Alexander Mercouris — Britain’s Government of Amateurs

The British addiction to amateurism bewilders foreign governments who have to deal with top British officials who are simply not up to their jobs, which they anyway usually only occupy for a short time. The Chilcot Inquiry Report identified this amateurism as a major factor in the British debacle in Iraq as key decisions were made by people who lacked either the experience or the expertise to make them. Nothing however is being done to address the problem.
"Unqualified."

"unqualified" yes...

However, the article makes the best case of a bad lot for Ms. May...

Tom, watch her youtube I posted downthread it is short...

I bring attention to her WORDS... These are at least good WORDS imo... (only BRIEFLY touches on "freedom!" blah blah...)

Now lets see if they ARE SMART ENOUGH to transform those words into action....

Matt, it's a typical bullshit speech and she is no more qualified to deliver on it than Trump is in the US. In the first place, she is leading the Tories and Trump the GOP and both parties are completely out of synch with those sentiments. Secondly, the tip off is in the first words of her speech praising David Cameron for stabilizing the economy (with austerity) and "reducing the deficit." She looks to be as clueless as Cameron and Osborne.

Qualified? we'll see. I'll be amazed.
