Even die-hard Thatcherites shocked by current Tory government [Split topic]

BBC News running with how much The Lords have cost US TAXPAYERS in expenses (I wonder why they're having to turn up more often?) but added NO VALUE.

It seems even die-hard Thatcherites are shook about the authoritarian nature of Boris are shook, here's an article from the former head of Margaret Thatcher's policy unit:

They're only realising now that wealthy fucks with titles and frig all to do except attempt to block laws that might help the peasants are a bunch of parasites?

You should do like us. Ban titles and lick the boots of people who had the decency to exploit the poor themselves, instead of benefiting from their ancestors' exploitation of the poor.

What are the expelled former Tory MPs like Grieve up to? Are they going to start a new party, join the Lib Dems or just get involved in non political stuff? It does feel like Tories, even Tories who have been treated very badly by Johnson, don't like doing much to attack a Tory PM whatever Johnson does.

That first one is very similar to the stories about Trump, and people intentionally mentioning him frequently in documents so he keeps reading.

"lololol we're going to shove all the chlorinated chicken and ratshit-filled sausages into NI we want unless you give us what we want"

also this is most wise considering we just elected the political wing of the IRA to government and Mary Lou McDonald might be Taoiseach yet

she'd let there be a hard border on the island. any excuse to murder Brits and move for reunification.

Ferdinand Mount is one of those old tories who now makes a living writing stories for the left-wing press about how the government are always doing Toryism wrong. Like Simon Jenkins, Matthew d'Ancona, the late Ian Gilmour, etc.
