I THOUGHT it outrageous that at the televised debate between the leaders of the parties, Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn refused to join in.

The General Election was, after all, called by Mrs May and I would have thought that she of all people would be pleased to show how competent she is and show her debating skills but, no, she treats the public with contempt.

My impression is our Mother Theresa would much prefer to dictate her policies and woe betide anyone who wants to debate them.
