BBTory is trying to spin the story by saying it shows how strong she is for asking him to resign!! :lol: Could not make it up. Meanwhile in other ALMOST VERGING ON SATIRE news, the Faily Mail has BEMOANED IT, saying he should not have been forced out!! It's just incredible

Yes, the claim that Green's departure somehow shows May to be a strong leader is utterly barking. If she is such a strong leader, why is there still a fat numpty in the Foreign Office?

No. The vacancy won't necessarily be filled at all.

 

For cryptic crossword fans, here is a topical clue...

 

And I am reckless naive politician (6,5)

He has a brass neck - the NHS symbolises Everything the Tory party hates - socialised answers to societies ills.

Not sure if this has come up before, but if it has, I missed it :

 

Jeremy Hunt ridiculed for claiming Tories 'set up' the NHS

He is very selective in his "facts". The White Paper was not commissioned by a Tory government, it was the wartime coalition. William Beveridge, who wrote it, was a Liberal. It is true that the 1945 Tory manifesto included a commitment to implement the report, but that didn't stop them voting against the Attlee government when they did just that.

Churchill was one of its main opponents comparing nationalisation to the nazis and needing a gestapo to enforce.

he was clearly as fond of hyperbole as some in this forum... :P

He was also chancellor in the 20s and caused a lot of the need/want which led to the conditions which would cause the crash so it's understandable why he lost the 1945 election - very much a Victorian when it came to economics and social issues!

Indeed. The fact than many working-class people despised Churchill tends to glossed over.

It would be hard to beat Trump for hyperbole. I would say he was the most prolific user of hyperbole ever, but you might not get the joke.

And yet now they love UKIP/Farage!

He was also strongly opposed to Indian independence.

You underestimate me. :)

Again proof of his Victorian Britannia rules the Waves values!

 

He flirted with liberalism because for a time he felt the 1909 welfare bills were necessary to ward off a communist revolution!

Not sure where to put this, but today is, "Let's Remember the Daily Mail Supported Hitler Day" :lol: Some people are even holding 'celebrations' to get the message oot!

Answers on a postcard... :rolleyes:

 

We're talking 80 years ago FFS - a lot of people got fooled by Hitler, until they found out what he was really like! :puke:

Same family, same propaganda, same techniques, same tax-dodging behind it...

 

Now if they had moved to occupy a sane centre-ground position, or left, or any other sort of political viewpoint, then one could quite rightly say that...

 

For example just because DTrumps dad was a KKK-supporting rich racist that doesn't mean he is - if he'd proven he wasn't by his actions and statements. Ooops, seems often to run in families, what a shock, who knew!
