After listening I get why some people are taking it in that way. I won't go on (too much) because the majority on here obviously have a different opinion than mine. I pretty much agree that having kids changes your perspective and that it also changes your behaviour (in terms of decision making and actual behaviour) because after the birth of my first I became much more patient, more understanding and thought much more about what I said and did both in their company and when not. My Mum has commented on this a few times saying I am much different now to how I was before I had children at the age of 30. So in many ways I pretty much agree with her statement there.
However I get that bringing up Theresa May was very naive and foolish and she has not done herself many favours there because no matter what her intention was it comes across really badly and she was obviously having to think on her feet which seems to show that her thought process has not done a very good job there.
All in all I am not concerned about the intention of what she thinks are her own strengths because I don't feel that someone thinking that having children gives you a different perspective is untrue or not important after all how many people voted both ways in the referendum citing that they were thinking about their children's future?
However being so easily trapped there and not being able to quickly think about how what she is saying before she says it will be perceived (spin or no spin) gives me much more of a concern going forward as to whether she is capable of avoiding this kind of blunder in the future.
I should also add that I have been anti-May for a couple of years so that does bias my thinking of who is best for the job. At the end of the day we are stuck with one of these 2 and so it is now a very hard choice.
We are obviously going to disagree on this one and you may think ImpSaint is 'orrible but we are all different peas in a pod here.
I do think it is a little funny though that anything Murdoch has been give short shrift in this thread and on football threads on this site yet "The Times" seems to be thought of differently.
