Good-bye Election
Goodbye Election
That barrel full’s finally flushed,
He didn’t just go, he was pushed;
He followed his flow chart
To hell in a handcart,
And through a side door he eff-offed

UOC - the genuine conservative has the interest of the country
at heart. I look forward to your comments about the "far left", not least because its existence somehow seems to escape attention in today's political/media cosy world.
Oh and this for anyone interested in freedom of speech, writers, academics etc:

"caring conservatism"...? yer 'avin a larf!
An oxymoron if ever there was.
Thanks all for your likes and comments.
A year or so ago, I remarked to a friend that the Tories, in their race to the bottom, were absolutely devoid of trustworthiness and compassion in any aspect of government policy -domestic or foreign; and that in order to garner any kind of support they would scrape the barrel of dog-whistling nastiness.
My answer to you Keith is yes-much worse! I fear they will reorganise in the guise of a “Reform UK” party or similar, designed to appeal directly to racists and fascists.
Cruella Braverman has threatened pro-Palestinian anti-genocide protestors with police persecution, yet she allows this:

Not exactly a gracious exit, certainly. But what can you expect from the current crop? Now it seems even the oft-mispronounced chancellor plans to eff-off before the next election. What does he know that we don't?
I despair of British politics. We are ruled by mediocrity. A redundant two party state. No one in government has any vision for the future. After the second world war, in a time of great austerity, we endured rationing of essential commodities. I never thought I would see this nation in peace time with 'food banks'. Can it get any worse? the answer is yes.
Thank you Uilleam,
Keith
Unless the Tory Parliamentary Group regain their senses and
connect again with real caring conservatism via their angry grass- roots members and supporters (the concerns of middle
England rank with "the man on the Clapham omnibus") - then
they are consigning a great political party to a disappearing act
likely to last for a good while. The alternative is hardly rich in
what it offers, with hair shirts for the enterprising and hand-outs
for easy votes ahead.

Thanks MC. I’ve already explained at length that I don’t do “right and left wing” anymore; those terms are redundant in my philosphy; I prefer to stick to “right and wrong”.
That which some might regard as “far left” could well be described by others as fascistic, totalitarian, and a total cop-out to the forces of capitalist greed.
