Is she OK? Has she lost the plot? Is she crazy?

Honestly - I am beginning to wonder if she is unhinged.

She just bashes on saying the same things over and over again; and makes no attempt to listen and seek a new direction.

I really do think she has to go now - she has made such a mess of these negotiations, but she just ploughs on regardless, talking to her colleagues as if they are naughty children. It really is beyond belief.

" Sky News are reporting this evening (21/03/19) that all MPs are being advised to increase their personal security precautions and to only take taxis as transport to and from Parliament.

The above is all due to Mays attack on all MPs during her "address to the nation" yesterday.

Totally disgusting. May should resign as soon as practically possible following her return from the Brussels EU leaders meeting.

" The above is all due to Mays attack on all MPs during her "address to the nation" yesterday."

You are peddling either MISINFORMATION in all good faith or you are purposely twisting facts to push your agenda.

DEPUTY SPEAKER LYNDSAY HOYLE e. mailed that advice to MP's ' PRIOR TO ' Theresa May's speech outside No 10!

The director of public prosecutions, Max Hill had sent the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee a letter naming a list of prosecutions against people who had abused or threatened an MP. The Human Rights Committee published the letter on Thursday, BEFORE Theresa May made her speech.

It was the publishing of that letter that gave rise to Deputy Speaker Lyndsey Hoyle sending the e. mail to MP's NOT as you state because of May's Speech.

Happy to be corrected!

maryeliza54 Fri 22-Mar-19 08:54:27

Be that as it may, her speech has added to the problem

Thanks for the correct information POGS there is too much of the other stuff about!

Anniebach Fri 22-Mar-19 08:58:37

Thank you POGS

Got it one POGS. The peddling of misinformation is all part of the scaremongering that is so rife amongst Remainers.

There is an agenda.

Grandad1943 Fri 22-Mar-19 09:24:55

Perhaps this will demonstrate the true state of the MP security situation following Theresa Mays attack on them.

You gave misinformation!

I repeat Deputy Speaker Lyndsey Hoyle sent the e. mail to MP's ' PRIOR TO' '. Theresa May's Speech and I face the reason why.

I am happy to be corrected!

My comment is to you in person as it is' your ' statement not Sky News that I have issue with.

I am not blind and cannot see I am a stickler for ' truth / honesty and factual information' which at times is sadly lacking on GN.

This prolongued uncertainty could have affected the whole nation, everyone is very jumpy, not just MPs etc.
It has affected me in various ways, even though I keep resolving not to read or listen any more. Keep hoping something definite will happen.

andycameron69 Fri 22-Mar-19 10:44:41

in a week we will be leaving as in law, that is something definite

Thank you for that information, POGS.
I am sure I heard those allegations, that TM's speech had put MPs under increased threat, made on the BBC this morning.

suzied Fri 22-Mar-19 11:10:58

Certain MPs tweeted straight after May's speech that they felt even less safe due to her criticisms of them in the speech.

maryeliza54 Fri 22-Mar-19 11:59:53

Interesting isn’t it suzied that all those huffing and puffing about how MPs had warnings before TM’s speech seem not to realise the fact that that made her speech even worse as she knew the MPs were ar risk and deliberately and with malice aforethought sought to increase that danger. Is there anything more she can do that would make some of us despise her more?

Anniebach Fri 22-Mar-19 13:23:50

So Mrs May thought ‘ I know how to put MP’s in danger, I will make a speech’ .

Urmstongran Fri 22-Mar-19 13:28:29

Mrs. May has been finished since the last GE, but Tory MPs have been happy for to remain in case she's replaced by Boris Johnson, and Labour MPs in case she's replaced by Jeremy Corbyn.

They've also been happy to let her blunder on in pursuit of her brexit deal (pretty much the only one available), while they carp from the sidelines. That process has now come to a halt, and MPs from both sides of the House now have to actually choose either her deal, no deal, or an extension/revocation of brexit that ensures it never happens.

Even now, it seems they're not yet ready for this.

maryeliza54 Fri 22-Mar-19 13:32:29

Yes ab why else did she do so when everyone knew the danger MPs were in as POGS so helpfully outlined for us?

I have been pointing out the bullying / intimdation and harrasment MP's from ALL parties have been dealing with for 3 years plus on GN.

Sadly there has been a denial by many posters this was happening when it came to Anti-semitism and more so when it was known to come from within their own party. You are one of them.

There is no proof Theresa May's Speech made the situation worse, maybe it has, maybe it has not but for a poster/posters to say :-

" all MPs are being advised to increase their personal security precautions and to only take taxis as transport to and from Parliament.

" The above is all due to Mays attack on all MPs during her "address to the nation" yesterday.

Was peddling misinformation.

suzied Fri 22-Mar-19 16:37:11

Pogs - you are obviously in denial that May's speech made MPs feel less safe - this is not what some MPs themselves said.
You may think they are lying but if thats what they said immediately after the speech, then why shouldn't you believe what they say about their feelings? I have a neighbour who is the mother of an MP, I know she has mixed feelings about her child being an MP - she is proud of their achievements, but now she is terrified for their safety and wishes they would go back to their previous job.

Ginny42 Fri 22-Mar-19 17:24:33

Posters have said some pretty nasty things about TM in the last few months, calling her a liar and a traitor and it has intensified in recent days. Posters have said all MPs lie; they are stupid; ignorant and think only of themselves. I disagree with blanket statements about such a large group of individuals.

However, judging from the way Mrs May has been behaving, especially with her 'speech to the nation' the other evening (I had actually thought she was going to resign!) I think she's showing signs of delusion. She sees herself as our saviour. The benevolent mother figure speaking to her children, patronising and silly.

She did not relate to me. She is not 'on my side'. She is not giving me and my family what we need. She doesn't give a sh1t about what's happening to ordinary families only conserving the wealth and lifestyle of herself and her cronies.

Wait a moment. She's had a meeting with BJ and told him she's not going anywhere and she will not step aside for him to take over now. Well done that woman!

Sussexborn Fri 22-Mar-19 17:40:27

Excellent well balanced post Day 6! The spite and bile of some Remainers is beyond belief. Their superiority complex is quite staggering.

Surprise, surprise! The left wing propaganda rags all agree that the great British public are all stupid and gullible! Time will tell who the stupid and gullible really are.

andycameron69 Fri 22-Mar-19 17:53:21

all will be fine a delicious hard brexit what was voted for by the majority of those who voted, I find that really simpple to understand

I am ' NOT ' in denial I said " There is no proof Theresa May's Speech made the situation worse, maybe it ' HAS ' maybe it has not.

I have certainly ' NOT' said anywhere on this thread or any other thread MP's are lying so please stop posting untruths.

I can't even say you are ' twisting my words', I Never even said them!!

I pointed out misinformation by a poster .

crystaltipps Fri 22-Mar-19 20:52:45

What MPs say themselves is proof isn’t it? Why do you know better than them?

"What MPs say themselves is proof isn’t it? Why do you know better than them
----

If you are addressing me what have I said that implies I know better than them?

What MP's say themselves has not even been mentioned by me on this thread.

I have mentioned numerous times on other threads when I have bashed away at those who deny/denied Labour MP's were being bullied/harassed and intimidated by their own party.

Anniebach Fri 22-Mar-19 21:34:22

Crystalips. MP’s are saying they are in danger and this is proof, yet Corbyn supporters have never spoken out and said the same about Jewish MP’s even when there has been proof. Seems threats to MP’s who are Jews are not important
