The 2017 General Election campaign

[Poi E]

May is a technocrat in a world that has moved to suspicion of the uniformity of the politician cosseted by advisors. I'll wager Corbyn took a look at Trump and saw that idiosyncrasies play well at the moment; a stage managed figurine does not.

or maybe people are just bored with the same auld same auld

 

[Poi E]

I wonder if May was flattered by the hackneyed Thatcher comparisons trotted out by the press. Or did she just start to curl up and die from that moment on?

Corbyn has a lot of walls.

He has also moved decidedly from a New to an Old Testament demeanour, should have done it in 2015!

Holy crapamoly! Weirdo.

check out those sunken eyepits and eyebags as well. I don't need to see that except when I'm shaving.

Hahahaha

 

[killer b]

this is the actual transcript from May's interview with the Plymouth Herald.

 

[killer b]

whoops actually not. How embarassing.

This is the full thing. Not much better.

The questions put to Theresa May that Plymouth wanted answered

 

[NoXion]

If she was any more clear she'd be totally transparent. Oh wait.

 

[agricola]

Q: Do you agree with Boris Johnson about the audience at last night’s debate being the most leftwing he had seen?

May says Amber Rudd did an excellent job in the debate.

Q: Did you watch the debate?

May says Amber Rudd did an excellent job in the debate.

 

[Teaboy]

Fucking hell. I know modern politicians are drilled to incredible levels to be on-message but she just seems incapable / fearful of answering the most basic of questions.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Oh, she's back to strong and stable. She looks and sounds absolutely petrified

fucking margaret thatcher could do a better job than may. and she's been dead for four years.

 

[frogwoman]

where can I watch this?

 

[Teaboy]

This is exactly what I'm thinking. She's supposed to be selling herself as the tough hardened negotiator but she can't even pat back a half volley from a local journo talking about transport links. She'll be eaten alive.

This is good too:

'Three minutes of nothing': Reporter reflects on PM encounter

She had and given me absolutely nothing. It was like a postmodern version of Radio 4's Just A Minute.

I pictured Nicholas Parsons in the chair: "The next topic is how Plymouth will be affected by Brexit, military cuts and transport meltdown. Theresa, you have three minutes to talk without clarity, candour or transparency. Your time starts now."

 

[Wilf]

Oi, Theresa, what's your favourite colour?
- I've made my position clear on...
Do you like marmite?
- What this country needs...
Can you at least tell us where you went on that walking holiday?
- Stability is important at this time...
Have you just farted?
- Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, under my leadership...
In the formula E=MC2, what does E stand for?
- I faced Jeremy Corbyn at Prime Minister's Question Time...

Corbyn needs to pull out the 'no more hand holding with Donald Trump' line

i don't give a fuck about her, it's all of us she'll really be shitting on.

 

[frogwoman]

where can I watch this q and a? I love seeing her made a fool of tbh.

Corbyn needs to make more of the Trump-May links really, he did a bit of it at the start of the campaign but it seems like a good way to further toxify the May brand.

Tory commentator rips into the tory campaign

There have been plenty of dud Conservative campaigns down the decades, in which squabbles spilled over in the final weeks. Yet even accounting for the eternal tendency of Tories to moan, this latest effort from the Conservative Party ranks as possibly their worst general election campaign since before the war. By which I mean the First World War.

After this mess, Mrs May needs a relaunch

Theresa May loses Jobseeker’s Allowance for failing to turn up for interview

Theresa May has today had her Jobseeker’s Allowance stopped for failing to turn up for an interview.

Mrs May, who is applying for the post of Prime Minister, was repeatedly warned that failing to turn up for an interview would harm her chances of receiving benefits.

Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson Simon Williams said, “It’s very simple – to show us that jobseekers are serious about a job we expect them to attend interviews and answer questions so that we can gauge their suitability for the post.

“Otherwise we assume that they’re not up to the job, or just work-shy bastards, and dock their money.

“We might have to give the job to someone else now, though fuck knows who. This is the worst shower of applicants I’ve ever seen.”

Mrs May defended her decision not to turn up, saying that she was dead busy and they never sent her a letter or nothing and anyway she sent her mate Amber along who’s dead good at interviews and aced it for her.

A relaunch into fucking space

fucking margaret thatcher could do a better job than may. and she's been dead for four years.

Maybe if Theresa May used Thatcher's decomposing corpse as a ventriloquist's dummy she could have it do and say all the things she's apparently too stiff and awkward to do and say herself.

Just imagine her making it loom at people like Rod Hull did with Emu, going 'can't you stay at least ten feet away from me, you revolting proles?' in a spooky dead-Maggie voice without moving her lips.
