Keith Vaz was a Conservative? I think not, Generally it's more of a Lib Dem thing

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I was too young to vote for Blair and I voted Lib Dem last time out.

I remember working one Boxing Day I'm guessing 10/12 years ago & of course we had the football playing on multiple screens showing multiple games.
A friend of mine who was watching the Sunderland match says to me out of the side of his mouth,
'You know who that was you served?' so I told him I didn't really take any notice.
It's David Mellor who was with (I'm guessing his sons & their Girlfriends) they were watching Chelsea v Fulham game.
At the time I think his partner was Lady Cobham who was over in the USA to promote English Tourism (that bit I happened to read in a newspaper)
Anyway 3 or 4 months later who should come back into the bar looking for the Chelsea game you guessed it Mellor
It was the 4th Round of the FA Cup & I think Chelsea were playing someone like Hull City so it wasn't being televised, anyway Mellor who isn't exactly an oil painting had with him a very attractive guessing mid 20s Brunette with him.
I'm kinda speculating here because I don't think he ever expected to see me again but he gave me a kind of 'Shush keep quiet please don't say anything look' & left me a $100.00 tip !!

Pro USA & Israel

Personally I think people should avoid trying to somehow show-off their own political leanings, at least within our current structure of governance, with some kind of moral justification.

I am convinced that what drives almost all politicians, and especially those who make any kind of senior officials, is a compulsion to power that most of us are incapable of understanding. That willingness to do ANYTHING to make it to the top should never be underestimated and I am convinced that every politician who achieves higher office, would be willing to murder to make that happen.

Might sound dramatic but think about the military actions these people sanction. None of them loses a single nights sleep over it. In fact, I suspect they do not see a 'successful' time in the highest of offices without actually being involved in a war or a conflict. It's actually a box most of them want to tick by way of some f***ed up goal achievement. Taking human life is nothing to these people so a bit of adultery is mere froth.

Maybe a few more of them start out as conviction based but the notion of power corrupting is a truism which is simply undeniable.

Essentially almost all British politicians who make any kind of Cabinet position are sociopaths. Have to be to make it that high up. Probably the same for almost every other field of human 'achievement' as well.

I confess that part of me envies them that drive whilst another gives daily thanks that it is not part of my make-up because it fascinates me. Along with scaring as well. Politicians are not your friends. They are not their to protect you or make life better for your kids.

Vote for them with that in mind but never, ever, try and pretend that somehow your tick in the box is for a 'better' kind of person. Its not. Merely just how the system works.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

I think it was our own learned Cucking who said something along the lines of ‘don’t vote for any of the b******s, it only encourages them’.

Both Boris and Hancock are not what you'd call 'lookers'. In fact wearing masks was an improvement, for them both.

Just makes me wonder at what women will do for (public) money

I disengage, I turn the page.
