Just how stupid do the Tories think we are?

You know if any politician is lying - their lips are moving.🙄

There are a few notable exceptions, but the vast majority (all parties) are self serving, hypocritical, money grabbers.😗

I sometimes wonder if they were in fact any better before. We hear more now because of the internet and social media but perhaps they were always a bunch of self serving egotists? I really don’t know.

I think it takes a "certain" type of person to succeed in politics. I watched the 1990 mini-series House of cards this week, set in Westminster, and thoroughly enjoyed it

Agree 100% and an excellent series. Far better than the American version.

I believe it takes a certain type of narcissistic personality to go into politics.

You're no more cynical then I am. I think it takes a "certain" type of person to succeed in politics. I watched the 1990 mini-series House of cards this week, set in Westminster, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As the French would say, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose".

You’re an idealist Whitewave.
It’s nice to be an idealist because you believe things can be changed. Sadly I lost that a long time ago and now I’m just cynical.

No, not all politicians are as bad as what we have been landed with lately.

I give you Johnson, Truss and now Sunak.

You would be hard pushed to find another lot of such scoundrels of any political colour.

Twas ever thus.
All politicians think the population are stupid, and they are pretty well all lacking in any real care towards any of us. The higher up the greasy pole they climb, the more contemptuous of us they become.
Don’t trust any of them, whatever their political allegiance. They are in it for themselves and themselves alone. Do not think they care about you, the poor, the disabled, the pensioners, the sick, or anyone else. They care about power.

Yes, I’m cynical. I wonder why?
