It really should come as no surprise that the quality of our MPs is predominantly rubbish when the electorate, as represented in some of the above posts, can do no better than parrot such glib, unsubstantiated nonsense . Typically, the 'cut-and-pastes' don't even carry attribution ... (I wonder why?) Original thought, a little research into FACTS - nah, can't be arsed with all that poncy stuff - 's wot it says in the Mirror/ Sun/Torygraph, innit? It is no surprise that the likes of Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Francois et al can be elected into positions of influence when all they need is to appeal to this sort of unthinking 'opinion'! Possibly more worrying is the quote from a retiring CONSERVATIVE MP (a military historian, no less!) assessing his latest Leader - "The one thing you can rely on with Boris is that he will always let you down "(my emphasis).
Well isn't that nice? ... just unfortunate that, like so many of the Tory Party 'Faithful', he couldn't manage to air his viewpoint while relying on his colleagues to support him in his sinecure! SUCH nice people!
