May loved the poor so much that she decided that Britain needed many more of them, and so she set about achieving at least one thing as Alston has shown us.
How broken can someone be to simply prefer resigning as Prime Minister than to do what the voters told her to do. Think about it. That's a genuine Grade A Bitch right there. Good riddance. For the next guy, WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT BREXIT. YOU WORK FOR US. IT'S CALLED A PUBLIC SERVANT. FOLLOW ORDERS.
@stray dog7 So true, being a disabled lady in chronic pain every day. Suffering under the 'care system' or lack of it. At 61 I can't wait to be dead now.
My impression (solely) from this video is that she is a little too introvert and logical (i.e. not emotional enough) to be the PM, but I am not denying that she has always been very sincere and hard working.
She went to Wales and acted shocked when she got heckled in a generally anti conservative area. Was she really as intelligent as the tories claimed? Answer: *No*
Just some context: Papers such as the Daily Mail have for many years made a thing of commenting on her choice of footwear when she appears on stage at the annual Tory conference. She is well-known for favouring brightly coloured kitten heels and seems to have deliberately made this one of her few distinguishing features.
It's not just that she was introverted and shy as this piece makes it out to be. She was just not a good politician period. She spurned dialogue and consensus-building until it was too late to make a difference. Didn't budge an inch from her positions however unworkable they were. While any PM would have difficulty with the hand she was dealt, they probably wouldn't completely alienate their party and leave the job in tears, as May has done.
the next doesnt have to do anything. They can contain it or not. evil not-so-genius rees mogg could get a real kick out of blasting cocaine into this oppressive and aggressive political f**kfest. Idealism is all that can save us now, but that would take a faith i dont think we could have as a country. her bowing out could likely be the next beginning of the end
Not a disaster at all, all perfectly executed to plan. She was a puppet as the next PM will be, ordered to destroy UK & turn it into an open air prison.
Thatcher and May were risen to to power during a turbulent era of the conservative party. Thatcher was lucky with the Falklands war and cemented her position. May was less lucky.
It takes real skill to make the wrong decision *every single time* She approached brexit as damage mitigation instead of focusing on making it a success. So gave away so much in the WA for nothing in return
Loathed the woman, but beg to differ on her incompetence. * Rock solid record on non-EU mass immigration both as Home Secretary & PM * Unstinting support for two murderous wars in Syria and Yemen * Successfully perpetuated the Putin-villain narrative with the Skripal affair in the total absence of any supporting scientific evidence * Skilfully transitioned Brexit from a remain/leave issue to a deal/no-deal issue * Delayed it by 3 years in direct contradiction of the democratic will of the nation * Neatly prepared the way for a successor who will do the same From a Globalist's point of view, what more could one ask? 10/10.
Never an honest word on the lips of BBC nor May. Really dont know what to believe.Listening and deciding not to listen to both parties makes you both misinformed and uninformed...
Are we really supposed to feel sorry for this excuse of a PM? I had serious reservations about her when she was Home Secretary and nothing I've seen in the last 3yrs makes me well up with grief now that she's going. Good ridance, Corbyn next God willing.
She literally did nothing in 3 years. In 3 years I heard nothing about unemployment, homelessness, the education system or anything. All she's managed to do is ruin whatever relationship we had with Europe
I agree that no one could have negotiated BREXIT with the EU. The EU had to punish the UK for daring to try and leave. Had they not, the queue of leaving member states would rival the daily traffic jams on the autobahn from the Channel to Berlin. Finally, comparing the current state of the UK to the English civil war is pure hyperbole on BBC's part and earns an *_“UNSUBSCRIBE.”_*
Not impossible at all. She could've changed the composition of Parliament very much to her advantage in 2017 (thereby enabling her to get her non-Brexit passed), but she lost her opportunity because she has poor judgment. She had victory in her hands but threw it away.
@Daniel Roig Are you mentally deficient? Or perhaps you just like to dismiss facts in favour of "yeah well I don't believe you". On the subject of Northern Ireland, I really don't give a shit, and bringing that up just proves how little you know about the subject at hand and how you would rather alter the main point.
@Jimmy Green What Blair did going into the Iraq war was worse, but many of his domestic policies were a success. On the other hand May has been completely ineffectual, I have never seen this level of incompetence in a PM! To be so bitterly ousted by you're own party after such a short term is unbelievable. She has failed on Brexit, the NHS, the police, the Windrush scandal you name it and she has completely failed at it, she may well cry, she's been bloody useless!
@Jimmy Green well technically George Bush is a mass murderer it was his government and Intel that started the Iraq war do you honestly think Britain would have gone in by itself? The other members of the "coalition" simply went in to carry favour with the Americans, something we should not have done! I was against it at the time and still think it was a terrible decision. But my comments on May are about the fact that she failed at everything she is certainly the most ineffectual PM in modern history, which to me means worst! Ps we shouldn't have gone into Iraq but Bush was adimant and even if the Americans went in unilaterally the same thing would have happened they didn't need us!
I remember Wednesday 13th July 2016 when Theresa May stood at the steps of 10 Downing Street. I had a tiny bit of hope that she could command an orderly exit from the EU. I voted to remain, but I accept the majority vote in the 2016 referendum. What I can't understand is how one woman could make such a pigs breakfast of the whole EU exit? Three years she had, and she leaves as one of the worst ever British Prime Ministers ever!
To say the truth, I have never been a loyal fan of the BBC, but with this decent analysis of an enigmatic May, enabling me thereby to grasp at the richness of her real character, you have sort of made me reconsider my directionless media drifts !
"Wants to do the very best for the people of Britain" unless you are a Northern Ireland Veteran, then she will throw you to the wolves. And when demonstrations take place such as Rolling Thunder when 22,000 Bikers many of whom were veterans themselves invaded the area of Westminster the BBC felt it wasn't worthy of reporting.
I remember 2016... no one really wanted to be PM because it was a dumpster fire but May stepped up... the other conservatives knew not to seek the position ... unfortunately what is needed is a charismatic leader that can build consensus and adapt to what the people want... which is no Deal Brexit
This is what happens to all politicians when they forget they are supposed to be doing what the people expect them to do, rather than listening to the sleazy "Yes Men" who are drawn to powerful people and spend their entire careers whispering in the politician's ears. Pro Tip: You are there to press the Will of the People. We don't elect you because we're really too stupid to govern ourselves. We don't think the world is just too complicated for us to figure out. And we sure as hell don't want you making policy decisions based upon your personal desires rather than ours.
People are stupid. Look at how outraged and insecure a particular type of person gets when you tell them this truth. They become even more entrenched and emotional. Does that sound like somebody that uses their brain?
@@bganonimouse2754 What it sounds like is some people are control freaks, and believe they know what's best for everyone else. I say people should have a say in their own destinies. I don't blame the "stupidity" of people who don't see the world as you do. I blame you for your inability to effectively explain to people why your idea is better. In May's case - she failed miserably to convince others she has a better plan.
@@ronlawrence5021 If you don't want to elect people to carry out the will of the people then start a revolution. Its pretty simple. If you want mob rule then abolish democracy in the name of the people. People are stupid and I note you don't dispute this. They are easy to manipulate which is why the advertising industry is so wildly profitable. Why would you blame for not effectively selling my "idea" to others? Very strange comment when you consider the manipulation needed in order to make a sale. And even more strange considering I haven't expressed an opinion on Brexit.
@@bganonimouse2754 Of course some people are stupid. That doesn't mean they don't have the right to expect their elected representatives to press their interests. And it does not relieve those who would rule of the responsibility of convincing those they rule that their ideas are well founded - and ultimately in the best interests of the people. Oh.....and unless you're Theresa May in disguise, I couldn't give a toss what your opinion is on Brexit.
@@ronlawrence5021 That is the difference between us. I couldn't care less whether politicians are convincing or not. Ineffective project fear or effective NHS funding lies, are still bullshit. You can give a round of applause to the most effective salesman. Not me. What concerns me is the end result of any given policy, based on as much evidence as we have. Is the claim true or not? I have little confidence in the public to be able to see the wood from the trees. Well, it was interesting to see your perspective in any case. You may not give a toss about my view, but this probably says more about you than it says about me.
Not really the EU that arent the real problem,. its parliament math. even if the EU gave the UK everything, labour wouldnt vote for it, nor would the other parties, 20 tory Mps voting against any deal, means the Tory have to hope other MPS from other parties vote for it No deal or no brexit is all thats left, you forget the Torys have grieves etc who are arch remainers. MATH
To be clear, the snap election wasn't inherently a catastrophe. It was a catastrophe specifically for May because she was totally unprepared to run a successful campaign. Nobody's saying the election itself was a bad thing.
The Tories have proven they have no place leading... Also this is a disgraceful reflection on May's legacy, she failed to get no deal off the table, and much like May, this video blames EVERYBODY else for her and her parties shortcomings. Seriously, people didn't hate her because "she had no personality", people hated her because she had no vision, no direction to take the UK in, all she had were excuses (unless it was policy/legislation which fucked over the already impoverished, then she would happily and silently get shit done)
Hazel Booth It would have helped if the UK had had any sort if negotiating power. Brexit promises to be economically devastating for the UK, and is almost certain to cause both Scotland and NI to peel off within 10-15 years. The UK needs a good relationship with the EU, needs good ties, needs strong economic links...otherwise its economy sinks. This is why Rees Mogg is telling us it'll take fifty years to see these fictional benefits of Brexit. Because there aren't any. The EU on the other hand will be hurt, but it has ten times the size and power and economy of the UK. It can absorb ten times the damage. The 5% of trade the EU has with the UK is minute compared with the 45% of UK trade that goes to the EU. And that is without counting all the jobs and FDI that will divert from the UK into Europe. Long term, several nations of the EU will benefit. What on earth could the UK offer the EU to justify the EU killing itself? The UK has no real negotiating power with the EU. It can hurt, it can cause pain...but little more. This is not, and never will be, a negotiation between equals. And Brexiters need to stop thinking that. The UK is a middle sized economy...seventh largest in the world, and overall, that means nothing because the only economies that matter are the US, China and the EU. And neither the US nor China will go as easy on the UK as the EU are doing.
Her Premiership has shown how rotten, corrupt and ineffective the political system in this country has become, and how absolute the need for reform is. If there is to be a new democratic system in this country that is accountable to the people then we must look at the failures and abuse of power that took place during her time as Prime Minister.
It's too soon to write Theresa May's legacy. She was dealt a difficult hand, and didn't prove a shrewd enough politician to play it. Of course she was a bad Prime Minister, but never forget, it can always get worse. Things are never so bad that they can't get worse.
Weed Fields more than likely. Considering its illegal to grow in this country, funny how her husband's company has a "special" license to grow it and ship to the US for profit. Funny how many ex PMs and MPs have something waiting on the side for when they leave.
Worse prime minister EVER! And i never thought i would say this but Edward Heath could of done a better job then her! And im a Harold Wilson supporter!
