Theresa May to tell Tories it's time for  infighting to cease

This Conservative Party Conference 2017 will be memorable, (but only for a few short weeks), for being the most boring and repetitive Conservative Conference since records began.
What should be a catalogue of policy options and visions for the future, has become and promises to remain for the much heralded Theresa May keynote speech scheduled for later today (Wednesday) the last day of the conference. This conference has consisted of no more than 20% "policy" proposals and 80% unashamed attack on the Labour party generally and on Jeremy Corbyn in particular.

A procession of Ministers, Priti Patel, David Davis, David Gauke, Philip Hammond, Boris Johnson and others have wasted their own and the British public's time with speeches woefully low on their record and proposals for the future, but tediously long on how bad the Labour Party is and how they, led by Corbyn (who Johnson would like to "blast into space") will turn this country into another Venezuela or Cuba, and other preposterous remarks which impressed nobody except the inane audience which actually managed to find the comments amusing.

In order to maintain at least a semblance of balance, representatives from the Constituency Associations and other organisations were called to speak, but in keeping with the example set by the MP's continued with the theme of spending most of their allocated time in attacking Jeremy Corbyn with personal abuse and smear. No doubt today's speeches, culminating with the contribution from Theresa May, will continue this assault and will presumably be met with the obligatory standing ovation, though God only knows why.
A number of television commentators have remarked how boring this conference has been and how policy has been abandoned for attacks on Labour. This point of view has been repeated in the press and no doubt in pubs, clubs and other places around the United Kingdom where people discuss these things.
Fear of the Labour party has overwhelmed the conservatives and it is glaring obvious from the performance at their conference.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
