^ Our forefathers also ensured we have a right to freedom of speech, Bobbi. And that includes criticising the government of the day, irrespective of whether or not we used our right to vote.

Ministers 'hiding from their own conference' - Labour
Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting has criticised government ministers for "hiding".
It comes after a number of members of the government and Liz Truss supporters pulled out of events at the Tory Party conference in Birmingham.
Mr Streeting said: "We're used to seeing Conservative ministers hiding from the voters, it's something else to see them hiding from their own conference.
"The Conservatives have destroyed their economic credibility and damaged trust in the British economy.
"No wonder they're hiding."
It’s all gone a bit Pete Tong hasn’t it?

/More from 'This has an end of days feel': The amount of poison being dripped in ears at Tory conference is striking
Presumably the prime minister wanted Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng to take heat of the U-turn announcement, so waited until his media round this morning to make the move.
But if the government had acted earlier, the Michael Gove and Grant Shapps criticism would have been neutralised and conference wouldn't have got off to such a messy, divided start.
Another point on the "why didn't they U-turn earlier?" list: the PM did a round of 11 ITV regional interviews last night, to be aired tonight at 6pm.
Many are now out of date due to the 45p policy change.
One of the things that has been striking as you tour the conference hotel bars is the amount of poison that is being dripped in ears.
"This has an end of days feel," one minister tells me.
Others are sanguine about changing career after losing their seats.
One big donor was blunt in their assessment of Liz Truss, saying simply: "She's finished."/
Fair assessment I’d say.

MissTerious,
//Lol, in your dotage you’ve got ‘aggressive’ confused with ‘forthright’.
I meant aggressive
Not forthright!
And please less LOLs!!//
Aw bless you! Don’t seem to mind though when there’s plenty of MAABOF’s, TROP’s, TROB’s and 5CP’s? Not been so many PMSL’s though by a certain poster lately?
Aren’t you missing him? Lol

//Not sure how Fatti is being aggressive. 'Werthers Warriors' is a joke, no worse than '5C' or 'TROB' etc. And he's not ranting as claimed earlier.
It's the usual response - attack the poster rather than try to refute his arguments//
Indeed, standard from a certain poster/posters when they have no credible response, basic diversionary tactic when the Tory party are mired in controversy and ineptitude.

/Johnson loyalist suggests Truss calls an election to get 'whole new mandate'
Nadine Dorries, who was a culture secretary under Boris Johnson before supporting Liz Truss, has suggested Ms Truss should call a general election.
She appears to be disgruntled with the PM rowing back on policy promised in the 2019 Conservative manifesto.
Ms Dorries said: "Widespread dismay at the fact that three years of work has effectively been put on hold.
"No one asked for this. Channel 4 sale, online safety, BBC licence fee review - all signed off by cabinet all ready to go, all stopped.
"If Liz wants a whole new mandate, she must take to the country."/
She’s not wrong! Lol

/PM economic advisor insists he warned of mini-budget risk after chancellor denial
An economic advisor to Liz Truss has insisted he warned the government over their mini-budget plans.
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng denied that he had been warned about his financial plans while talking to journalists this morning.
But Gerard Lyons, an external counsel to Ms Truss, told the PA News agency: "Well, that's incorrect - I was very clear."
But Mr Lyons said he had "no view" on this morning's U-turn.
"I was critical of that immediately after the mini-statement and said so publicly on the record, but it's up to them what they do in terms of U-turns," he added.
Mr Lyons, the chief economic strategist at Netwealth, previously said that the chancellor "overstepped the mark" with his mini-budget and failed to adequately prepare the markets ahead of his announcement./
Someone’s telling porkies!
