I’m glad she is in the House of Lords. I certainly do not share her politics nor do I agree with her on undoubtedly many issues. But she is a serious person who takes her role seriously and recognises the importance of it. Anyone who puts work into tackling modern slavery can’t be all bad. She did her absolute best to square the circle in trying to make Brexit work but was ultimately stuck between a rock and a hard place. While I never particularly liked her, I respected her and still do. All the time we have the political system that currently stands, I really do want serious people to be discussing the serious things. And I want someone articulate to argue a well-reasoned counter point to challenge things. The biggest mistake we can make in life is to be so blind in thinking that we are always right. We have to be open to the possibility that we are wrong sometimes. Having someone properly challenge our way of thinking may help us realise that things aren’t always as simple and clear cut as we initially think or feel. We may well end up coming to the same conclusion but we may potentially change our mind for the better. And I think this is good. But maybe I’m wrong! 😂
The idiot put 110% effort into defying the wishes of the electorate after a once in a lifetime referendum. She'll rot away slowly in that tomb, where nothing of significance actually occurs. Good enough for her.
I am not a “fan” of the HoL but I do recognize that some of its members are trying hard to do good things for us all. I do believe that Theresa May will do well in this Place! And I wish her well
@@KaiserFranzJosefI incorrect. Prior to David Cameron being given a life peerage when he became Foreign Secretary under Sunak, the last PM to be given a peerage was Thatcher. John Major, Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown all rejected a peerage. And of course, neither Chamberlain nor Churchill received a peerage, but that was due to their desire to remain in the commons. MacMillan didn't receive his peerage until 21 years after he resigned as PM.
You think anything of significance comes out of that place? A guaranteed retirement income for the old boys club, while they pretend to make a difference. About sums it up.
@@justaguy7517 Au contraire; I’d much rather be a naive optimist than a bitter cynic. I didn’t agree with the political decisions that she made while in office but that does not mean that Theresa May is an ambitious, self-serving, venal woman: she is a woman of honour who is trying her best to serve her country as she sees it. Disagreeing with someone’s political views is one thing; painting them as a monster is naive and frankly, childish.
Was she? In the grand scale of things, she seems pretty much middle of the road. Considering that the Prime Ministers we've had so far this century are: a war criminal, the man who crashed the economy, a pigfucker, an actual criminal, the woman who crashed the economy, and a couple of wet rags, she's probably fairly high up the rankings by process of elimination.
It was a push in the right direction but things have got considerably worse since. She was an odd choice for prime minister who was put in place to unify the conservatives. Everything in this country for the last fourteen years has been about Tory drama plain and simple
She is a former Prime Minister. While, yes, I appreciate to much cronyism goes on with regard to the HoL it still, by and far, is the professional house of our parliament
@@georgewashington4394 A rotory club, almost literally. Very questionable practices with very shady exchanges. Contrary to nobility, but shrewd... for the empire of course ;) Tell me, what is professional about insulating 'yourself' while there is a lack of nobility in the HoL? I know real noble people, and they are better than the HoL, and have turned down the title because of what it is now.
@@JT-si6bl It hasn't been a house for the nobility in almost 30 years. It's there to ensure legislation is actually checked. Does it have problems, yes. Are there people in the Lords who shouldn't be there? Yes. But please stop being an idiot about the whole thing.
She is far from perfect and didn’t succeed when given the role of breaking a successful Brexit agreement; but I think generally speaking her heart is in the right place and she is easily the best prime minister the uk has had in well over a decade
Oh, dear. As a Scot with a genuine Scottish (Glaswegian) accent, I'm tempted to tell her to stick to her day job, but she's a Tory. Better retire, hen. You've got a fat pension anyway. Abolish the house of lords and the monarchy!
Who brought you the Snoopers Charter ? Allowed National Grid to be sold to Chinese and Qatar government investment arms, introduced additional tax for 5 years for cars over 40k ?
She actually did a pretty good job negotiating a deal with the EU. She didn't have the support of her party because May understood how stupid Brexit was in the first place, and how even dumber it would be to pursue what Jacob Rees-Mogg wanted.
@@jasonkoch3182 The UK only needs non stop immigrants to do the jobs that the lazy indigenous population refuse to do. This was the chance to get fat tattooed people off their arses and working but instead the pathetic weak government did nothing with the opportunity. Yes, surprisingly I am a second generation immigrant married to a non white child of immigrants and nearly all my friends are immigrant children who like me voted to leave. The English have limited interest in business or education that’s why hard working immigrants like Indians can go from corner shop to Doctor in one generation.
@@edmundprice5276 no Mrs May. She tried to do her job but had a ungrateful country to lead. Now they made their bed (of nails) and have to sleep in poverty.
@@rayc9539 As far as i know she wanted to deliver what the voters wanted and what could have been acceptabele to the European Community but that was not what Farage and Partners wanted for their own gains and not for the country.. They wanted the hard Brexit so then she had to change her plans.
Actually, not even close. I mean granted, it's not saying much, but she's well ahead of both Johnson and Truss, and ahead of Sunak, and likely ahead of Cameron.
Shows how little you know. The House of Lords is designed to argue with the House of Lords in order to make sure the proposed bills are in the best interest of the people.
@@MattSuguisAsFondAsEverrr Lots of fake rāpë accusations get people arrested with zero effort, this is an overcorrection from in the 50s and 60s lots of people who actually did that got away with it because the authorities made it a low priority. In a few decades when people who grew up with false accusation story after false accusation story after false accusation story start replacing the Boomers the overcorrection the other way will cancel it out and then the cycle repeats. The dinosaurs in power remember house prices that were not insane, labour shortages and the value of a university degree before they Wēīmār inflationed the valve of a degree
@@Henry-xu5jg The Lords, whom are all wealthy and come from positions of politics or business, are supposed to argue in favour of the people? Where have they been for the last 3 decades while the countries gone down the shitter?
Possibly one of the best backbenchers in history... Certainly a top MP for her constituents for nearly 3 decades. She just got put forward as PM in a wrong time.
Not her fault British voters shot themselves in the foot and voted to leave one of the largest economic pacts in the world. She had to make lemonade from the moldy, rotten lemons Brexiteers gave her.
@@angusyoung7094 Some think she was good at implementing the Labour party's policies despite being from the other party. Others think there's no meaningful difference between the two parties
@@Michael-j4l3dThere was in Corbyn’s tenure and not under Starmer. He keeps the Tory 2-child benefit cap and ditches the universal WFA introduced by Labour.
