When is she going to do something right? From the Middle East to the NHS everything she touches turns to dust. In a few short months she is turning out to be a disaster.

Just out of couriosity, do you think if she ignored the referendum result or diluted the country wouldn't be divided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Although I am a Ukipper, I think May is doing just fine. Not sure how she is to blame for "dividing the Nation" though. The remoaners are doing a fine job of that, instead of getting behind Brexit, which will happen. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacktari Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just out of couriosity, do you think if she ignored the referendum result or diluted the country wouldn't be divided? It is obvious the country has always been divided. This referendum has just brought it to a head. It is just showing that, in reality, democracy in the raw is unworkable. There will always be people who dispute the result, and have right to. Anyone who thinks it will all be fine and dandy, and everyone will tow the line, does not know Englishmen very well. However, the question is, what is Theresa Mays purpose in all this. She was made PM, unelected, even by her own party, let alone by a General Election. Now once again her judgment is brought severely into question, firstly by paying this man a million pounds when she was Home Secretary, then losing track of him when she is PM. Can she be trusted with other things, her eye is one particular goal it seems, and everything else is going to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't paid a million pounds, a million pounds was awarded to a group of four men of which he was one so it was divided by four and included the legal costs of the men. This man also lived for 10 years in Britain after the compo was paid without any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the point, stop side-tracking. The question is:- Is Theresa may's judgement flawed? If she is wrong in this, she will be wrong in other things, and with her pathetic government, and the fawning attitude of the opposition she will continue to get away with it.

Anna B Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I thought she seemed OK at first, said all the right things, and isn't 'one of the club.' So far, so good. But she hasn't done very much beside talk, and judging by her performance in the House of Commons for Prime Ministers questions, she's just another vicious David Cameron MK2.

Robin-H Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Did May make that judgement or did she pay out reluctantly after a court case? It was the advice of government lawyers and independent QC's. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/nov/16/guantanamo-bay-prisoners-compensation I'm not sure why the paying of compensation is the big issue here. Surely the bigger issue is they way the Labour government acted that required compensation be paid? "The payout is bound to be seen as a blow to the reputation of the former foreign secretaries David Miliband, Margaret Beckett and Jack Straw for allegedly eroding civil liberties. Their reputations will turn more on the outcome of the Gibson inquiry." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
