Derek Hatton was a socialist snake and Ken Clarke and Geoffrey Howe more liberal party naturals , there are always outliers
Not sure that's true, it certainly is not universally true. It's also a pretty dubious definition of morality, though i agree it's important to invest in social care and education. Absolute pricks span the political spectrum though.

Honestly I don’t know if that’s a Libertarian take or not.
It’s a take that that popped into my mind after smoking Soap Bar In Baneswell about 25 years ago, a few years before moving here.
I found it a paradox then how atheists, which invariably were “Leftish” looked at evolution as a fact (not saying we aren’t spawned from mudskippers) and everything then on being down to Natural Selection. Then the American Right, (which were invariably Christian leaning) would shit all over evolution but be full on capitalist in “let the weak ones die” regarding business and society.
Nothing much has changed apart from platforms allowing people to shout their certainty and those who are unsure or reticent to say what they feel.
