I think I made it fairly clear before the 2019 election that I thought an almighty clusterf*** was coming if Johnson's cabal was elected as it was the same lot who had constantly lied their way through a referendum 3 years earlier and then undermined their own Government in order to make a power grab.

But their constant daily corruption, incompetence, dishonesty, amoral, egotistical, pompous, narcissistic lies, have actually exceeded even my expectations, and this is long before the various enquiries actually reveal the truth of what went on through the early part of their reign and the Covid crisis

Rather a one-sided poll but reflects the mood. (97.2 for yes}

Modern Conservatism is a bust. This is a government that should take decades to regroup from.

My hope is that the likes of Braverman and Anderson are finished, and that the party slowly rebuilds itself into something solid and decent (strong opposition is important)

My fear is that having infiltrated the party, the lunatics are now running that particular asylum, and they’ll double down on the politics of hate and division.

Until I can see the far-right ejected from them, my voting record will be strictly:

Anyone
But
Conservative

If Trump wins in the US the Tories loon fringe will feel enpowered and go full batshit

Heard a great interview with Rory Stewart on Radio 5 this afternoon. Even he thinks his party has been taken over by batshit mental swivel-eyed loons (my words, but his intimation ) and he has concerns over whether himself and the traditional conservatives will ever get it back in the foreseeable

As she tried to do yesterday but it got overlooked, today she again tried to blame schools for the crisis.

Her words;

“get off their backsides”

…are not an accident. They will have been carefully chosen to speak to the section of the electorate who believes Britain and Brexit could be Great if the wokey-cokey scum just stopped looking for handouts and did some bloody graft.

How is she going to explain the hospitals, Courts etc who also have RAAC concrete? I suppose she can pass the buck to other government departments.

After their coming defeat they’ll go hard right under Braverman, and be suitably punished at the ballot box all being well

I presume they’ll have to dig some sort of ditch to put all the raac into?

Two birds, one stone…

That was Rory Stewart's major worry when being interviewed this afternoon and I think he still speaks for a lot of traditional conservatives, most of whom have now been kicked out of the party or sidelined completely.

However, at the end of the day, they had their chance to reclaim their party, but very few of them were prepared to actually stand up to Johnson, Sunak, Truss, Gove, Patel, Kwarteng, Braverman and the rest of the cabal and the shit they spouted forth, even though they knew and understood it was all lies.

Sensible Conservatives knew and understood exactly what was happening but when actually confronted with a decision, they chose to retain power over doing what they knew was morally right. If it takes generations to reclaim their party, it is down to them

Great post and accurate, IMO.

This is the result of having a cabinet that is made up of “characters”. Bullying thugs who won’t stand for anything but total compliance.
And an outer ring of weaklings who would rather protect their income than take the brown-shirts to task.

Bullies and weaklings. What a government.

To be fair 21 rebels against No Deal were thrown out in 2019, by Johnson, and local Conservative, due to the big con of Get Brexit Done.
Others like Anderson, Gullis etc eagerly took their place just for power.

I think the problem with Rory (and I've spoken to people who've worked with him) he comes from a background where he really really doesn't understand how the other half live.

Fill the party with those know exactly how the other half live, but seemingly despise them they are where they are.

They took years to try and offload the "nasty party" label and they've ramped it up ten fold.

Not surprising though. They are cornered, run out of ideas and steam all their have is their base.

The government is now filled with the privately educated, posh, good-for-nothing, children of probably quite hard working, well meaning, professionals.

Braverman, Sunak, Keegan, Mogg. And earlier, Truss and Kwarteng et al.

All the useless siblings/children of fairly respectable people.

These are the dregs who blew their allowance, bungled their education, fluffed business deals. There’s nothing left for them but the gravy train of British politics.
Placed in positions where they can funnel funds into the accounts of the elite.
Good for nothing else.

What I'd like to see is a list of reasons why millions of people voted for them.

I say list . . . Half a dozen legitimate reasons would be astounding.
