      She's a second hander (doesn't have her own ideas) repeating the party line without question (or comprehension) because to doubt would mean challenging her leaders (party) by her own mind. So she's blindly dutiful whilst wielding force; i.e. she has State resources at her disposal.
      This could be said for nearly all politicians. But her abandonment of self-directed thought never mind critique makes her politically beyond reason.
      If she were my next door neighbour I wouldn't pass such a comment because in effect she'd be harmless to others.

      Constant racism and abuse will slow a person down over time. She has been the most hated female MP for decades inspite of all she has done for her constituency. Tories have not helped the UK you just need to look at how broken down it has become and in comparison to the rest of Europe England looks like the third world. That was not done under labour yet the hate still flows their way. It is tiring to battle all that she has had to go through. I admire her continued strength.
