Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[Old Skier]

She has got nothing to do with a Westminster election - why on earth would she be there? If she had been there you'd have been complaining that she had no right to be there.

Your now telling me what I would have said. I know you have a poor understanding of certain words and phrases and put your own interpretation on them but one thing I would prefer you to refrain from is telling me what I might or might not say or post.

Not the forum's strong suit really!

I'm not sure that Angus Robertson can get away with making digs about May not being there when he's there instead of Nicola Sturgeon.

I'm not surprised that our SNP supporters on here that have been criticising May for not taking part in the debate haven't been quite so vocal about Sturgeon not being there.

Also not surprised at those congratulating Corbyn on changing his mind and taking part and at the same time saying that if May had done the same it would have been another U turn from her.

Interesting to see such which forummers are happy to publicly display their double standards.

Personally I'd of liked to have seen her turn up. As I would liked to have heard what she has to say.

Couldn't give a rats ass if people would have called it a u turn or not. As that is not the important point really, what the potential leader of this country has to say is more important to me rather than parties bickering over u turns. Turn up, defend and debate you manifesto against fellow politicians.

But alas we were not treated to her appearance.

Perhaps with it being a "leader's debate" and with her being leader of the SNP? I've got no problem with her not being there, in the same way I have no problem with May not being there, but for the SNP representative to have a dig about the Conservative leader not being there while he was there instead of his own leader is blatantly double standards.

I'm not a fan of the debates and I really don't care about her not being there - we seem to be becoming more Americanised with our politics, style over substance, and the debates are just one symptom of that. And equally I really don't care about these debates, which have been very poorly moderated and less about debating and more a bun fight with people shouting over each other. Really wish that politicians of all parties would shut up and allow others to answer the questions they've been asked and then respond to that rather than talking over each other and trying to score cheap points.

It is a Westminster election and Angus is SNP Leader in the Westminster Parliament makes total sense to anyone with even a fleeting knowledge of UK/Scottish politics.

May on the other hand is just scared, not something you would ever consider calling Nicola Sturgeon.:lol:

So dear old Angus is a leader, taking his lines from another leader.... aye right. Now that really makes sense. No wonder Scottish politics is a mess. Or is Sturgeon an equal to Nuttall, not a real MP?

I see Tmay, when asked why she was not defending her policies at the debate, criticized Corbyn for spending to much time on TV and saying he should be concentrating on Brexit instead.

This from the PM who called an election when she said she wouldn't and did not need to, which had meant she has had to appear on TV a lot instead of focussing on Brexit.....

I know, you couldn't make it up with this clown of a PM. Well done Amber Rudd though, stood in and took the flak, fought hard and this despite losing her father only a couple of days before - respect.

As for raucous point-scoring tone and style of the tv debates it's little different to PMs questions in the Commons so hardly an excuse for TM not to turn up.

I see your knowledge of politics is on par with your lack of knowledge of geography and history. I understand that the Scottish education system is in collapse but I thought that was a recent problem.

Its not a Westminster election, it's an election for seats in Parliament and for the geography challenged that just happens to be in Westminster.

It was a leaders debate (more like a shout out in the end), I understood that the SNP Leader was a woman so it's a fail just like it turned out to be a fail for the Tory Party. The only difference being May leads a major party as opposed to a small one so the damage could be greater. That will become more obvious in a weeks time when we see if the population like rant TV.

Completely agree with this. If she needed to concentrate on Brexit then she shouldn't have called the election. She's made herself look ridiculous with that one.

Or like their potential leaders to have the guts to defend their manifesto with fellow potential leaders. Tomaarto, tomayto...

I do find that a bit weird. I know she wanted to do it and it is up to her, but surely everyone would have understood if she would have dropped out as you need time to grieve and be with your family at those times.

It's like some macho culture where you can't seem to be weak and to be honest kind of plays into the stereotype of the tories being kind of not the most caring and compassionate of people. How difficult would have it have been for TMay to say, your father has died but 48 hours ago, this is a leaders debate, I am the leader so I will step up to the plate. Strong leadership?????

She's a gutless liar who I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw her..... Corbyn is a car crash waiting to happen.

I cannot believe we'll end up with either of these idiots running the country.

As a wise man once said, we're all doomed!

They always say what happens in the states soon transfers across to Europe. Very few in politics are there for anything but themselves. Started in the 90's IMHO. There's not a decent party leader amongst any of them.

Stolen from Twitter but the only person TMay has debated with on TV is her husband. Strong and stable...

Ahint of Clinton 'v' Trump? Neither looking good enough...

12 months ago we had a vote about something...I forget what, where one side thought they'd win and said nowt and the other side fought hard and gave the people some figures to think about. Now what happened there? Notice anything? TM had better wake up and smell the smelly stuff or I can see her dream being just that.

Weren't they all rubbish last night?

Especially that woman in red. Jesus H Christ get back in the kitchen where you belong.

Yup politics at its worse. These TV debates seem to be the lowest form of broadcast going. Presenters concentrate on their own persona and appearing intellectually superior and the candidates just want to maximise their camera time. Content is next to B all.

Its more than a bit sad that the UK is led by such a moronic selection of the population.
