To think that this woman could be in charge of the security of our country makes me nervous.

As to your last point I feel like exactly the same about the woman who is currently in charge of the whole country.
That worries me far more as to all she has so far said and done,than one pathetic interview of Abbotts.
I wouldn't be that sure even if this lot get turfed out,that in a new coalition govt led by Labour that Abbott would in fact be Home Secretary anyway.
Your post is as ever a good read and you are right,now particularly she has to be well versed in all her brief for interviews
