They walked past

Yesterday was the anniversary of the wall of remembrance.

Yesterday Johnson held a dinner for all the Tory MPs.

Yesterday the bereaved families stood outside of the hotel as an act of remembrance.

Yesterday not a single Tory MPs recognised the bereaved existence as they walked by.

Yesterday not a single Tory MP offered a word of condolence.

As Gordon Brown said. “

“There is hardship and they don’t hear

There is suffering and they don’t see

There is pain and they walk on by”

What has the Tory Party become?

Call me Pollyanna, but I do believe there are still people who aim to go into politics because they genuinely want to do a good job for their constituencies. However, the current government must surely put off anyone thinking of standing for election on a Conservative ticket. The lying, corruption, cronyism and elitism is surely too blatant for anyone with any integrity to ignore.

Not a single post in support of the government?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hope this translates into votes?.

The reason no one other than yourselves bothers to post with this sort of post, is because your views are so deeply entrenched, we I wave you to all agree. I prefer unbiased factual discussion, you don't have to endorse everything your party does , far from it, but all this anger at everything is wearying, but never mind Captain Hindsight will sort it.

We wave you all agree, should have read, we let you all agree,

Ah I thought that might be the case. An agreed plan of action?!

There does seem to be a remarkable outbreak of people saying across different threads how all this anger is bad for our health. A suspicious person might think it was co-ordinated.

Has a GN splinter group been formed ??

Allsorts, I look forward to reading your 'positive' take on why those Tory MPs walked past, on their way to yet another party, without acknowledging the wall of remembrance ceremony, and the attending bereaved families. Captain Hindsight? Seriously? Yes, I much prefer a politician who can look back and learn from mistakes, to one who continuously repeats the same errors. If people have the sense and courage to use tactical voting in the local elections this May...

I'm intrigued to discover how we can expect 'unbiased rational discussion' from someone who loftily demands it and then says 'Captain Hindsight' in their next breath hmm
