Should she go?

I might be wrong here, but I was under the impression that not causing "immense harm to the world" was one of the major parts of the job description

Of course . But it's a more complex question than that. You can also ask whether Stalin was a great leader…

No, that would be a leader who was unquestionably terrible despite the small amount of good he probably did .

Stalin really is a complex question - a great leader, who saved the world from the other one among other things, and did immense good for his country, but also immense harm and terrible things to a lot of his people.

Blair is obviously not in the same league for good or bad than either of them.

Oh I don't know, his taste in women is terrible too..

Ma cherie! I had the misfortune to walk through the houses between Paddington and an office down near Marble Arch, and I came across their abode. She had some chav personalised plate where the screw was black and made a "C" look like an "E". Jesus Christ.

No, he definitely isn't the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

I'm not sure Downing Street is big enough...

How far away counts as "outside"?

Should she go? Based on what's likely to occur over the weekend, she'll be gone by Monday.

Why does everyone think she is going? She is not really going anywhere if we are honest.

What is likely to occur over the weekend?  A riot?

She has had a bad month which a lot of women do but she really needs to be allowed to get on with the job. 

Excuse me ?  Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "a lot of women do" ?

Anyway, what happened to telling me your age.  You said you'd say if I guessed, and I did, ages ago.

What he means is his wife bought a battery powered dildo with which to replace him permanently, hence her good humour the other night.

Actually I'm rather surprised @capo4th can type, given his knuckle dragging "views".

The people in the YouTube comments section can type. It's no indicator of anything useful.

OK, so I won't expect a sensible answer to my question anytime soon then.

Rumours are circulating that Hammond will take over .. May can't survive and the Tories probably have a week to save the party before the government falls. They need to end talks with the DUP - that will be the last nail in their coffin and I'll be unpopular but I'd call Brexit off. The government is leaderless and rudderless and too weak to get the necessary legislation through parliament.

Well played May. It's interesting that the three worst PM's in living memory are Tory. Heath, Cameron and May. Remember that when you go to vote in the looming election.

Calling Brexit off would be a huge mistake. It would breathe new life into UKIP who could easily claim that the Conservatives can't be trusted on Europe to deliver and snaffle back some votes. Corbyn could state that he favoured a cross-party approach so could retain the Labour vote and put the onus on Conservative failure. Calling off Brexit would not go down well at any General Election. 

A Canadian guy who was supposed to lead the UK's negotiations has turned the job down ... not enough cash. So we now have nobody with any experience of negotiating .. this is unbelievable. An utter shambles ... it must be postponed until we have a stable government capable of delivering Brexit.

Crawford Falconer has been hired - 25 yrs of experience. New Zealander. Who is this Canuck you're talking about?

Falconer is a poor second choice. The man the government wanted was Jonathan Fried, a Canadian ambassador who has acted as adviser to the Canadian Prime Minister and was the chief negotiator during China's accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). He turned down the role on Friday.
