''jura the fact they left the party is surely evidence that they didn't pretend to agree with him!
For Mr. Ashworth to make those comments to someone he knew was a Conservative supporter shows a great lack of judgement.''
But how long did they pretend before they left- including some who are still there!
As for 'lack of judgement' - I'd tend to agree- because I would not trust any Tory now. But it shows that he was prepared to trust someone, a friend, despite him being a Tory - lack of judgement, but in a way, isn't it what so many are asking here, agree to disagree, be tolerant of others - don't fally out with friends just because they are from 'the other side' ... As said, I do believe it says more about the friend who betrayed his trust ... despicable and below the belt.
So WHO WAS THAT PERSON? Are we not allowed to know who he is?
