She did so with a 20 point poll lead and unusually high favourability ratings, thinking she and her party were untouchable - that they could do, say, or avoid anything they like and still be gifted a carte blanche mandate to implement a manifesto that took the piss even out of their core support base. She wanted to be vindicated in dismantling our public services, continuing to sell our NHS off to the highest bidder, making further ideological cuts to the poorest and most vulnerable in our society so that her filthy rich cronies could benefit, ran a negative, vitriolic campaign that concentrated less on what they were offering (which was very little) and more on lying about what the opposition were. The personal attacks, the smears, the 'naked and alone' (which no man would have ever gotten away with saying), the audacity of not costing your policies and then criticising the oppositions for 'not adding up', the avoidance of scrutiny, a campaign led by two bullies (not my words, but those of Tory ministers), the gall of her using Islamic fundamentalism to try and drum up support for revoking hard fought for rights, her continued avoidance of the electorate, the list goes on. This is all, by the way, after she used her inaugural speech last July to attempt to appear like a centrist, moderate Conservative, stressing how she wanted to support the 'just about managing'. The last seven weeks have proven that to be a lie, and exposed her for the power thirsty charlatan that she is. I cannot abide the woman because of what she wanted to do to this country, and I'm expected to express sympathy for someone who cares very little about me or 95% of the population? Not a chance. I didn't like Cameron or his policies, but they were nowhere near as disgusting as she was attempting to get away with, and at the very least at least he was statesmanlike. She is a laughing stock, and rightly so. It couldn't have happened to a more contemptible person. Of course I'm emotionally hysterical, the woman and the current state of her party actually makes my blood boil. Not just figuratively, but literally.

And sorry, but with all due respect, I'm not going to be lectured on morality from someone who thinks these kind of policies are supportable.

Absolute brilliance.
