I've never voted for the Tories but lately I've come to see them as our only hope. Some hope! '... the party is purely a vehicle for the acquisition of political power for an unscrupulous and intellectually vapid group of nobodies.' This applies to all parties, surely. So it's the system, stupid. What a mess. Love your blog though.

True, but the difference being that every so often a strange and misguided sense of optimism about the Tories seems to grab people...

Fool me once, shame on you etc

Beautifully couched Deborah! I was amused when Frederick, having pointed out that none of the proclaimers is actually Thatcher, termed them 'non entities'. English is a joy.

Excellent article .... a shame it is completely lacking in hope but then again as there is no hope to be found it is perhaps unrealistic to expect Fred to provide some. It is a shame liz truss seems to be so favoured by the Conservative party as she strikes me as being an embarrassingly awful foreign secretary and I feel that this skill-set is unfortunately fully transferable should she become prime minister.

The lack of talent might be amusing, were it not so serious!
