  2. it’s even worse than the headline – they’re complaining that allowig a windfall tax is trashing their low-tax reputation. The lying, incompetence, petulance, idiocy, and corruption are totally fine; but taxation is somehow the greater evil here.

  3. Boris is the kind of leader right wing people have wanted in the UK for a very long time.

    A solid 30% of the population always rejected the increasing social liberalism.

    They want the browns sent home, the gays back in the closet, and the women back in the kitchen.

  4. They chose an amoral populist to lead the party so they are getting exactly what they ordered.

  5. The rot didn’t start with Johnson, it’s always been there. He’s just the one who got noticed for it the most.

    These scumbags are just upset that more people are finally seeing what the tories have always been.

  6. The Tories did that themselves, he just helped. He is the figurehead upon which I sincerely hope the Tory flames die.

  7. What is Tory identity? I’ve always seen it as being out for yourself at the expense of those less fortunate and those suffering, while blaming the public and opposition for thier failures. So, quite the opposite. They’re playing exactly to type.

  8. Talk is cheap, until more LoNC come in we won’t believe Tories aren’t just taking weak jabs to score points with the public.
