While I'm no great fan of ANY politician, I can't see how her time at the Home Office has been shambolic. At least,not when you take into account the shambolic nature of the post. She has been constrained by a number of outside factors, such as her predecessors didn't have to contend with. The interpretations of The Human Rights Act by The European Court. The expansion of The EU by including some of the former Soviet Bloc Countries blasted any immigration targets to smithereens. Having to fight against the UK Judiciary who seem to feel that it's THEIR job to make the Law, rather than Parliament's. The financial constraints which forced huge financial cuts on departments, such as Prisons and Border Controls at a time when more not less, was needed. No doubt you can add to this list. The fact that she held on, comfortably, for so long, is in itself high commendation. The crux, for me is after voting to leave (based on my own assessment and nothing to do with that bunch of smug, self appointed tossers who fronted the Brexit Campaign), do I trust Mrs May to do a good job in getting us out. The answer is Yes I do. Like most I'm something of a 'middle of the road voter' when it comes to politics. She come reasonably close to that, judging by her actions SO FAR.
She's one of the main causes of the policing crisis. 19000 less police officers. No coincidence her husband is a major shareholder in g4s.
The police were taking big hits long before she turned up pal, it's easy to blame a conservative because of their austerity measures, but I worked with the police around 2006-2007 and they were being mismanaged from the top down, the amount of money I saw being wasted was incredible and it was all going to the wrong places. I was self employed but recruited by what g4s was, before it was branded g4s, the rate I was on was ridiculous and they covered around £250 per day expenses on top of that, the work was simple and by the time I left it was almost completely automated as I had written a mountain of macros for them using their overpriced, unnecessary software.
But that's still happening. All you're doing is highlighting how long that area has needed proper reform, not the substandard penny pinching reform her and her party implemented. The Tory reforms on policing have failed under her. More cases are breaking down than ever, there's less officers, more paperwork and more strain. It's not working.
I never said it was working, it's just incredibly naive to highlight one person for the state of the home office or it's subsidiaries. I don't like May, I hope she gets run over by a bus, I have absolutely no Tory bias here whatsoever. Although Corbyn would be far worse, he'd probably scrap the police and replace them with potted plants.
It's worse because standards have dropped further. Parker blames her for the present police crisis. I agree that's all. Not saying it was in great condition before she took over, but her government and her department have put it in it's present condition. We can go into Labour's ridiculous turnover of Home Secretaries and how none of them could get it right, but none of them are becoming PM.
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world...an-Union-migrants-referendum-mandatory-quotas I'm just gonna leave this here. Thanks to all the 'old, clueless, selfish' folk we won't have to deal with any of their **** soon enough. Even though the far left socialist divs are getting excited about a 2nd referendum
As PM, Theresa May says she will prioritise "not the mighty nor the wealthy nor the privileged" but working people and will do everything she can to help people to get on in life. What's she doing with Woody Allen?
The owld lass is looking in good spirits. I'm glad. If it comes to her (unelected) or an equally unelected European Commissioner, both on a lot of money, I know which I'd have any time. I can trust one of them. And that's the difference.
