Theresa May was the victim of a signage failure at the recent Conservative Conference in Manchester
May had to deal with a sore throat, as well as a stunt from comedian Lee Nelson, where he handed May a fake P45 form from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. May had to stop regularly due to coughing fits, and was handed a lozenge by Chancellor Philip Hammond.
Not only that, but the letters mounted to the wall decided to make a bid for freedom. The slogan originally read, ‘Building a country that works for everyone’ but by the end of the event said, ‘Buiding a cntry tha orks’.
The signage failure provided Britain’s top daily newspapers with front page stories, some arguing that the conference was a farce, whilst others praised May for continuing.
During the conference, May announced that more money will be given to the building of social housing, as well as a cap on energy prices. Let us hope these plans last longer than the signage did.
