Not only the Tory government though is it? The Liberals took a bit of beating and Labours done it’s share.
But they're not in power now and abusing it, spending our taxes. That's the point.
Thorpe and Major were both in power at the time. They're not spending my taxes.
Was Thorpe ever a Cabinet minister spending public money? I've found fault with every government of my adult life. I wish more folk were less blinkered than some seem to be.
Indeed so, but this one excels at pleasing their mates and donors by giving them jobs and multi £million / billion contracts. The courts have found they've already broken the law over 70 times, yet folk are still voting Tory
The fact that we can name politicians of every shade who have behaved less than honourably - or downright corruptly - in the past, doesn't have a bearing on the present situation, because it's now apparently acceptable to lie and cheat, in the knowledge that you won't be sacked or be forced to resign... In the past, there were moral standards which you were expected to adhere to, and if you were found out in a misdemeanour you couldn't just shrug it off.
A strong opposition might help to keep the government on its toes...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I'm curmudgeonly about the constant ads to buy McAfee anti-virus which pause whatever I'm doing on the laptop. It was pre-installed but I've never liked it so installed free Avast instead on the advice of a professional web designer. Anybody know how difficult it would be to uninstall McAfee to get rid of the ads please? I've got Adblock on here as well, but it doesn't stop McAfee. I've just read his obituary, what a nasty crazy bloke, makes me even more determined to get rid of.
Lizzie27, what device are you using, is it a Windows 10 laptop/desktop? If so just go to your start menu and type " Program" and it will show up "add and remove programs" click that and scroll to Mcafee and select uninstall .

I love the Tory response. Hopeless Hancock followed the "normal process" when he appointed her. Give a tax payer funded job to your friend, then have an affair with them is clearly "normal" with this shower of clowns and cheats and liars.( or Tories as they're called )
I recall then home secretary Blunkett got caught out with a three year affair with an aide which came out in the August of 2004. By the December it came out with another alleged affair with a secretary in his department 20 years his junior (age not relevant in itself but relevant in terms of increasing the degree of imbalance in power highlighted as a problem by the metoo movement). The particular details of that second allegation was that the husband of the other party got a nice promotion to placate him.
As you will recall 2004 was right in the middle of the Bliar years? Spin, lies and jobs for your cronies just as present then. At least Boris didn't say something as stupid as the hand of history on our shoulders. At least Boris's stupid sayings are completely ridiculous and part of that bumbling style. Blair was being serious probably using a focus group tested soundbite that failed when it was actually used!!!
My point is things like this have happened right through the history of modern politics and further. Once they treated it as a private matter now it's ragtop headlines.
