I thought it was just me who thought that. I find her vacuous.

The thing is, the best way to understand Theresa May’s predicament is to imagine that 52 percent of Britain had voted that the government should build a submarine out of cheese.
Now, Theresa May was initially against building a submarine out of cheese, obviously. Because it’s a completely insane thing to do.
However, in order to become PM, she had to pretend that she thought building a submarine out of cheese was fine and could totally work.
"Cheese means cheese," she told us all, madly.
Then she actually built one.
It’s ****. Of course it is. For God’s sake, are you stupid? It’s a submarine built out of cheese.
So now, having built a **** cheese submarine, she has to put up with both Labour and Tory Brexiters insisting that a less **** cheese submarine could have been built.
They’re all lying, and they know it. So does everybody else. We've covered this already, I know, but it’s cheese and it’s a submarine. How good could it possibly be?
Only she can’t call them out on this. Because she has spent the past two years also lying, by pretending she really could build a decent submarine out of cheese.
So that’s where we are.
On balance, I this analogy works fine, perhaps except for the submarine and cheese parts, which need a little work.

Any good?
That might be true but the point is - still using that analogy - that May used to think that cheese submarines were not the best thing for the country and had no intention of building any.
However, now she and many others are doing what they believe is NOT the best thing for the country because that is what you and others voted for - trying a cheese submarine with no knowledge of the outcome and hoping it turns out alright.
I know you have said you don't care what the outcome is; you just want it anyway; but that really is a senseless point of view - not the same as saying you actually DO think it will be alright.
Yes Labour seems obsessed with appearing on Russia Today

As opposed to the Tories who are just obsessed with Russian money. I'm sure there are Tory politicians who have appeared on RT? So what.
Notchy - Corbyn = lol.

Actually no - when quoting a block of text it is not normal practice (you should practise your spelling, BTW) to enclose it in quotation marks. It is normal to cite the author. Like this, which clearly shows that JohnD was quoting Hugo Rifkind:
But feel free to keep posting more proof that you don't know what you're doing.
