Like Milliband eating a bacon sandwich.

Gulliver the reason I voted tory was because they were the only ones who said we would leave the EU which was what I wanted to do. The others either wanted to stay in or just make it sound like we were leaving. I am not tunneled visioned as in the past I have voted for other parties. I vote for the party who say they will do a similar thing to what I want not for the same one every time.

Mushroom - there could be enough Tory MPs who see the light, who don't want an autocratic PM and who therefore end up voting against the government. Let's all hope so for the sake of this country.

Diddly, dream on, won't happen.

Danny - don't be so sure.

[dannyk13]

Oh, i'm sure.

Not surprising given recent barring and resulting walk-out of a press briefing. From memory the UK ranked around 40th in the last list of press freedom by country. It'll be interesting to see the next issue/update - expect significant "progress".

Good if it were, but I doubt it. If by freedom you mean free to tell lies & distort the truth as they did with Sir Roger Scruton, then I don't want that kind of "freedom".

13.06, Hope he had HP Sauce on it.

How many ‘if this doesn’t worry you, what does’ type of posting have we had and are we going to get I wonder!!!

[douglas9401]

It's a worry right enough, cassa.

I think the Labour party will get 2 votes at least in the next GE...that will wipe the smile of Boris's face :-)
