John Major warns on the peace process

John Major. Failed PM who destroyed the Thatcher Legacy and paved the way for everything bad about the Blair-Brown government that followed.

He should stick to watching cricket and keeping his trap shut.

Silence the enemies of the folk! Crush the saboteurs!

John Major. Failed PM who destroyed the Thatcher Legacy and paved the way for everything bad about the Blair-Brown government that followed.

John Major defied the opinion polls and won a General Election with a majority. Which makes him far more successful than the the other two mid-term replacement PMs of late.

True.

Imagine coming out openly as gay ? The fact that many would rather have Ruth Davidson as leader of the Tory party days a lot about the Tories and the public.

Imagine openly admitting your affairs and the public going "so what"? Boris is still in contention for the leadership of the Tory party.

Silence the enemies of the folk! Crush the saboteurs!

The true heir of Thatcher is Nigel Farage.

[WTFH]

The true heir of Thatcher is Nigel Farage.

Maybe, but you missed out a generation in between.

Thatcher - Bliar - Farage.

Nope. The DUP will return with a few more quid for NI coffers. Stormont will get up-and-running and they'll go back to bickering.

A fair summing up in my eyes:
