Reminds me of various celebs on chat shows over the years: take away the script and there is literally nothing there.

A nothing question that needed a simple throw-away answer. I dunno, just say you’d go to a village pub for a glass of shat on du plop or something.

I guess after giving an honest answer last year (running through wheat fields) she was too scared to answer the question.

It’s rather scary that she’s so robotic that she couldn’t come up with a decent answer (real or made up) to that question.

It’s not Mays fault that her programmers didn’t include a social element to her. I assume there must be a firmware update coming at some point to rectify this.

Liam Fox on QT now.

Ooooh, Pru Leith admitting she voted for Brexit. That’ll go down well on Twitter.

She's obviously been renovating John Major's No. 10 sex dungeon.

It's taken until now for the work to get underway though, as she's spent much of her time in office having to clean up the mess Cameron left behind down there (one little piggy went to market, one little piggy went to DC's dungeon...).

There were eight council by-elections last night. Five of them were held by Conservatives, and they lost all five! :D

That one isn’t the problem, it’s the other 9 that really needed cleaning up. :dread:

Quoting for a new page. This Queen Bee of a woman is just too fun to handle and just has so many friends she couldn't possibly think of a way to spend a girly evening with them.

I loathe May as much as the next sane, right-thinking person and while I agree her response is a strawberry floating car crash, I have just as much contempt for this type of asinine questioning. The interviewer seem desperate to hear that May's perfect day would be to get together with the gals, put on the Sex And The City boxset and down a few bottles of Lambrini. Because that's what all women love to do on International Women's Day. :roll:

While I find it odd that May seems to make a meal out of the easiest soft ball question. How hard would it have been to say, I like to get a nice bottle of wine and chat, really. It's not particularly import, she's not a bad PM because of her failure to answer soft ball questions but her inability to display any kind of leadership, or set out a coherent plan for the UK.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

I think May is more into WKD Blue than Lambrini.

I agree with you that it’s an asinine question, but at the same time it is a simple question and she should be able to answer it. Either with the truth “I just sit around bleakly contemplating the wasteland that my party is creating”, a lie “I get thousands of friends together and we all go out helping the poor and needy” or with humour “Are you trying to get me to mention wheat fields again?”.

Instead, she just turns it into another car crash.

I'll defend May here (on my white steed), that was an appallingly sexist question. Just because May is a woman, she doesn't have to have the girls round for some pink prosecco and Fifty Shades.

Its absolutely outrageous that of all the issues hitting the UK, that a "journalist" would waste time asking something so utterly banal.
