#IsoBritannia ssa parhaillaan tilanne, että #konservatiivit joukoista on taas väläytelty, että #UK irtaantuisi #EuroopanIhmisoikeusopimus. Ihan, että saisi lähettää #siirtolaiset #Ruanda an.
Tänään sentäs ministeri #JohnGlen on toppuutellut näitä haluja.

Eka kertahan tämä ei ole, että #Toryt tätä väläyttelevät. Näin teki jo mm. #DavidCameron aikanaan:

This triggered a joint investigation by two #selectcommittee s - which in turn found parts of the transcript turned into a musical called "Committee" which I can remember seeing in the Donmar Warehouse in the West End of #london . Only time I know of such proceedings being re enacted albeit in edited form!

148 followers · 2961 posts · Server union.placeThe #conservatives have had a fraught relationship with #charities since the 1980s - even #davidcameron 's embrace of the "Big Society" much later was as much about getting leverage over them as supporting them - but the present lot have drifted to roughly the same anti civil society model as various illiberal democracies - which I need not name!
A really long distance from the "little platoons" valued by #edmundburke !

Interesting how #RoryStewart is throwing #DavidCameron under the bus in his #GreshamCollege lecture about #populism, accusing him of having been stuck in the Old World and being unable to adapt, while totally being blind to his own role in the #Tory party.

He did provide a lot of targeted support to parliamentary candidates and is credited by some with most if not all of the thirty seats gained by them in the 2005 General Election. He fell out spectacularly with #davidcameron later on.

In loosely analogous circumstances there is no indication that #davidcameron ever thought it necessary to discuss any details of the #pig'shead with which he was alleged to have acted inappropriately while a #student at #oxford!
