    Why does she still get attention?

    She speedran meaningfully damaging an already damaged economy when given power in days. Her ideas demonstrably lack merit.

    Unless her following is literally just people waiting for her to say something else stupid

      Mostly because she says stuff like this, and it gets attention.

      It is pretty funny. Outside of the current global climate, it’s pretty funny.

      Probably because she is the second third* ever female UK Prime Minister.

      That alone means her (incredibly stupid) comments have public interest.

      *I have been reminded again that I can’t count (fair).

          I’d like to say that I didn’t count Thatcher as a human, but the truth is i just totally forgot Theresa May.

          Corrected, cheers.

          I’m not sure she was even human. Might have been an MI5 project to create a lifelike android to infiltrate and take over Parliament.
