Neither Due Nor Diligent

John Major was neither nice nor a ditherer. Margaret Thatcher was not iron. And anyone who had watched her long and chaotic tenure at the Home Office already knew that Theresa May was neither strong nor stable.

It comes as no surprise to us she exercised no due diligence before continuing to award contracts to Carillion even after it was obviously collapsing; her shrieks about Wales and Leeds are welcome rebukes to the anti-Corbyn Labour machines in the Welsh Assembly and in local government.

And it comes as no surprise to us that she exercised no due diligence before appointing a Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party who wanted to sterilise the poor. Indeed, was there anyone available who did not hold that view? Mrs May had already exercised no due diligence in seeking to give control of the entire university sector to a close friend of several of her Cabinet who was a published eugenicist, and who in that capacity consorted with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and advocates of the rape of children who had been drugged for the purpose.
