    Maybe you forget Stroller that those who voted for the war did so on the information given in the house by Blair. Which was all bollox. He mislead the House and the country. However what will always grind with me is sending our boys off to war I’ll-equipped and then got his minister Geoff Hoon to lie About it. Blair has a lot of blood on his hands.

    Remarkable then that Corbyn and dozens of other Labour MPs were able to see through Blair on Iraq, but the Tories couldn't.

    Nothing to say on your current government's incompetence and corruption, then?

    Without reading your post the answer is either “Brexit” or “it winds up the left so it’s worth it”.

    Trouble is that in-fighting is costing everyone as May followed by Boris cock-up continually. When the extremes are in the ascendency everyone suffers...

    Much better to be lied to by the likes of Blair and Major than let any extremes get in.
    They all lie, they are all corrupt, they all look after themselves.

    Corbyn seemed pretty open and incorruptible which arguably was his undoing. Lots of reasons people might not wish to vote for him still but I refuse to believe they’re all corrupt. Just seems like a way for people to justify to themselves voting for the worst people.

    Or not voting at all ?
    As you quite rightly say, Corbyn seemed open and incorruptible.....and though I didn’t agree with all his views and beliefs, he was someone I pinned my hopes on as being a new way in politics.....and the fact that those now in charge did everything though could to get rid of him...leaves me no hope.
    **** them all

    When they see this, all the Scots will love him.

    PS Is that Dominic Cummings around Boris's neck?

    Problem is to succeed in politics you have to be devious, duplicitous and very lucky, it's the nature of the game. The current lot fit the bill...

    Shame Corbyn couldn’t see the Jewish problem in his party... or could he? But what do we expect from a bloke who called terrorists ‘brothers’?

    Still nothing to say about your government then? How do you think it's been going?

    Can any Tory on here defend this shower?

    In what way?
    Are you blaming them for this pandemic?
    Stroller I have said before (on Many occasions) that a few bods on here with their entrenched views won’t make a difference. :)
    Do you really believe that people will turn away from Boris and vote for that wooden top Starmer? Keep dreaming fella... you never know it might be a hung parliament one day? <laugh>

    To be fair to Ellers, he hasn’t given a straight answer on this board in the last 3 years at least so he ain’t gonna start now

    It's a waste of time isn't it? Ellers really is a strange case.

    Perhaps one of the other Tories on here can make case for the defence.

    I gave up trying to get a straight answer from him on anything months ago.....my frustration was turning into anger.
    It’s not worth even trying anymore....you’ll learn Strolls.

    Sadly it not about giving straight answers, it’s more about bothering to argue with people so entrenched in their own political beliefs.
    Same old same old.:)
