Theresa May - The Pressure

[Prudie]

There isn't really a category I could think to put this - I don't want to discuss her politics at all but on a human front I just don't know how any one can cope with this much pressure, how is she sleeping, how is she getting up every morning to go somewhere that most don't want her to be. If this were me in the workplace I'd have gone off with stress long ago and quite frankly maybe consider jumping off a cliff. Anyone else feel sympathy or at least wonder how she's coping?

[mightymouse]

I do feel sorry for her. Could anyone else have done better?

[david small]

Are we talking about someone else? She was an appalling Home Secretary, an odious PM, a liar, and a person of very dubious integrity. A political catastrophe for the party she represents.

By this time tomorrow she will have left, or at least officially resigned. Probably staying as caretaker PM until the new person takes over.
Although I am not a fan, she doesn’t deserve the abuse she’s got here and elsewhere.

so who's your pick to replace her, david small?

[Prudie]

Thanks for the many sympathetic answers, including from the non Tory faction, I am not a fan but as a woman I can't help feeling desperately sorry for her. Many of us have experienced abominable days at work and possibly abominable co-workers but a least we get to go home and cry/drink/cuddle it off. I can't see when she has a minute to switch off. I also think anyone else in the role in these circumstances would have fared just as badly.

Prudie, I think the Tories hate her much more than the non-Tory faction do.

[Prudie]

I know, hardly surprising, she will be blamed for destroying the conservative vote slice - but that's a different thread.

Sqad,in his post this morning, says he has sympathy with Tony Blair over the Iraq war. WHY? He and slime ball Campbell took us to war on totally false information and this resulted in a lot of military fatalities and badly maimed servicemen.Also with all these " refugees" terrorist attacks are taking place all around the world.Also remember Theresa May is the one who is prepared to throw under the bus the servicemen who served in Northern Ireland during the troubles.She also took away stop and search.So I have no sympathy for her either.

[ichkeria]

Yes I’m with jno on this. It’s a faction of her own party who seem to hate her the most. A bit like Tony Blair

[jno]

I know, Prudie, I was just suggesting why she might get sympathy from non-Tories, as you noted in your previous post.
