Are The Torys In Decline.

[gulliver1]

It has terrible whiff of decay about it at the moment. The next couple of years will bring existential signs with a crushing defeat at the GE and then disarray amongst the Party. After winning a victory election three years ago it is about to go into decline for years to come
At the moment it reminiscent of the last months of Thatcher Major and May. ...The Con party is full of sleaze and corruption with local elections and by.elections they are being defeated heavily. It seems the voters have stopped listening to the Tories after 13 years, and have made their minds up it's time for a change , they have got away with it for far too long.
...Good Riddance..

No doubt at the GE, the public will remember.Boris
Partygate, Paterson, Pincher, Zahawi, Truss and the Con Party drifting from crisis to crisis and nothing is working .Least of all the British work force.

It seems to me, that no matter what political party you vote for, it's the Civil Service that runs the country.

I don't know why many of you have started using the word "eejit", but it's not an appropriate word to throw at other members. Site rule number one.

[gulliver1]

If the huge defeat of the Tory Party at the Local elections was just a rehearsal. God help them at the General election. Hope they have their tin hats at the ready

09.37 Spare Ed."eejit" is a made up word .
together with 5c .

'Eejit' is an Irish way of saying 'idiot'. It was in common use by the Christian Brothers when I had the good fortune to be taught by them.

[ABSpareEditor]

gulliver1, it's not a made-up word.

Well said. The Tories are now treading water and waiting out the last months of its government. It really is time for a change. And Labour cannot do any worse.

16.07 Doolally *TAP*

//Yes, thanks, Gully. I was actually going to use the correct term of Deolali-Tap (Deolali being the place in India where the Royal Artillery Concert Party featured in “It Ain’t Half Hot Mum” was based). But thanks for the correction.//

In real life it was a holding camp for time expired soldiers awaiting a troopship to blighty. Apart from painting stones white they had nothing to do and boredom quickly set in and the men started to go Doolally.
An expression used to be heard in Wales and by my father. It was Doolally Tup. ' The man's gone 'tup' indeed' The expression was used in the Hugh Grant film 'The man who climbed up a hill and came down a Mountain'. Just thought you might like to know that gem. :-)
