Theresa May is awful.

She was a terrible Home Secretary, failed at all of her immigration targets, took an unnecessarily hard stance on drugs - under the Tories marijuana has been put up to class B for some weird reason? Despite the fact that you can get caught in possession with it multiple times without anybody giving a sh*t.

She was part of a government that has put on this stupid sugar tax too.

I am very much in the centre when it comes to politics. Blair was great, shame he f**ked up by going to Iraq and licking Bush's balls, because otherwise he could've stayed on..

Why is there a vegetable shortage? - BBC News
Same thing here. I think I'll have to stock up on iceberg lettuce.

I like Theresa May. Hopefully she develops a good rapport with Trump.

I like Theresa May until she says that "Islam is a peaceful and loving religion".

There are NO peaceful and loving religions.

They are control systems invented by ancient elites. No denying the fact. Christianity is not a religion of peace and neither is Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism or Whatever-insert-name-here-ism. Any religion wages war on people's mind, forcing non-believers into hiding whether mentally or physically.

It's just meaningless pandering to a vote she'll never get regardless. The less a leader mentions religion in positive terms, the better. States shouldn't just be secular, states should enforce state atheism and ban religious studies for children.

Legal at home, not acceptable in any state function though.

Re drugs - New Scientist has rightly ridiculed the UK government for a bill (passed yet or abandoned? - not sure) on "psychoactive substances" that would logically have tea, coffee and everything else banned if actually applied.

May is appalling. Might be a suitable match for Trump.

The Iraq war was pretty big news of course but nothing as divisive a Brexit/Trump, and here in the UK we had political and economic stability. Pretty good days.
nothing's as divisive as Trump but I remember the Iraq War and later Bush years being rather bad. Interesting to look back and compare. Economically, better but not great. Mid and late 90s were the political and economic stable years. Doubt it can go back to that in either sense.

Yep, that bill was passed! Pretty ridiculous really...

She's the type of dinosaur that thinks taking a hard stance on drugs will make the problem go away.. sorry to let you know Theresa, but drug use is rising and a hard stance will never work, the black market will always find a way.

It kinda makes me sad to look at countries like Portugal, Holland and even the US where a less harsh stance on softer drugs has been effective

Oh really? She is clueless.

What else is she good at then? For someone who supposedly backed staying in the EU, it's funny that all of a sudden she now wants us to take a hard route out of Europe..

She's spineless and no good.

Then again, I didn't expect anything less from a pre pubescent boy such as yourself.
