The Conservative Party

[BrianW]

They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose

Essentially, nothing has changed since these words were written in the 17th Century. 'Stealing' is what the ruling class say it is. When they do it (for example by shorting the pound or taking bribes from foreign powers for influence) they define it as 'not stealing'. As a breach of trivial rules at worst. Some Committee tuts, the Daily Mail says it's a leftie plot against some noble statesman and nothing whatever is done.

What this country needs is radical reform. I see no hope whatever of us having it in the foreseeable future as the British public are supine and only get worked up about things that the ruling class tell them to get worked up about. Asylum seekers in boats, for example.

Shapps embarrassingly evasive as Victoria Derbyshire interrogates him.

VicD - will the HS2 line run all the way from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly

Tory Liar - I am not the PM of the Chancellor

VicD - until very recently you were the Transport Secretary

I see the Tories are preparing another rat run for people to attend their conference so they can get their pictures of angry lefties booing and egging them. JRM will be nursing his semi at the thought of it.

The lefties that go should boycott it. The optics of an empty street would show how distant they are from the electorate they are supposed to represent over their donors.

Going out with a bang aren’t they!

They've not gone yet.

Remember 1992.

The income tax cut trap that turned the GE in their favour.

Hunt could announce something like this which comes in April 2024 and Sunak calls a May Election.

Levelling Up is a single line from ? to ? HS2 is the fucking sad death of this Government - fucking shambolic

I agree but sadly there’s nothing the far left love more than a good old protest.
