What a total embarassment she must be to her party,all this "dancing",is she SO desperate to do a deal with these African leaders that she thinks behaving in a totally UN statesmanlike manner is the way to go? As if the UK isn't enough of a laughing stock worldwide already she's certainly ramping up the joke factor .

I certainly do nigglynellie, given the right tune stand back give me plenty of space.?‍♀️

I dance like Zizi Jeanmaire...

What a. Fuel comment, O’Shea dances like a broken deckchairs. Cruel and unnecessary. Criticise her politics, her leadership of the country and her party, suggest she lacks the skills to do her job but honestly, what kind of comment is that!

I'm not a particular fan of the lady but I think she had a go spontaneously and I liked that. I've sometimes had the misfortune to see videos of myself having a 'good' time. Wowwee! Embarrassing would be minimalistic. I think she is having a particularly tough time with so many people lurking in the shadows waiting for B to be over before stabbing her in the back, front and anywhere else they can.

Stoopied predictive text that altered itself as I pressed send. Maybe that’s what happened when the poster described TM as dancing like a broken deckchair, maybe the poster didn’t mean to be so unnecessarily unkind.

Iam I loved that predictive text! grin
I can't stand Corbyn and am not a fan of La Sturgeon but to criticise either of them dancing along with children...really?!
Being a politician requires a lot of you, T May is not young and supple [which of us is?] but credit where it's due.

But Bridgeit, we all had a good laugh at Boris dangling from a wire over the Thames because he was too vain to be weighed and weighted properly.

I've never seen a broken deckchair dancing so I have no point of reference, sorry.

Well done, Theresa, for entering into the spirit of it all!

Jalima1108 Sun 02-Sep-18 20:04:09

Oh, I meant to copy and paste a bit more than that!!

I was answering Lucylastic who, by her name, can obviously do break dancing, flips, street dancing and everything!
but not all of us are so agile.

Trezza did a good old mum dance there. We all should be proud.

Just what are you hoping to achieve with your bitter remarks? Having agreed that we are all entitled to our own personal opinions, why the need to make inflammatory comments?

grin
and a mum dance is better than a dad dance!!

yet we durstn't make any comments even slightly untoward about Sturgeon or Salmond

Otherwise will be SHOUTED AT

Sorry - we'll be

I would never criticise TM for her bad dancing, or for her clothes, or any other irrelevences.

What I do criticise her for is her hyppocracy and poor judgement. She should be judged by her deeds.

I felt sick when I heard her speech on entering Downing Street where she talked about the "just about manageings". It reminded me so much of Margaret Thatcher invoking the prayer of Saint Francis. She than went on to do things that would have made Saint Francis turn in his grave.

What has TM actually done for these people?.

I can hardly believe that when Cameron resigned and the Tories needed to find a new PM, I was actually rooting for Theresa May, but only on the basis that she could not possibly be as bad as Andrea Leadsome.

This country desperately needs electoral reform. FPTP means most voters have to chose between TM and JC - we need and deserve better than either of them.

But, unfortunately, Tim was not the answer.

varian, Theresa May, Corbyn or Cable !
