Well they couldn't call it the National Socialist conference could they? That would be an admission of guilt. They're still more likely to use the s word than Labour are tho. |

Oh, it's the National Conservatism Conference, is it? Looking at who was saying what in the news I thought it was National Stiff a Sunak day. For the sake of brevity, and brevity alone, shall we call it the nat-c conference? |

To go back to basics. Is anyone else creeped out by a non official party conference of the right wing of the Tory Party, including current government ministers, which is funded and organised by a shadowy, foreign right wing organisation?

That's bloody good! It took me a moment, but I got it (eventually  ).
It's works well as an abbreviation, since we all know what the 'c' stands for.....  |

+2 No foreign entity should be financing UK politics in any way, which may upset things somewhat. A foreign owned, UK based, company would be such an entity. |

But older people tend to be well off and have passports/driving licences or not so well off and have bus passes. Both of which were acceptable. I am an old fart but am not well off, and not poor, and have a passport, driving licence and bus pass. I had no problem voting. I treat local elections as something entirely different to national elections. Tory councils are generally better run than Labour or Lib Dem.
Nationally I usually vote Tory but have made a protest vote in the past and am very likely to do so at the next election.

'Well on the one hand, whilst Hitler may have started a war killing millions, and genocided hundreds of thousands of civilians, he also built good roads and got the trains running, so who can really say whether he was bad?' |

Well....he couldn't be all bad , he liked dogs after all . Though admittedly he did get a bit carried away . If only he'd have taken that pill ten years earlier ! |
