Entryists to the left of me, Hardliners to the right... [View all]

Remember when a Cameron ally called Tory activists “mad, swivel-eyed loons” who were forcing MPs to take hardline positions on Europe? Heh, they have successfully taken over the entirety of Tory party thought, since the success of the referendum, pushing little Englander, xenophobic, nasty closed-minded policies. It is working far better than I am sure they could ever have dreamed of.

Remember when Kinnock said "We know that power without principles is ruthless, sour, empty, vicious. We also know that principle without power is idle sterility", as he was purging labour of the militant left in the 1980’s. We all know that they are back with a bang and even as faced with the rout of the election they cling to power with the fierce determination that only true ‘believers' can even as their ideology has been soundly rejected by the electorate.

I predict a decade of hard left and hard right, before we find our way back into the middle ground…oh, goody...

Maybe the rest of the Union should cut off England? After all trying to reason with fundamentalists or cult members is exhausting and unproductive and right now the cult of the right, the cult of the left and the cult of Brexit dominates in England in a way that is not expressed to the same extent in the rest of the union!! Heh.
