lol happy birthday to me, plz gift me the PREVAILING OF THE SENSE

Next time a Tory has a go at Sunny Jim Callaghan and brings up the Winter of Discontent point them in the direction of the pair of absolute clowns they've inflicted on the country over the last decade.

Missed the whole thing, watching it back & switched off as soon as she mentioned Sir Nicholas Winterton’a advice, which she completely ignored.

Is any successor going to have her sheer staying power though?

Happy birthday mark s!

mark :D

I think we should have some sort of mega-celebration!!

xxxp
.. and the many springs, summers and autumns of discontent that followed .. to say the least. And also 75% of WoD was under a Conservative government.

this is the first time i noticed the two death-bots sitting in the car with them

sitting in the car with those seats that look a bit like robots i mean DO YOU SEE

still can't stop feeling like the two most likely next PMs are Gove or Johnson as if the last 3 years barely happened - the latter still seeming the worst option

(bday not today btw but 7 june) (ditto tracer's)

No chance of Gove, I'd say.

tbf I keep forgetting Hunt exists

i think, just talking gut feeling here, it will be between Hunt, Mordant and Rudd.

you can get 66/1 on Rudd, history says this is one race the bookies fav's never win.

banter heuristic demands boris obv but even i'm not convinced that our eternal dec 21 2012 has quite reached that level of dementedness just yet

this is his secret weapon

Rudd won’t be in the race, see: her scant majority of 350 or so.

it's a remarkable talent considering the damage he has unleashed during his career of continual upward failures xp

it being hunt is also the secret even-bantzier heuristic

I might dump a load of money on Matt Hancock on the basis he's even more anonymous/stealthy than Jeremy Hunt, except without the baggage.

imagine being this absolutely fucking oblivious

For many years the great humanitarian Sir Nicholas Winton – who saved the lives of hundreds of children by arranging their evacuation from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia through the Kindertransport – was my constituent in Maidenhead. At another time of political controversy, a few years before his death, he took me to one side at a local event and gave me a piece of advice. He said, ‘Never forget that compromise is not a dirty word. Life depends on compromise.’ He was right.

Wait, did Theresa May say that or some other person?

gloomily enjoying the fact that ppl are confusing sir nicholas winton (who saved children and was good not bad) with sir nicholas winterton (who was a mediocre mid-range rightwing tory with no accomplishments in any direction that i can recall or look up):

"Winterton was accused of slapping Labour MP Natascha Engel's bottom. When asked if the accusation was true, Winterton replied: "I'm quite a normal person. Will I slap a colleague on the back, Will I slap a colleague in friendship? The answer is – it is certainly possible."[6]"

yeah, that was may in her resignation speech xp

Such a moving speech I was laughing all the way through it.

xxp

kind of like getting Alan Clarke mixed up with Alan Clark.

now badly wanting it to be discovered that after winton said "life depends on compromise" he threw a milkshake at her and everyone at the local event cheered

RIP. It is always sad when a politician dies while in office. It's best now for Britain if all memory of May is eradicated.

I suspect this is bg's point, but the astonishing thing in that Nicholas Winton mention is not the lines on compromise, but that Theresa Fucking Hostile Environment Fucking May has the gall to bringing up a hero of the Kindertransport.

otm, it's fucking nauseating on every level

This morning on Today they were discussing hostile environment in relation to foreign students wrongly accused of cheating and deported. Presenter mentions wasn't May home Secretary when this happened? Like it is the first time it has occurred to him.

rly makes u think

I wonder what her "Farewell" speech in the commons will be like?

I remember Camro even adding a trib to Corbyn's staying power in his.

Somehow, I imagine hers will be somewhat short.

farewell then, theresa may

we'll remember you like this always

lmao

Oh @theresa_may , why didn’t we see that emotion more? Things could have been so different....
