...and yet she got herself into the driving seat of one of the great offices of State.
She's many, many things, including dishonest, but I don't think she's an idiot. Even chode in human form, Mark Francois, is not an idiot.
Gullis though...
National Service? They've lost the f*cking plot.
What have the Armed Services done to deserve this?
All that education and she still believes the old bollocks we used to tell each other when smoking joints in the sixth form car park.
Literally. Only I stopped believing it as an adult and when it was in the news I looked it up. She gobbed off about it in parliament.
She's an idiot.
Crack on though, you're at 5.6k. What's your next target?
Care to elaborate for those of us not dedicated to following her career?
Father Christmas?
That's as maybe, but I think she has a point here...
Forgot to mention she won the 2005 Richard Titmuss Prize at the London School of Economics. Clearly the mark of an idiot, as überbrain forum-user "Wimjim" will doubtless tell us again, shortly before outlining what it is that differentiates himself from Creasy in the idiot stakes.
Here's her voting record, btw:

We can discuss just how dim you need to be to be classed as an idiot - but it's relative isn't it. In terms of the requirement of the job, I reckon she's an idiot. Dishonesty - that's about her greatest 'skill'.
Her "flexible networking" comments were pretty stupid too, or at least very ill judged. Having children isn't a penalty unless it's been forced upon you doubtless horrific circumstances.
Tampons are classed as luxury items so attract VAT whereas men's razors are classed as essential items so are VAT exempt. It was bollocks in 1994 when I was stoned in a car park and it was bollocks when Creasy stood up in the house of commons and said it in two thousand and whenever. It was also one of the arguments put forward in favour of us leaving the EU.
Really weird hill to die on, especially when the key point is, or rather was, the tax levied on essential sanitary products. She mentioned a bunch of products which she compared to tampons, and you are losing your shît about razors
Is it OK if I post, by the way? I forgot to ask your permission before I did it.
