From todays comments in the Spectator:
Quote:
May called the vote in an attempt to realign national politics and succeeded, but in a way converse to that she intended. Politically she is a dead woman walking, her disastrous tenure and campaign will be dissected and studied for years to come. School children will learn and recall it alongside the likes of Foot's 'longest suicide note in history'.
She produced an heinous and arrogant manifesto, devoid of respect and motivation for all generations. So lazy it didn't include costings, so bleak it couldn't enthuse anyone. After bestowing that turgid tome on a startled nation she adopted the mentality of a robotic recluse awaiting coronation, while her challenger stuck to the Labour rule book, throwing free things at the disaffected and meeting the proles on occasion.
Akin to a braggart car salesman who scuttles off to the toilet when they see someone pull onto the forecourt, her approach to this election will forever be ridiculed and held up as a case study in delusion and incompetence.
Any sane Labour leader would have won a majority. Any competent Tory leader would have won a majority. What we witnessed was a hideous and inconclusive wrestle between political pygmies. Think of that hearth side scene from 'Women in Love' with May and Corbyn, that's what we've put Brexit on hold for. Pathetic.
