But aren't centrists essentially Nazi sympathisers? Or whatever Owen Jones-a-likes like to say?

I mean, its not what I want but its what I would accept. To be honest, at this point the nation would probably be grateful for just another conservative government that wasnt full of greedy, self serving fuckheads with learning disabilities.

Speak for yourself.
Black Wednesday, privatisation of rail and coal, getting rid of the Poll Tax but replacing it with the Community Charge, domestic fuel taxes, PFI, dissolution of the NEDC and Wage Councils.
He's seen as being a "decent Tory" now in comparison to what we have before us, but he's still a Tory.

Cap on Banker's bonuses officially scrapped: www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67206997Because our economy is doing so well it's time to give our financial institutions more freedom to take risks... |

The nineties were when the Tories were pretty crap, plus their corruption was backbenchers rather than ministers, today's Tories are complete shit, completely corrupt, incompetent and mental so a tad different.
There's only a handful of one nation Tory MPs left and they're keeping their heads down after the Johnson purge of 2019.

THREE-QUARTERS of Brits want a General Election before May
A petition calling for a General Election has also surpassed a quarter of a million signatures.
Of course the tories don't want this as they will get rightfully booted from office but they have made the country a worse place
Unfunding the NHS and police for years some groups can scream "gas the jews" and "jIhAd" and the met police will piss themself with fear as they don't want to be seen as racist record number of shoplifting wasting huge amount of tax payers money took the UK out of the EU from advisory vote whole host of cunts in office rotating PM Gaslighting the public more tory sleaze and corruption
no doubt there is a load more things, the trash needs to be taken out

never did found what kind of melt it was, 4 cheese melt, bacon and cheese melt?

So Nigel Farage, Jacob Reese Mogg and Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson were looking after their rich mates in the city all along. At least we have the consolation that no one could possibly have foreseen this. Such a towering, superhuman intellect is beyond mortal man. And that's probably for the best. |

In my defence, it was 30 odd years ago. |

Rain from the East? It's the bloody Russians fault or maybe the Chinese.

Considering how many of the fuckwits we've got in government that went to public schools it shows that a lot of them are rubbish if that's what they produce.

They don't want to be MPs to serve the country (or the money). They use the position for the connections, the 2nd and 3rd jobs, the kickbacks to their private interests. Banning 2nd jobs should be Labour's first act.

The size and scale of it is staggering. Even a snivelling halfwit like Jenrick has managed to enrich himself up to multi-millionaire.

Government pays £15.3m for derelict land that sold for £6.3m a year ago for immigration and asylum
