Unfortunately, conservatives do not change their spots.

In her answer to Caroline Lucas, leader of the Greens, who asked the infinitely sensible question that, if nuclear weapons were a real deterrent why not let other nations have them, her response was: 'Sadly [Lucas], and some members of the Labour party, seem to be the first to defend the country’s enemies’.

There we have it,folks. You're either with us or with the terrorists (or whomever else we declare our enemies). It's all about us and them. No nuance. No negotiation. Way to go, Theresa.

This will almost certainly extend to any other enemies of Britain's ruling class - the poor, the unemployed, the working poor, the NHS and anyone with pesky leftist, socialist thinking who believe in renationalising Britain's 30 years of privatisation and deregulation.

May is being groomed as the new Iron Lady of British politics. She even looks and talks like you know who.

Now, where can we find another Falklands War to shore up her popularity? Tahiti looks nice.
