I remember being in Dublin with my husband just after Charles and Diana were married and people were shocked to learn that we hadn't even watched the wedding but had spent the day in the garden instead.

Good choice I'd say!

if they are, then yes they, "deserve a kicking."

How many "empty mansion" are there that belong to "drug dealers"? One imagines that if there's evidence that someone is a drug dealer then the police would be pretty interested.

Could you stop baiting Labour and SNP supporters on here and, for a change, go after the Tories?  Or would that be simply impossible.

There's more than enough people "going after" the Tories on here. Without someone to criticise Corbyn and the Tartan Tories it'd turn into a complete circlejerk.

I don't really understand this - are you just always trying to play Devil's Advocate then, Phil?

[Joe]

Yep.

So you really hate the Tories' guts and hold your nose on here all the time in the interests of balance?

ILA, you imply May should have had the integrity to resign after the election result. Who do you think should have replaced her?

[boogers]

Lolbour back in action I see. Corbyn sacks shadow cabinet members after they rebel against the whip and vote for a Queens Speech amendment backing single market membership.

Quite how Labour manage to support an ultra-hard Brexit and yet court the youth vote escapes me.

The PM has a constitutional duty to stay in power until a replacement can be appointed (like Gordon Brown did in 2010).
So, if May should have had the 'integrity' to resign, you would have to consider one of the following to be morally superior:
1) Prime Minister Corbyn
2) A new Conservative Prime Minister
3) A new election

You'd only get Corbyn if there was another election, and I doubt many people would have the stomach for that, so therefore it would seem that a new Tory PM would be the answer, although exactly who I wouldn't like to predict, although I doubt any of them could be worse than May.

As for May does he really think her arrangement with the DUP is not a disaster. She is playing with fire she risks the breakdown of the peace agreement in Ulster.  Also agreeing to give all that money to prop up the Tories is beyond belief.

All it has done is to confirm that she will do anything to keep the tories in power she is devoid of any moral authority.

I go along with all of that LB, and her calling an unnecessary GE primarily to boost up her own authority showed a complete lack of judgement, and now that that's backfired she's compounding this by forming what I see as a rather dubious alliance, even if it isn't that in the true sense of the word.  In fact she's so incompetent I wonder what she'll cock up next, particularly with the Brexit negotiations.
