You hated Margaret Thatcher, apparently not a fan of Nicola Sturgeon and also don't like Theresa May, are female politicians less popular in the UK?
Thatcher was very popular in parts of Britain. She didn't often visit beyond Watford though......... Theresa May....... waaaal, I just can't make my mind up about her. I do think she'll swing her handbag at the Europeans like Thatcher did. She might be the woman for the job. Sturgeon has qualities I guess. But, I think she is blinded by her desire for Scottish independence. I did notice her smile of pleasure at her welcome in Europe yesterday. She got her hand shook, and some photos taken. All that was missing was Juncker patting her on the head.

Ugh, I can't help but wince at your comments about women, sorry. I did see this:
Tonight BBC news showed a 2012 BBC interview with Michael Gove who said "I couldn't be prime minister. I'm not equipped to be prime minister. I don't want to be prime minister" Seems that he now seems to want to be prime minister very much.
I don't trust him, he stabbed his good friend David Cameron in the back, and now he done the same thing to his good mate Boris. I prefer May.

Poor Boris! He was used as the face of the Tory Leave campain, and now he has been dropped like a sack of **** by his back-stabbing 'friend' Gove! But that's politics for you, I guess.
I personally thought that he handled pre-referendum questions and debates really well. Not only is he highly intelligent and articulate, he is also popular with the public and can reach out to them like no-one else in the Tory party can.
But as others have said, the surprise of the Leave campaign actually succeeding, has seemed to have cast doubts on his ability to lead the Tory party, not just with his 'ally' Gove but within Boris himself.
I suppose they all have their own personal agendas going on, rather than seeing what's best for the Tory party and for a post-EU country.
I'm unreconstructed.......... I do like some women. My wife, and Raquel Welch..........
Who is Raquel Welsh?
Anyway, I think if Gove ever becomes PM I will definitely leave the country (honestly!)
He was a crap Education Minister, unpopular with the Front Benchers during that particular tenure; out of his depth as SSoJ; will shaft anyone or anything in order to promote himself as the cunning little weasel he truly is.
He reminds me of one of those bland capricious soulless tax inspectors from HMRC. As all the appeal of a wrinkled stocking left forgotten in the corner of some dusty dressing table drawer!
I detest, despise and loathe this guy with a screaming passion!
This man has danger written all over him!
If you thought Boris was 3 sarnies short of a picnic, this bloke is the empty picnic basket!
Just had a look at some tweets from the rich and famous on Boris..
Ewan McGregor sent a message to Mr Johnson over Twitter, posting: “You spineless c*** You lead this ludicrous campaign to leave EU. Win, and now f*** off to let someone else clear up your mess.”
Franz Ferdinand lead singer Alex Kapranos was equally as damning in his assessment of Mr Johnson’s decision.
He tweeted: “You will live the rest of your life under a shadow of regret and remorse. You insidious c***.

Oh dear....... but what Ewan says is true. I think Boris is done. Even down the line, this won't be forgotten. You start something like this, then you see it through. Sadly, the faults in his character have been revealed.
