What have we had from the Tories?

 

"Waaah the pandemic"

"Waaah the war in Ukraine"

"Let's talk about us and decide who we want to be as a party, and which 5 families who belongs in which", instead of the future of the country

Utter ****e ministers Sir Gavin Williamson and his spider, Esther McVey saying she's all about common sense, while her and hubby gorge themselves on expenses; endless culture war nonsense from utterly ridiculous and low rent MPs e.g. Kemi, Suella and Nadine Dorris - the Culture secretary who doesn't know that Channel 4 isn't a publically funded broadcaster. Not to mention the dreck that is Boris and Lettuce Liz 😂

 

“5 families “ ?

Yep - I believe it was a term used in the Godfather book and films for the 5 crime families.

 

Corleone crime family 

Tattaglia crime family.

Barzini crime family

Stracci crime family.

 

In the Conservative Party before the election, various members were droning on in newspapers and broadcast studios about various groupings (according to political preference) 

ERG, NRG, PopCons etc.

Which was all infuriating as they were endlessly talking about themselves, and not attending to or even recognising the problems which they had subjected the people in the country to.

 But why was he there ? After years of silence he’s been on various things the last few days.

Probably because there's a labour government, and he's made some suggestions to the government (e.g. on I.D. cards), which they've rejected

Also on advising Sir Starmer on whether or not a woman can have a boiled hock .
