'he has never held elected office and was simply put in place as a personal friend of David Cameron.' Every day I rejoice at Cameron's departure, although I recall that for years commentators such as Paul told us what a splendid chap he was, and how the Conservative party was lucky to have him.
Why do so many want to reach the UK? Some years ago I heard the then mayor of Calais say Britain had created it's own problem by offering universal benefits to all who can reach its shores. That is still true. Also highly relevant is that we do not deport illegals in any numbers due to the way our courts interpret the Human Rights Act. A beefed-up border force would therefore be pointless because those intercepted would invariably be admitted and permitted to stay.
Is Mrs May an ineffective prime minister? Possibly, but it's very early days to reach such a conclusion. We should give her a fair chance to get a grip on what is a very complicated job before we slate her.
Who can claim to express national sentiment? All we know is there was referendum choice to leave, and it must be respected.
I would add that periods of Conservative government have not even slowed the march of PC. Its protagonists have taken control of our every institution.
If you are set on labelling those opposed to mass immigration as racist then so be it, but I suggest to you that your view is ill-informed, unreasoned, and highly prejudiced. I wonder if you listened to Mrs May's speech to the Conservative conference in 2015, and if so, what label would you apply to her?
Is the UK now independent of the EU? Is there any immediate prospect of it becoming so? Those are what the determined Blair apologist John Rentoul has termed Questions To Which the Answer Is No. As an eminently reasonable man I am prepared to give Theresa May time to implement Brexit, but I feel she needs the threatening presence of an effective UKIP to keep her honest.
Do you not suspect ID cards could be forged without great difficulty? After all, there would be a huge market for them.
Did downturns never occur before the Brexit vote? Did we cruise blissfully, untroubled by clouds on the economic horizon?
Nissan could move production elsewhere whenever it suited their corporate purposes, and that is true whether we are in or out of the EU. Our membership did not stop Ford ending vehicle production in the UK, and far from it because the EU forks out (our) cash to relocate facilities such as the Transit van plant away from our shores. And have you noticed a manufacturing boom here during our long unhappy dalliance with the EU? Or have you actually seen the retreat of the makers?
Quitting the EU is not of itself an answer to anything, every Brexiteer knows that, and certainly it will not remove the creeping menace of globalisation. But it will free our hands to implement solutions that work for this country, for the mass of our people. Everything now depends on Mrs May's government seizing the opportunities presented when we are free of EU control, and I for one am prepared to temporarily suppress my impatience and wait to see what she delivers.
