I think you have identified something. perhaps akin to a Jeremy Kyle show, where a beaten partner is exposing their lover's brutal lie-ridden regime. And ultimately professing, (defying all logic)...."But I luurves him"

Not all Tory supporters. Just those on the right of the party. Those who I hope are going to soon up and leave, and fall into the arms of Farage and Reform. Then we will achieve the long overdue shake-up of British politics and some honesty within it, followed by PR and coalitions. ROTFLMAO
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

But he's not an anti semite like your beloved Floreat Corbyn.

Boris Johnson and ‘entitled’ Tory Etonians have damaged Britain, admits former Eton master: ‘I failed’ A former Eton master has lashed out at Boris Johnson and other senior Tories who attended the elite private school – saying they had damaged the “very fabric” of the country. John Claughton said he had “failed” to educate former pupils such as the former PM, former Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg and ex-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng properly. The ex-master, at Eton from 1984 to 2001, said in a letter to The Times the school had not done its job in trying to remove the sense of “privilege, entitlement and omniscience” from its star Tory alumni. “Perhaps its most important mission will be to ensure that its pupils are saved from the sense of privilege, entitlement and omniscience that can produce alumni such as Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Kwasi Kwarteng and Ben Elliot and thereby damage a country’s very fabric.”

If Lefty teachers want to know why this country is a mess, they should look in the mirror.

Almost any south London comprehensive would do.

Btw, its NOT just the officers who swear allegiance, ALL service personnel do! Edited by eagleman13 (14 Jun 2023 1.07pm)
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |
