    I honestly think she’s an idiot. Not in a “stupid tories” sort of way, but in a genuinely low intelligence way.

    Anyway, if only she was correct.

    It starts off funny, and they you remember that these are the out of touch arseholes running the fucking country (she seems to be refusing to fuck off, but also even if she did, she’s far from the only right winged wanker who genuinely believes this shit).

    Her level of delusion is remarkable.

    It’s not just self-delusion, which is frighteningly common among our political class (and at which she also excels), but a thoroughly complete delusion about the entire universe around her.

    I’m not sure I can name an equivalent from the left. The sort of folks who might be so completely wrong about everything are consigned to the minor socialist and communist parties, never making it close to the mainstream — though perhaps some echoes of an equivalent delusion are present among the new crop of independent MPs.

    I’m actually growing fond of seeing it. Not her, of course, but of her place in our political discourse. Her conduct on election night was hilarious, and her flirtations with American politics in particular since have been wild. I’d rather she go away entirely, but in a perverse way I’m glad she’s providing such entertainment.

      The left has people like this: tankies. Shallow loyalists who don’t really grasp that reality exists beyond who-says. It’s just - people in that mindset are endemic to the right, because a hierarchy-driven worldview maps neatly onto consolidating power and mumble mumble it’ll work out for the best, whereas you have to go pretty far around the bend to make it fit egalitarian self-direction.

      Leftists and progressives have their crazies. The right puts them in charge.

    Congratulations on your successful revolution, Britain! I must’ve missed the news when it happened, amidst all the gossip about the latest Donald Trump tweets.

    Everyone talks about her but I think about the complete fucking losers working for her, following her around. The people walking with her in the picture, begging to be snapped with her. What a bunch of sorry individuals
