Re: A fairer Britain under the Tories?
Good to see that Damian Green has now departed. The more this Govt is damaged the better.

Indeed, re first point.
But re second point - No longer a good time to have the distraction of a damaged Gov't perhaps.
A non-party-political coalition would be a superb option now.
Not going to happen as we know. Besides, majority of entrenched, partisan Britons would likely rather shoot themselves in the collective foot than even consider it.
I fear that we are nowhere near as smart as the average brexiteer seems to somehow think we are.

I don’t trust any of the fools in high office. May, Fox, Davis, Johnson etc etc. Dreadful politicians.
There are a few decent Tories like Ken Clark and Sarah Woolaston. However they are outnumbered by the hard right morons like Rees-Mogg
The sooner they get kicked out the better.

I read some survey the other day that calculated the typical person meets/interacts with 80,000 different people during the course of their lifetime. It got me thinking, and I reached for a calculator... it would mean at a maximum you or I would meet/interact with just one in every 8,250 fellow Britons - the rest of the 66 million will forever remain strangers. I don't really blame those using tax havens to pay as little as possible to HM Treasury for them to redistribute to those they will never encounter.

Either your calculator is broken or you are more pissed than usual.

Bloody hell, Dai, we had assumed you'd snuffed it.
Yes, it's 1 in 825.
