Even that appalling Baroness Warsi has said Islamophobia is a problem with the Tories, but we don't hear much about this, do we!

And of course there would be, the racist cunts.

Tory remainer. It's a tough spot to be in....I resigned my membership of the party after the referendum result. Voted Lib Dem at every opportunity since, purely over Brexit.

The big problem the Tory party have been facing for the last decade isn't Brexit, or UKIP, it's been the Tory party membership.

You think their MPs are cunts, they are positive pinkos in comparison to the members.  99% white, 80% male, 40% over the age of 65... 120,000 total cunts.

Most of them voted Brexit Party in the euros.  The party is a hop and skip away from ceasing to exist, hence the lurch to the right.

One interesting tidbit  - the party itself is broke, and the local associations own all the assets like Conservative halls etc.  So he inmates are very much in charge of the asylum.

It's not debatable to say the least: countries who have adopted capitalism are more wealthy than those that haven't. I'll link you to graphs if you really want...

The problem with that statement is that almost every country in the world (excepted include North Korea, officially, and Cuba until recently) operates a mixed market economy that embraces capitalist economic theory to a greater or lesser extent alongside socialist, mutual & commons ownership and models, often blurred into one another. So suggesting that countries that have adopted capitalism are wealither than those that haven't is an effective non sequitur because such present day empirical evidence will be scant.

From my point of view, the implementation of some capitalist economic principles has definitely had notable benefits, but this has run alongside other economic and social reforms. It is impossible to ignore that many large scale social programmes in Western countries, be it universal or targeted, has also been instrumental in lifting millions out of poverty. Also this doesn't take into account what personal and communal freedoms that may exist in an economic environment - for example in the Victoria era if you were a wealthy businessman then you had quite a lot of social as well as economic freedom. But the wealthy businessman's wife? Socially and politically at least she had a lot less freedom even if she would never to be found wanting for anything material.

BTW considering the purpose of this thread, you can stand on having nominally right of centre economical and social views within the modern traditions of a local, regional or national area and yet bemoan at the way how the traditional right-wing and centre-right parties and groupings have drifted to the fringes of extremities to fundamentally change it's character to something that you no longer recognise, belong to or even respect. And on that basis, the Tories in 2019 are the best example of this. So yeah, fuck them. Disraeli, MacMillian & Heath would likely be spinning in their graves to see what the Conservative party has become.

Johnson saying that his hobby is "making model buses" is the move of a cunt. Calculated media manipulation disguised as a faux-quirky, striving-to-be-endearing personality trait.

If you Google "Boris Johnson Bus", the entire first page of results at least are now about this favourite hobby he'd never mentioned before. What do you think the results would have been if you searched for that a week ago, before this "hobby" came to light? 

Cunt.
