Collateral Damage


Well, local election day is upon us - it doesn't much affect us, as our seat is uncontested and Plaid Cymru is a shoo-in - but I note from the front-page headline in today's i that Tories involved in this election are asking to be judged on their own merits and for voters to cast their votes on that basis rather than make judgement on Boris Johnson's ludicrous premiership.

While I agree that local politics is about individuals and that they should be judged on their performance for their electors, I feel that, at the moment, the Tory Party is so rotten to its core that any vote has to be a reflection on the Government's woeful performance, both in governance itself, and in the manner of that governance. Unfortunately, as always, the foot-soldiers will be the first to fall, but if that's the only way to pull this corrupt edifice down, so be it.

  1. Expected kicking delivered to the Tories who tried to pretend that B.O.Ris and Partygate (PE lists FIFTEEN Parties @ No 10!!!) was NOT an issue! Damien Green said, on Quetion Time, that we are in a worldwide economic maelstrom and the Tories were "dealing" with that!! Liars liars liars.
    The only solace that I can see is that the Greens picked up roughly the same councils as Lafur; so hope for Planet B then!:(
