Isn't it time this Davis creature was shown the door?
Yes, of course it is; indeed, it's way past time but May has a problem with that.
In any other workplace, Davis would have been dismissed for sheer incompetence but because he, Fox and Co were her handpicked selections to do the job in Brussels, May is stuck. When she made those appointments, she needed the most sycophantic, bum-lickers she could think of on her side as she was unsure of her ground and knew there were others on the far right whose determination to crash out of the EU would undermine her position.
Were she to sack any of those obsequious, self-aggrandising clowns now, what would that say about her Prime Ministerial judgement? Her tenure of office is no more secure now than it was when she took office, indeed it may be less so due to her inability to speak to the nation and be warmly received. The woman really needs something to happen, like Thatcher's slice of serendipity with the Argentinian invasion of the Falklands, to gel the nation and give everyone a sense of purpose.
May has presided over the biggest comedy of errors I can remember and if Shakespeare were still around, he could create a blockbuster from this tory government's faux pas that would eclipse his early work of that name.
Does anyone remember Fred Karno? This sprang to my mind, only on account of the madness and mayhem associated with Karno's comedy:
We are Fred Karno's army, Fred Karno's infantry;
We cannot fight, we cannot shoot, so what damn good are we?
But when we get to Berlin,The Kaiser he will say, Hoch, hoch, mein Gott,
Vot a bloody fine lot, Fred Karno's infantry.
