Blair, Gove, Clegg, Hesletine, Hammond and Cameron are all effective communicators on TV

To be fair, I do not think May is that bad a TV communicator but her talents are much more in the going than the talking about it. She does come across as a bit of a headmistress in my view.

Personally, I am tired of the sort of spin put out by people like Cameron and Bliar, which meanders around points and hides outright lies.

For me, Mrs May makes a refreshing change, perhaps because I prefer direct people rather than often meaningless advertising hype and similar, of the sort you also get in corporations.

Do you think that May is the epitome of Openness and Honesty?

When compared to Blair; Cameron; Farron; Corbyn; Sturgeon ................. compared to these there can be little doubt that May appears to be a veritable Mother Theresa.

Oh dear, to try and link in Sturgeon is truly a sign of desperation.
I guess we have differing opinions

Anyway, you saw the July 2016 invitation to form a new government



Here's how Theresa May is envisaging the June 2017 invitation

Desperation my aris - it's fact as you well know.
And as the "fish" thread keeps pointing out.


This is how Kleine Zeitung (an Austrian newspaper) sees May:



Much more realistic than your paltry effort, ISTL.

not at all medium size

Your depiction is one I'm not sure how to contemplate.
Are you suggesting that Britain is a rotten tooth that needs to be extracted, never to be of any use going forward?

This is more reality

Only because she's doing her best to stick to the "keep your mouth shut so that no-one realises you have no idea what you're doing" branch of politics. I think she only looks as good as she does because she knows when to say nothing (all the time), and everytime she does open her mouth in public it's a disaster. So did Blair and Cameron, but they didn't seem to appreciate the ability to just keep quiet.

We will have to see how things pan about but If the Tories do much to help low paid workers I will be very surprised.

I posted this in another thread, but this truly depicts to me how Theresa May comes across

Does she know when to keep quiet?

I'm not convinced this approach will deliver the best outcome for the UK.
Its only likely to alienate Europe.
