I have just heard Michael Heseltine discussing this on Radio 4. It was a speech which she made to The Institution of Mechanical Engineers. In her speech, she dismantled every argument for leaving the EU.

What has always concerned me about her is the motivation. What is it that has brought about such a radical change?
Have you ever considered she might have an identical twin?

Only ONE nation has REAL BAGPIPES wi proper Drones the noo!
I know many don't, but the Romanian Cimpoi and Hungarian Magyar Duda bagpipes alone have drones, and they are not the only ones. The Ukrainian Volynka has strong ties to the Highland bagpipes, as do a few other in Europe.

And of course Spain can claim to be the originator, having bagpipes long before Scotland.

The Kurds play bagpipes too, maybe why Saddam Hussein gassed them.

The woman is a disgusting affront to the human race.
Blimey 'tillson' - that's most unlike you!

I actually agree with you on that, perhaps unsurprisingly. She became PM only because all the smart tory MPs knew the vacancy at No.10 was a poisoned chalice and only a handful of idiots and the most self-aggrandising showed any interest.

Her party will remove her from office as soon as she has served their immediate purpose because after 'Brexit', she will then become an electoral liability and she is certainly heading there pretty quickly.

... And where would you leave the Irish uillean pipes , with the day that is in it. .. Not for blowhards like the Scots, ours have a bellows worked by the elbow, hence the name, ... If you want to hear them played expertly listen to the " The Brendan Voyage ... " ..

Like the Scottish ones, far more recent than the Spanish ones. Apparently the original Uillean pipes when called war pipes were the same as the Scottish ones, the designs parting company later.

Am sitting on a beach in Cadiz,contemplating. The failure of May over the C4NIC has shattered her confidence,she could have started A50 but is delaying. The markets have picked up the vibes,even till son is changing.
As a control freak she is losing control,that must be causing her to think again.
David Davis
looked uncomfortable when questioned about the no deal costing,she can't expect any help from Boris and Fox. It is obvious that we are not ready for the task.Must all be a worry.
I can see an election coming to give her the confidence to proceed.
Cadiz is a lovely city for a short break.

If we get a GE I would vote Liberal,That would be a first. So maybe would 16 million others. Ardent Brexiters would vote UKIP also a protest vote in the other direction . Labour may keep its core vote. It could be a disaster for May.

Theresa May made a tactical mistake today. She said that Scottish independence could destroy a good Brexit deal.
Isn't that giving power to Sturgeon ,who now realises that she only has to continue banging the Scottish referendum drum to put pressure on May.
Surprising that May would make such a basic error,she appears to be losing it.

..They are more suitable for indoor use . The piper would be ensconced in a stool and would be able to play for hours on end. I find it somewhat amusing that US and Canadian pagentry for "Irish" occasions use what we would see as Scottish kit.... Nothing against the Scots of course.
