He was a good bloke, but the Tories were on suicide watch back then, and were a gnat's away from utter collapse and constantly looking for a quick fix leader (like Maggie)... not his fault. -

He has also done a proper job in his life, which is more than can be said of many in the HMG cabinet. He is a huge asset to the Tory shadow cabinet and has a huge part to play if the Tories can win the next election, which I doubt.

Was that the same PMQ's that happened in the real world?Originally posted by moorfield View PostAnother cracking performance at PMQs today.
He was dull, dull, dull. He has done a LOT better.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

I'm sorry, I could never have taken anyone seriously who claimed he used to drink 14 pints a day. Not cause that's bad (Which it probably is for a leader of the country) but because he was so clearly lying and ended up looking like a right fanny.
Dunno, nice guy on the front bench but something lacking as a leader I always though ...Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

His speech as a 4 year old at the party conference makes me want to vomit whenever I see it.
