SIR GUESTLING THORN

 It is disturbing that each day, particularly since Johnston came to power, that  another Conservative MP and/or minister is mired in sleaze and scandal. I have written about this many times and am sick of the the sound of my own voice.  I have never expected any MP to be squeaky clean, they operate in an environment that has more temptation than almost any other. They are approached by all sorts of pressure groups and private companies and individuals, all of whom have some angle or agenda to sell. The further up the greasy pole you climb the more tempting and sleazy it becomes. This is not to make any kind of excuse for their behaviour or for dipping their noses in the trough! So many of them have philosophies so alien,  that we fail to understand how they were ever elected in the first place?  Worse we fail to understand why they retain their positions, unless the pressure from the media and social platforms reaches such a crescendo that it cannot be ignored. Yet there are still ministers and MP’s who retain their position how ever much is reported about their misdemeanours, in many cases proven ones! It is a merry-go -round of get sacked and then make a comeback as it appears is now being reported regarding Liz Truss? Wendy and I sit here wondering how such a dishonoured woman could possibly do so and yet we know that it could happen. Look at the disgraced Johnston parading himself around the world like some great statesman,  under the illusion that he is still the PM! 

I hope the projected win for Labour is real, not because I am a great supporter of their party or believe they can turn things around and improve our misfortunes but simply because a heavy defeat for the Conservatives would be wonderful. This Conservative Party needs a long time in the wilderness and hopefully should never be elected again after the damage that have caused and continue to perpetuate. They have become desperate and knowing that they are unpopular (to say the least) are reckless with the legislation they are passing after all why should they care anymore, they never have!

Stay well
