Am I the only one who thinks that the BBC is going a little over the top with this ( news this morning) it's almost bordering on a coronation.

Jane10 Wed 13-Jul-16 09:04:43

I suppose its a nice change of news. The tabloids can have a lovely time now commenting on her outfits and hairdo!

Anniebach Wed 13-Jul-16 10:08:59

I had a little fantasy, after the dreaded Ref., of an emergency coalition gov. headed by Dennis Skinner and Ken Clark, with perhaps some input from a Lib dem, if one could be found. Shouldn't think Ken Clark would be our Teresa May's brew.

Sadly, the BBC is no longer impartial imo.

Think the next UK government is more likely to be like a game of Cluedo ...

Mr Gove, in the study with the paper knife

Mr Boris in the closet with the dagger

Mr Blair in denial under the stairs with an axe

Miss May in the laundry with the steam iron

Slightly off at a tangent, but still political.... what to call Ms Clinton's consort when (hopefully not if?) she becomes Madam President. If the traditional title is First Lady, how about First Lady's Man? IYSWIM grin
