AND so it came to pass that June did signify the end of May, and the only coalition of chaos to be seen was the one of her own making.

The hypocrisy of such a potentially fatal move with regards to the Northern Ireland peace process is thoroughly irresponsible and could undo 20 years' work towards hard-earned peace. The lack of regard for the wellbeing of not only the Irish but for the country as a whole only goes to strengthen the suspicion that Theresa May is more of a cynical opportunist then even her insistence on an unnecessary snap election in the first place would suggest.

I wonder, will the bumbling buffoon that is Boris be voicing his stringent opinions with regard to 'terrorist sympathiser' slurs that he so vehemently voiced with regard to Jeremy Corbyn’s past attempts to broker peaceful dialogue with Sinn Fein, now that his discredited party leader has, without hesitation, flirted with the paramilitary-connected DUP, or do the deaths of countless Catholics not count?

Her plan to smash all opposition has rebounded and slapped her in her arrogant face. Her attempts to bury all in an all-consuming landslide have only served to bury her and her vaulting ambition and career. Let that be a warning to all those who follow in her well-heeled footsteps.

Were it not for the unfortunate gamble of Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP’s suggestion of a second Scottish independence referendum, the Scottish Conservative vote would, most probably, not have been a lifeline.

When you consider the Scottish Conservatives weren’t voting for the weak and wobbly May, you can see in real terms how badly she did.

May’s share of the vote and seats is greatly reduced. If we discount the Scottish Conservatives and when you add all the other votes for all the other parties, and their share of the vote, you will see how truly abhorrent the vast majority of the voters found May, her arrogance and tangible disconnect and disregard for the electorate.

In a time of Conservative-induced austerity and being on the brink of the biggest negotiations in Britain’s recent history, is it, I wonder, any time to be wasting £140,000,000 of taxpayers' hard-earned money on shameless political vanity and ill-advised hubris.

Apart from the appalling and frankly exploitative manifesto and her robotic rhetoric, who knew that, when she was referring to her team, she wasn’t referring to cabinet members and other elected conservative MPs, but to her inner coven of advisors who apparently bullied and excluded anyone and everyone who didn’t agree or conform with their particular brand of social exploitation?

The public should have been made aware of these anti-democratic practices. Were the cabinet too scared to speak out? They, and any one else involved in such practices, should resign, so too should all the Conservative candidates that pinned their colours to the 'Maypole', campaigning under the banner of 'Standing with Theresa May'.

Surely, when she is eventually put out of her own and everybody else’s misery and is out to pasture on the scrap heap marked 'failure', all those Conservative candidates that so eagerly followed her, should do what’s right for the county and follow her out of public life for good as they are all tarnished with the same unacceptable brush.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to our well-informed young who, like so many sectors of our society, have been abused and abandoned by the uncaring party of the rich, for the rich, for way too long.
