As typical for women in power, May is good in staying the course. But no creativity under nebulous existential circumstances, whatsoever.
They are not restricted by their deplorables, really.
This fault line, loosely between the disaster banksters and the industrial financiers, has run through the Tory party since the Lawson boom (swiftly followed by the Lawson bust as all his stupid giveaways bankrupted the economy). The red-in-tooth-and-claw capitalists versus those who manage the economy for good business and industry. They pretend they are on the same side, ie against the working classes and the precariat, but beyond that, their aims and means are in complete opposition. The EU is the touchestone, their Tesseracht.
Cameron's entire idea about the referendum was to try to shut one side up, but they were too strong for him. May has tried to appease them, but they will soon devour her too keep to the Fen Causeway
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is facing calls to apologise for apparently calling Theresa May a "stupid woman" during Prime Minister's Questions. The prime minister was mocking Mr Corbyn during heated exchanges, telling him to "look behind you" when he was caught on camera muttering words. [...] A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said: "He did not call her a stupid woman and so I don't think there's any basis for an apology. As I understand it, he said 'stupid people'."

Britain is to ban advertising showing women who can't park or men who struggle to change a nappy in a crackdown on gender stereotypes, the industry watchdog said on Friday. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said a review had found some stereotypes were harmful, citing ads that belittle men for carrying out tasks seen as female, or suggest new mothers should prioritise looking good over emotional wellbeing [...] From next June, adverts featuring a depiction of gender roles that could cause offence or harm will be axed, it said. The ban will apply to broadcast and non-broadcast media, including TV, radio, newspapers and social media.

Ms. Magazine helpfully illustrates that sexism is hardly isolated to the boy side of the Lego aisle. Lego figures meant for girls now have slimmer waists and actual busts. The strict, bold, primary palette of the Lego bricks I remember from childhood has been replaced by the pinks and blushes that characterize the girl aisle of the toy store.
We'll have our local MRA around in a second to explain why girls don't like construction toys due to evolutionary pressures in a moment.
RACIST!!&SEXIST!!

Why? you might ask. I'll tell you. LEGO shapes were punched in primary colors (and still are) as were many manipulatives for early childhood development. And, yes, I did not buy my toys. Santa delivered them.
So what's 'different' 50 years later about LEGO, CREATIVE PLAY THINGS, or PLAY MOBILE product lines?
Consumer demand for 'gendered' product lines. You (pl.) demand context-specific manipulatives, Evil Corp delivers. Children demand 'gendered' products 'as seen on TV!', Santa delivers.
The irony at this point is, the world is living through neurotic projections of an aimless political class of persons, who alternately express contempt for and pride in 'femininity' or 'masculinity'.
imbeciles Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
FIFTH WAVE is intellectually bankrupt but flush with cash as are, of course, all parents and all children across the world who struggle, inexplicably, against involuntary, color-coded 'gender' assignment foisted on them by Evil Corp in the aisles and in the trash heaps of 'first world' dysphoria.
