May or Sturgeon?

I agree with you, BadenKate abut the grammar school quip. I noticed she left it to the end of his last question so he could not respond.

Strangely enough my grandson asked me today which Tory MP I liked. Sarah Wollaston was my response.

However out of the two in the OP, Sturgeon is definitely the most sincere. I never look at their clothes as I am not bothered about superficial matters, just their policies.

You can't help but notice Sturgeon's bright suits though! A bit like the Queen, I suppose, she needs to be seen standing out in a crowd so wears bright clothes. She has certainly lost a lot of weight and so has May, although hers is due to her diabetes being diagnosed I think. I am not so keen on Theresa's clothes.

Right, frippery aside, I prefer Theresa May because Nicola Sturgeon, although sincere, is like a record which is stuck in a groove.

I don't notice whether her suits are brighter than anyone else's, as I am not bothered about fashion. Although I was hoping that May's trousers were not leather, when I saw that picture.

I just feel safer with May in charge. She feels like a proper grown up! Sturgeon is very like wee Jimmy Krankie. I met her once in a corridor. She is tiny and plastered in make up.

A proper grown up
Yes, that is very apt.

Lots of people wear leather and lots of people eat meat.

I am sorry if it offends people, I don't have a leather jacket or, heaven forbid, leather trousers but I do wear leather shoes as anything else is not comfortable on my awful feet.

I have 3 leather handbags! And 3 pairs of leather boots.

So May's better than Sturgeon because she's taller?
How un-grownup.

Did anyone actually say that? No, didn't think so.

No, the poster said she feels safer with May in charge, because May feels like a proper grownup.
She then went on to comment on Sturgeon's appearance as other posters have done but, having seen her, knows what she looks like in RL.

So May's better than Sturgeon because she's taller? Eh? Where was that? How did I miss that? Please could someone point me to that ridiculous post, I don't seem to be able to find it?

I just can't stand her voice,NS that is, it's hectoringingly off putting and getting shriller by the day. As soon as she appears with her mono mantra "Scotland must have another referendum blah blah" We have no choice in our house, but to reach for the remote and remove her disagreeable presence so we can restore our hearing to it's natural equilibrium. God we could have another 18 months or more of her cranking up to internal combustion level Give me Ruth Davidson's modulated tones any day, or even Teresa May's.

I agree Ruth Davidson is a star. To be as well thought of in Scotland despite being the local Tory leader says it all. NS is good at what she does but it's a bit of a one dimensional job really - rousing independence speeches and constant complaints about "the Westminster system" (democracy?). TM is doing pretty well really given her next to impossible job. We could bring in Jezza? Very competent speaker but his politics and the people he has attracted to the Labour party are proving to be its ruin. Outfits ok though!

I heard May on the radio and thought I can't stand her voice.
Far too posh sounding for me. Is it a north/south thing?

I don't have a problem with her voice but there again I am from the Midlands so can sit on the fence. I do think that with women it is the tone, sometimes strident, that can get on one's nerves. I find the tone of her voice fine. There again I like listening to Jacob Rees Mogg, lovely hearing someone speak proper, like.

I dislike May intensely on her record at the Home Office as well as in her current position. I have no opinion on Nicola Sturgeon except that she seems more humane.

I dislike May intensely too. I think she's busy apeing Thatcher and not really up to the job. I read that she's frustrating the civil servants (emotionally and in practical terms) by insisting on reading absolutely everything and gumming up the works of everyday government. Her voice irritates me too.
Nicolas Sturgeon is feisty and humane and would get my vote if I were Scottish.
I reluctantly like Kenneth Clark, am even appreciating John Major but the politician par excellence for me is Caroline Lucas - clear, calm, honest, articulate, unafraid to argue unpopular policies and bravely soldiering on as a lone MP and doing some good work. Oh yes and then there's young Mhairi Black.

What's with all this 'humane' stuff when describing NS? I know that she doesn't go round hitting anyone, but......?
Have never thought that TM sounds particularly 'posh' ,well spoken but surely not posher than Cameron?! No, it's not a North/South divide thing ( I am Northern) but don't expect PM's, Leaders, MP's to speak with strong regional accents/ or speak badly, they need to be understood by all, in person, on the radio, on tv etc.

Once I have got attuned to hearing a Scottish accent, if the person speaks well, then I can understand them, so I can understand NS and Davidson with nae bother, as opposed to say, Rab C Nesbitt ( which is like hearing Russian to me.)

Theresa May every time for me. Although she has yet to be proved as a good Prime Minister, at least I feel she is sincere.
Nicola Sturgeon irritates me every time I see or hear her.
I might have some respect for her capabilities if she did not have such a one track mind. All her efforts are being put into making Scotland independent, whether or not the majority of the people want it. I wish she would concentrate on her job of being first Minister instead of bullying, cajoling and whinging the whole time about Scottish independence. I think she will go on and on and on, ad nauseum, until she gets her own way, regardless.
In short, I dislke her very much.

I don't live in the north or south , my dislike of Sturgeon is her voice grates ,it's harsh and loud. What is posh about May? Is one posh if one doesn't have an accent ? If so there are very few posh people in Scotland ,Wales or N.I.

Oh yes and then there's young Mhairi Black.
Ah well, make the most of her term in office as she doesn't like the political scene and may give up after one term.
Or does she worry she will be out of a job if Scotland becomes independent and wants to get into the Scottish parliament?
Cynical moi?

Theresa May doesn't sound posh, just accentless!

Posh is Jacob R-M

In fact, Corbyn could be accused of sounding 'posh' if the same criteria are applied as you applied to May djen, ie a voice heard over the radio.
But, of course, in reality he is even posher

Jalima I agree, a well modulated accent doesn't equate to posh. Posh is an overused term, few people are, as you say Jacob R-M definitely. Plenty of people speak well, but often accentless.
