Yes - I just read that May will be our new PM subject to the 1922 Ctte
approving it.

The odd thing is the scale of the **** ups.

Leadsome is clearly inexperienced to say stuff that got used against her
AND to not be able to dig herself out. eg the "mummy stuff" could
probably have been solved with a decent proper apology. But added to the
CV fiddlery it was getting harder. She probably did the right thing by
stepping down.

Give might have been a candidate with some merit, if he had not made
such a hash of stabbing Boris in the back after saying for ages "Not me,
I'm not PM material"

Boris is just Boris - no one really expected much else, except that he
might actually attempt a leadership challenge. On the day after the
referendum, I tweeted with an @BorisJohnson (or whatever his handle is)
"Do you have the balls to trigger Article 50?"

Apparently not...

Crabb made the huge mistake of being a Christian then doing a Danczuk.


So - pretty feeble showing overall... Or pretty standard for politicians.

Boris gave up when he noticed that he didn’t

Farage resigned because he had got what he had been
campaigning for for more than a couple of decades now
and had always realised that UKIP would be completely
irrelevant once Britain had decided to leave the EU.

That wasn’t done voluntarily in the case of either of them.

I'm starting to view Brexit in a much more cynical light ... I just wrote
elsewhe

I'm idly wondering if there's space for the UK to position itself as a
"not EU" location, and appeal to companies that are wary of putting all
their eggs in one basket.


Makes more sense for them to stay where they are coming
from if they want to do that.

If I was a cynic, I might suspect that a hidden motive of Brexit was to
allow the big boys in various industries to play a non-EU UK against the
EU in a Dutch auction (no pun intended).


Nothing to auction.

Hahahaha - so all the ones who said we were better off out then realised
they hadn't a clue so all decided to leave in favour of one who wanted to
remain. Yup, makes sense; get yourself deep in the mire, know that you
have nothing you can do about it so run away and leave those who didn't
want it in the first place to sort out your mess.

I wouldn't normally post on this kind of topic, rpeferring to restrict
myself to OT subjects like woodwork or brick laying, but really have to

Like I've said, 'Kamikaze politics' and slight-of-hand used to trick
the general public. ;-(

The strange thing is I'm (still) yet to hear or read anything much
positive about leaving the EU (ignoring the empty promises and the
impossible I mean).

As an aside I saw a bit about Denmark and Danish bacon earlier today.
Apparently, after some troubles (involving Germany or Us or summat)
they turned some poor sandy ground into pig farms and we stopped
bothering growing pigs ourselves and bought theirs instead.

I wonder how all the 'Leave because of all the immigrants' builders
will wake up when the price of their bacon sarnies go up?

Even more mindlessly silly than usual from the turnip.

Some of this was opportunistic and some of this was to plan.


I don’t believe that. May is just one of those people who has
enough sense to adopt a low profile but make it clear that
she has real balls and let the other pretenders blow their
own feet right off without her actually doing anything.

It was deftly executed.


Yes.

Machiavelli would have approved.


Nope.

IMO she is nothing special, not bad on actually getting
things done but nothing special policy wise. And it makes
no sense to have someone who would prefer Britain
remains in the EU deciding the detail of how it leaves.

Too much risk of her actually being stupid enough to
cave in to the EU on the stuff that the EU considers to
be non negotiable and end up with something like
what Norway and Switzerland have and ending up with
**** all that the majority who voted to leave want.

Corse the problem for the Torys is that there is no one
anything like her on the leave side in the Tory party.

It remains to be seen if she has the balls to tell the
EU to take their negotiations and shove them where
the sun don’t shine and that Britain will trade under
the WTO rules just like all of the USA, China, Korea,
Japan, India, Canada, Australia etc etc etc all do fine
and wait and see if the eurozone does implode
completely and that sees the EU with one hell of a
bomb under it that may see them get a clue and realise
the the basic structure of the EU isnt working and fix
that and then Britain can join again if it chooses to.

Why would the price of bacon sarnies go up? Because of the exchange
rate? The pound buys more Danish bacon today than it did in July 2013,
and I don't recall any builders rioting then. You're just looking for
myths designed to support your preconceived beliefs.

Meanwhile, in the real world, away from TNP's paranoia, this article
explains why Leadsom's bid failed.

for-andrea-leadsoms-leadership-bid


That's just an avalanche of platitudinous cliches from a tired old hack.
Probably cut-and-pasted from the previous day's Times.

It's childish to dismiss speculation about political shenanigans as
"conspiracy theories". Conspiracies are the norm in party politics.

The point I was making is that its pointless Speed going to all
the trouble of dreaming up yet another new nym, "hango" in this
case, when he immediately gives himself away by resorting to one of
his bog-standard clichés

When had he been careful, he could have strung people along for days
or even weeks, as he sometimes does.

A point which seems to have flown straight over your head,
given you saw fit to forge a new attribution header.


Otherwise, asking him why he bothers is no more useful a question
than it is when asked of any other Usenet poster. You for instance,
why do you bother posting on UseNet ? Or maybe more to the point
why does someone like Tim Streater bother posting on a d-i-y
group when its fairly evident he has no interest in d-i-y at all.
But like one or two others, is merely seeking to push a particular
climate change agenda and in the process boring the pants off
anyone who doesn't share this particular obsession.

Or hadn't you noticed this ?

nobody knows. He goes to huge lengths to prove what a jerk he is.


Nobody knows ? Really ? I'd imagine Speed posts on Usenet same as
most people, as a means of passing the time.

Like all trolls he doesn't actually care whether people think he's
a jerk or not. A point which seems to have completely escaped every
self-appointed "Trollfinder General", since the inception of UseNet.

And why should he ? Why should anyone make it a be all and end
of their lives, to be liked or admired by a group of total
strangers on UseNet, people they'll never ever meet, many of whom
may be stupid beyond belief, for all they can tell?

This may indeed be the basis upon which most social media, and
resulting fortunes are based; but that merely shows how insecure
many people really are.

Maybe you're to young to remember the wrestling on Saturday
afternoons. There was one guy I remember Adrian Street;
looked like a prototype Peter Stringfellow with long blonde
hair. He dressed in bright coloured lycra and spent most of
the time prancing around the ring running his fingers through
his hair, whole making dirty moves behind the referee's
back. He was often matched against "Honest Joe Hardcastle from
Bradford" types who wore plain trunks and boots and were
no match for Street. Anyway the women hated him. Week in
and week out they'd be there, screaming at him, pointing and
shaking their handbags at him. Maybe if they caught him outside
of the dressing room they really would have handbagged him
to death. And Street just lapped it all up, same as many
other wrestlers who forged a career out of being hated.

Well that's who yourself, Tomlinson, Huge etc most remind me
of, to be honest. A load of old women sat ringside, jumping
out of your seats screaming and pointing and shaking your
handbags; as Speed prances around the ring running his
fingers through his hair.

Either that or standing outside the hall in the rain, with
big notices saying "Don't Go In, Its All Fixed".

As if anyobody really cares.

Yes the playground is now Westminster, which I've often likened it to
before.
The public in general are taking the **** both here and in the states by
voting people in who are disliked by their parties or who just happen to be
around when **** happens.

Who needs big brother when its all happening in the corridors of power
around the world.

I suppose if you say this often enough, you might even persuade yourself
it was true.

But instead of talking your usual ****e, you could ask your own
politicians just why they are so desperate to do deals with other
countries.
