Default How sorry for Theresa May do you feel?

Manchester, London Bridge, Brexit, the election, the Grenfell...the list goes on. She has had a terrible time and she has the queens speech thing. She would hardly have any free time or sleep

How sorry for her do you feel right now, your heart must go out to her?

I do feel for her, but it is all part of the job.
The horrors that have happened this past month or so are heartbreaking for everyone in the country, as they must be for her on a personal level.
On top of that it is her job to try and make sure these tragedies never happen again, on top of Brexit, Queen's speech and trying to sort her party out.
Very difficult, but it goes with the job.

I wouldn't wish what has happened in England in the last month on any leader, losing her majority is the least of her problems now, and anyone that gloats over it when people have died needlessly is pretty sick, I don't think she has handled Grendell particularly well so far

Who has gloated?... Who would gloat?

What an odd thing to say, almost as odd as thinking anyone would have any sympathy for may in relation to recent incidents, ALL my sympathy is for the victims.

It's Grenfell btw.

Nothing at all do I feel for her.
I have never thought anything else as to her since coming across her over a decade ago.
To me she is a deceiver and false. Even in tragedies she has to be near shamed in coming anywhere close to the needed and right response.

Not really any sympathy at all, when she put herself in this position by wanting to be PM. She should expect mass scrutiny. Cameron had the same level but just dealt with it better, talked himself out of a few holes whereas she just seems to hide or get someone else in the cabinet to deal with it. When he realised he'd ****ed up, he left. She's just desperately gripping onto power and does herself no favours. She doesn't help herself, especially shirking any sort of responsibility by debating and talking to the media when that's one of the first things on the job description. The elections was her fault (granted probably an advisors idea but she agreed to do it). Without *personally* knowing her she seems devoid of any emotion or empathy

I'm not really factoring the last week in because what has happened would be difficult for anyone. But Corbyn getting in amongst the victims and talking, sympathising (and giving out hugs..) while she hides behind a "security" excuse (but then the next day she actually goes and visits victims so that excuse was bull****). Even if you dislike Corbyn you have to admit he's handled this week admirably. Although it probably has to be said he's coming into this as the opposition and not facing the anger of the victims who want answers. It wouldn't have harmed her showing her face the first opportunity she could all the same

I feel a bit sorry for her. Getting called a "murderer" and things is a bit much.

BUT she brings it on herself by never answering questions, not meeting the fire victims and calling an unnecessary election for selfish reasons.

Hmm. She saw a little bit of power in sight and she grabbed it with both hands, when she wasn't cut out for the job either professionally (she's just not good at it) or emotionally (she doesn't know how to handle it).

So... Not very sorry. Nothing has happened "to" her that she didn't invite through personal ambition.

I do have sympathy because as I said and I repeat no leader in any country should have to deal with what May has had to deal with in the last month, and that has nothing to do with the election which pales in comparison to all the horrors England has heaped on it. The opposition are gloating and trying to make political hay out of a tragedy, shameless really, and i don't doubt the Torys would be doing the same if Corbyn was PM.

Really sorry for her,I would not want that job for anything.I am sure people think they just sit back and do nothing,they don't,it's hard graft and they wont always get it right,more annoying is the fact whatever she does is wrong in some people eyes,do you think she sits there and thinks,Oh I'll do this today that will piss the electorate off" ? a weaker person would have run for the hills,but no,she has apologised to her party and is endeavouring to get things right, and the things shouted at her by people (and journalists) is disgusting,If I was her I wouldn't want to help people like that . I see the BBC has had a hammering for their bias towards the Conservatives in the election,and the relish on peoples faces (reporters mainly)Kay Burley was particularly bad.when they were digging the knife in,which is funny as they actually won.

I don't feel sorry for her, its her job, its what she signed up to when she accepted the position.

I can have some sympathy for not being able to please all the people all of the time, particularly when views are so polarised as they are now. Lets not kid ourselves, labour would fare no differently with the current divides in the country. So, I accept that she may have handled things different and its a view held by many, but that doesn't mean its all the people. Its not a competition about who can shout the loudest or the most aggressively

Good for you I wouldn't wish terrorism or tragedy on any country either, although I would have thought that would go without saying.
The opposition are not gloating, they are calling for an adequate response which, as yet they have not had.

I think people who feel sorry for her forget that she can step down at any point. She can actually step down and have her whole party benefit greatly. Its a win/win situation, and shes chooses the weird third option.

They are not just calling they are demanding - taking from the rich (as in steal their property) to give to the poor as in line with their far-left policies. That is a road democracy does not want to go down. If, as some have already mentioned, Corbyn is that passionate about this he can offer a room or pay for a room/house for someone - he can afford it. Set an example.

It's the same as people spouting about taking millions of refugees - those that dictate these policies and impose them on others never do anything personally to accommodate people they insist must be allowed in. Again - words come cheap.

Not in the slightest. She called this election in an attempt to wipe out all opposition, effectively set up a one-party state, and then enact the cruelest Conservative manifesto for a generation.

Her hubris in thinking she could avoid the electorate at all costs was astounding, refusing to take part in debates, kicking workers out of factories to talk to a handful of her cronies, pretending she was going to go out and 'talk to the voters' when she did anything but (and the time she did it was a disaster). She had the gall to stand on the steps of number ten the morning after without acknowledging the disastrous night they'd had, or apologise to any of her colleagues who lost their seats, instead continuing to pretend all is fine and dandy. And then she refuses to meet the victims of Grenfell when even the Queen can.

She is a despicable ****, and deserves all the humiliation and abuse she gets.

Those events have nothing to do with her so I don't think anything of her at all.

I'm sure she has empathy, she just finds it hard to show it. Some people are just naturally reserved and closed - off.
Many don't seem to mind at all that Corbyn, the cuddly hugger, and McDonnell supported and sympathised with the IRA murdering THOUSANDS of innocent people, and NOT in a role as peace promoters as they try to spin it.
Many just deny it or refuse to believe it and carry on with their Corbyn love regardless.
I've learned that many Labour supporters under Corbyn are uncaring hypocrites.
