Theresa May, a Chamberlain when we needed a Churchill


Recommended Posts

It takes balls to fight the political establishment and grasp opportunity from the clutches of mediocrity. Self-evidently, this PM has none and seems certain to ensure the Brexit opportunity is squandered. We’re led by weaklings.

I almost feel sorry for old 'Strong & Stable'.


I think she does have some balls to have stayed in a near impossible job to try and keep the hard-right at bay. I also think she is taking a line that better represents the country as a whole than the scorched earth flag wavers on the far right who are financially insulated.

 

Had there been a credible 'leader' waiting and wanting to take her place, then maybe, but there isn't.

He isn't credible for so many different reasons.

 

Let's look at this week rather than go into his more seriously chequered past just now.

I'll even include some relevance to the Churchill reference in the OP.

 

------------------

 

.........“Four years ago he [Johnson] was asked the biggest lesson that he had learned from his supposed hero Winston Churchill and his answer was, I quote, ‘Never give in, never give in, never give in’. For some reason Churchill didn’t add ‘Unless you can catch a plane to Kabul’.”

 

In response, Johnson gave only a wry smile. He was lost for words. His absence from the Commons for the crucial vote on the third Heathrow runway is just the latest in a series of gaffes and diversions which call into question his suitability for the post of Foreign Secretary, this most responsible and public-facing of jobs in Theresa May’s government.

 

Famously, Johnson had previously promised to “lie down in front of the bulldozers” to prevent Heathrow expansion. In the event, called to Parliament to vote on the controversial third runway on Monday evening, he high-tailed it to Kabul on a mysterious 7,000 mile round-trip. The vote was passed with 415 MPs backing the plans and 119 against. He didn’t even have the decency to abstain on a point of principle........

Experience teaches us to be ready to be confounded but in the circumstances as they appear to be, Bill is right and we are looking at a shambles. The Goverment has been unable to formulate a plan because of the divisions in the Conservative party and in particular in the Cabinet.

 

The Prime Minister should have made up her mind what she intends to do to implement the instruction delivered by the referendum result. If she didn’t want to do it she should have resigned. If she had a plan but couldn’t persuade her colleagues to sign up to it she should have resigned. If she had a plan but a minority of the Cabinet didn’t like it, they should have resigned. After two years, they are still dithering in advance of a big Chequers meeting this weekend.

 

Strange, isn’t it, that Major and Cameron were undermined by euro-sceptics and now the euro-sceptics are being undermined by europhiles.

 

Perhaps after all, a master plan is about to be revealed which will resolve everything and (jocular remark alert) sort out these foreigners. Unlikely though.

We’ll end up with either a general election or a second referendum and because people are sick of the issue we’ll end up staying in the EU in all but name. It’s a carefully orchestrated hijacking and a disgrace in every aspect.

It looks increasingly like the prospects of an early general election are about to move from possible to probable. Maybe we'll get a properly hypocritical leader this time ... or not. I should just make it clear this gratuitously dehumanising image is only provided to give Buster something reprehensible to get stressed about.
