Apparently the Sue Gray report is out. But No10 are keeping it under wraps.

Civil Servant: "Sire, the Report, shall we destroy it?"

BoJo: "If only we could, but its power is too great. Bury it deep. Somewhere no one will ever find it."

Who is the "best" Conservative Party member? Are there any?

I can't think of a single one I wouldn't deck on sight since Ken Clarke retired.

One of the things that got me properly into politics when I was a kid was going on a school trip to London and seeing Ken Clarke debate Tony Benn about economics - I think all of us except one came out agreeing with Benn, but the mature level of debate, the respect they showed each other and the intellectual depth that both could go to to justify their positions *without once accusing the other of being a Nazi* was actually inspiring.

I've had a guarded respect for Clarke ever since then despite rarely agreeing with him on anything but Europe.... but comparing him to the current Tory MPs is like comparing Eisenhower to Matt Gaetz. Today's Tory MPs would be clowned by most school debating clubs... they're not really politicians, they're just self-appointed custodians of power who are content to do or say anything that they think will result in another 4 years of lazing around on the Parliament benches. I shyt 'em.

One of the seemlingly postive things about the UK is that there is an environment of (albeit shrinking) "faux freedom" but that comes at a terrible cost.

People feel that they can "do what they want" withn limits but unfortunately the quid-pro-quo is their abandonment by the state and that TPTB in society are (even more) free to do what they want, which includes the desecraton of the economy longer-term and the marginlisaton of large sections of society.

All with a layer of sanctimonious "better than thou" piety, self-aggradising self-righteous assumed superiority and entitlement on top.

So true. And the right to drink a lot. Sad stuff.
