... as you see more and more of Liz Truss on the telly, have you had your equivalent of the Kinnock Moment yet?

i am not a conservative myself but i grew up around plenty… though i disagreed with them fundamentally i could always understand their ideas and where they came from… duty to others above oneself, a social contract between the old and the young… respect for traditions… they seemed to think that the entitlements of wealth and power came with responsibilities and duties to those who had neither…

watching fatticus video and speaking to “tories” today i really do not understand what they believe in. For what reason are the tories in power? What are they out to achieve? the answer seems to be nothing. What are the conservatives out to conserve? The only answer I can see looking at the country they have been running for 12 years is… misery.

i asked a while ago if anything about life in the Uk had been improved by the tories in the last 12 years… and got no answers… i can’t think of anything either.

Yep, noblesse oblige or (to quote Spiderman's uncle Ben) "with great power comes great responsibility". That does seem far less common now than it used to be, Boris being archetypical of its loss ...
