And she didn't go to Public school! What are the tory bashers going to throw at her?
Not quite true.
The 1st Duke of Newcastle succeeded Henry Pelham. He was Pelham's brother and also born in Sussex. His second term ended in 1762, so May is the first Sussex-born PM for 254 years

Is it the same Pelham family that built the Stanmer Estate?

Wrong Sir. Although borne buried in Laughton. The younger brother the erstwhile Duke of Newcastle was born in Belgravia. Which in those days, as now is in the City Of Westminster.
From the official government website (and a link I posted earlier)
"Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, was one of the eighteenth century’s great political survivors and served as First Lord of the Treasury through peace and war. Born in Sussex in July 1693 ..."

CMD was the first privately educated leader since Alec Douglas Home, nearly 50 years earlier.
The next six leaders were all state educated

May is pro-hunting, voted for the Iraq war and military intervention in Syria, one of the architects of the bedroom tax, against raising welfare benefits in line with inflation, a supporter of lowering the top rate of tax...
There's plenty to throw at that vile woman.

The trouble will really kick off once those folk who voted for Brexit discover that she has no intention of expelling the East Europeans already settled in the UK. That is why most of them voted out.

Your support is not that great
Theresa May was born in Eastbourne but did she ever actually live in the town, or indeed Sussex?

Just what the country needs, a spiteful vindictive old hag without a soul or conscience. Mind you once Trump is in she'll fit right in on the World stage with him and Putin for company. Hate the bitch.

It didn't take long for the gender-specific insults to appear. As someone else said, thank goodness she's not also Jewish. I can just imagine what some people would call her.
