The 2017 General Election campaign

[Smangus]

If that's the case the tories will want to ditch her asap

Whereas we would all like to see her found in a ditch, knife in back (winks at Mr Gove).

Has anyone considered the possibility that May might be unwell in some way?

I wondered about this in that Plymouth interview. I thought she was just about keeping the logic of her sentences together, even if she was spectacularly avoiding the questions asked, but she did look wired. Something going on with her eyes. I'm trying to avoid amateur diagnoses here, though Labour will be calculating whether its a good idea to have a go about her health. If there really is something going on, a no more than averagely cynical spin doctor would go for the jugular (Alistair Campbell would already be ring the news rooms). Corbyn, scruples?

 

[Wilf]

I suspect the cunning plan is 'if she gets interviewed she'll fuck up, so don't let her get interviewed'.

When you put it like that...

 

[Nine Bob Note]

She kind of reminds me of Pamela Doove in The League Of Gentlemen

Amber Rudd at last nights debate

 

[Wilf]

Wot? ou saw her working out last Sunday? Or was she just pressing flesh rather than pumping iron?

"Yeah, yeah, Theresa's been spotting for me for a couple of years. She did get banned though for not wearing the right shoes"

Has anyone considered the possibility that May might be unwell in some way?

Yes.
I'm beginning to wonder what stories will be revealed when she's replaced after June 8th. I'm loath to say so, but maybe she is struggling with stress-related MH issues?

 

[chilango]

Maybe she's just realised she's fucked up big time (anything short of a significant increased majority is a defeat for her) and has given up?

Clinton had that wobble during the campaign that Trump and his supporters seized upon, this is all starting to look a bit familiar tbh.

 

[J Ed]

Yes.

Yes, that occurred to me as well as someone who has had problems with MH issues. I don't feel sorry for her though, I hope it is taken advantage of as much as possible and however possible, since her being elected would cause so many others with those very same issues to suffer even more.

Not just May, everyone in cabinet looks like their breakfast cornflakes had piss in them.

and by contrast look at Thornberry, Corbyn, McDonnell, Gardiner. They all look like they are buzzing.

Polonium laced chips.

Exactly; there's no point is wasting sympathy for those that presume to govern us to advance such an anti-social agenda...still feel slightly uncomfortable speculating about MH issues. That said...summat's up.

 

[Pickman's model]

Polonium laced chips.

In the middle's a picture of her with her alien eyes displayed

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I reckon she just needs some sort of pick-me-up

Yep. My twist on that is that if Labour's spin doctors go for her MH, in a way, they are cunts. But fucking hell, she deserves any amount of shit that's coming down the line.

If they can do it in a way that means that they don't come off that way then they should do it. Think about all of the suicides Tory governments have caused because people with MH problems had DLA taken off of them.

 

[chilango]

I don't think there's anything wrong with her.

That said, she made it all about her, and her superior ability to do tough negotiations, so.....

Cue Dr Who meme....

Urgh...@chilango loves Theresa...(repeat walking around playground).

 

[Wilf]

... and if you make the whole thing about your toughness, there's no way you'd run and hide, so there's bound to be speculation about her health.

 

[chilango]

It's just locker room talk...

But... But she's a *tory* there *must* be something wrong with her

 

[Wilf]

By the by, before we get too worked up about this, I can't see any confirmation that she's not doing the interview.

Show us a confirmation that she is doing the interview and we can stop this speculation.

That's the spirit Habeas corpus!

 

[DotCommunist]

Corbyn should go on loose women. They regularly have a male guest who they gently rib and discuss things with. Bradley Walsh was on once and they loved him. Cheekie chappie cockney charm you see

 

[brogdale]

Lot's of tweeter people saying same thing about her being the ultimate *shy tory*.
Mind you, not as good as yesterday's "Bricks it means bricks it."

 

[newbie]

Has anyone considered the possibility that May might be unwell in some way?

I thought that last weekend but no-one seemed to agree.

I've not liked the politics of any of the previous pms, but they've all struck me as being sharp and on the case. She's neither.

 

[danny la rouge]

I suspect the cunning plan is 'if she gets interviewed she'll fuck up, so don't let her get interviewed'.

This is obviously it. Her minders give her stock phrases to say, which she repeats with diminishing relevance when the questions change, she only gets to meet handpicked people, and she won't even do a radio show that Corbyn's already done.
