for news or opinion.
As if anyone in their right mind does, any way.

(Scots inference there; "Plouter, plitter - wade through mud or water, mess about with water"; the "wade through" bit being the relevant part. Already this post is more educational than your examples, see?)

TBH I really wouldn't take too much notice of social media - there has been huge amounts written about the folly of relying too much on echo chambers from the experiences of 2015.


My Facebook is almost exclusively consisting of left wingers spouting off. My wife is incredibly embarrassed I have just taken to FB to try and get a little conservative input on there. Feels really awkward and incongruous.


Tories aren't blabber mouths and quietly go about their day and this clearly ties in with lefties being far more vocally intrusive in all of the TV audience debates and shows. Same as lefties ransacking American Universities protesting against right wing speakers such as Milo or lefties out in protest following Trumps victory. If Clinton had won you wouldn't have seen mass protest by the right
