Is she delusional?

I can't see one other politician throughout the whole of the UK who has even a smidgen of the courage, tenacity or downright guts that TM has. For that alone she has my admiration. Paddyann, I think you need to look up the word 'evil' and you might discover that not one politician in the UK whatever party they represent is 'evil'. It's a horrible word reserved for people like Hitler, Stalin Pol Pot, Kim Jung Un, Chairman Mao etc. I don't think TM has sent people on hunger marches, murdered millions in Gulags concentration camps and by mass starvation, shot people on a whim, or virtually exterminated a whole nation - people who perpetrate those sort of atrocities are evil not people you disagree with politically.

Sincere decent compassionate well who would have thought it. Must be something wrong with my dictionary.

I just can't understand how ANYONE can admire Theresa May!

Possibly she has her politic beliefs because for her they are the answer to help those in need. I can't share them but I too believe she is a compassionate woman, and though I couldn't vote for her party I do admire her

I despise the tory way ...

I despise the tory way ...

not delusional ,downright EVIL .....destroying peoples lives daily while giving tax incentives to her rich pals .Allowing companied to dodge taxes and yet taking money off the sick,the old the disabled...the vulnerable .I await her new law to kill off anyone who needs help from the state ...of course that wont affect her OR her family and friends ...but hey the poor and teh sick are worthless so we can do without them ...in her eyes

It seems par for the course that someone who goes to Church, professes to follow a Christian faith is accused of hypocrisy, being deluded and generally derided. I don't support Theresa May's politics, I wish her party had not won the election and hope they lose the next one.

I believe she is a caring and compassionate woman but her political beliefs don't support those in need. I know, it sounds contrary but that's how it is.

Vote them out at the earliest opportunity would be a good start.

Well said radicalann. I think Theresa May is a caring and compassionate woman, but her hands are tied in many ways. What are WE going to do to make things better!

hipsy, it hasn't stopped . Still kennels for the poor hounds,why? To go drag hunting ? These dogs rarely get past age five, they are shot, younger dogs have been bred ready to take their places.

Anniebach Couldn't have put it better.

Fox hunting ,protection? No. Sport? No. Thrill of the chase? Yes . Thrill of seeing the fox torn apart? Yes.

Dog fighting which is two dogs fighting, perhaps to death is illegal.

A crowd of people on horseback, blowing of a horn to whip up excitement. Rubbing the dead animals face on a child taking part in their first kill. Watching the fox at point of collapse , eyes showing great fear . Let's make it legal again.

As one girl explained in an interview before the ban - it's better than an orgasm

No nightowl Foxhunting was never about protection

No she’s not delusional, she is simply a believer in all the principles on which the Conservative party is founded, including the free market, an unregulated economy, a belief in personal wealth and maintaining the status quo, the class system and privilege for a few.

Within this there have always been wealthy philanthropists who believe it is either their Christian or civic duty to help those less fortunate than themselves but without allowing them to enjoy the same privilege as the rich, or to rise beyond their allotted station in life. I think Teresa May is firmly of that mindset.

As far as fox hunting is concerned, does anyone truly believe it exists in order to protect chickens?

Nailed it radicalnan and lilyflower, 100%

Well said Fennel and Lilyflower

I am shocked by some of the commments on this thread about TM. Yes, she bodged the election and, no, I do not support her views and policies in many cases. But she is, no doubt, a sincere and decent person as one would expect of a vicar’s daughter. Tribalism seems to rob people of the ability to be rational and nuanced. Just because someone does not support the same political party as one’s own, it doesn’t render them completely bad, or, indeed, completely anything.

radicalnan If you protect your chickens you wouldn,t have to worry about the foxes

I agree, radicalnan.
Although I don't like the principles of the party she belongs to, I think she's taking her duties as a PM seriously, and plodding on against great odds. As most of us women do.

Well said radicalnan.

Sorry but nothing more, you offered goodwill and it was rejected . Did you unintentionally say something to upset your friend ? Perhaps she wants/needs an apology .

If they have an addiction their moods are going go up and down, perhaps you have to accept this . I wish all goes well for you

Well out radicalnan.

People are people - faults, warts and all - TM no different. I'm more concerned that our next door neighbours on both sides are behaving like spoilt brats - on one side used to baby sit and we were mates, but she went a bit doolally - the other side has always been odd. Both sides are druggies, but we have to live together, so I put cards through both doors suggesting that we build bridges. The ex-friend when I saw her this morning and wished her a happy Christmas cut me dead. What, if anything, can I do?

It's Christmas - the supposed season of goodwill so for goodness sake put your personal soap boxes away!! For all the things wrong with this country we can still be proud that we are always the first to give (and usually the most) when there is a world disaster
