Don't believe everything you read in newspapers


For the last couple of years, people have been saying that the Conservative party are increasingly taking up policies which are more usually associated with Labour, but now they seem to be behaving like the old Soviet Union from 50 years ago.

Grant Shapps has had Boris airbrushed out of a group photo taken on a visit to the little space centre down in Newquay, Cornwall. It is even more retro-Iron-Curtain because they are standing next to a rocket!

Grant Shapps has had the photo removed from whichever site it was put up, saying he knew nothing about it. If that is true then you wonder who is running his PR office and why he knows so little about his own affairs, let alone what good this might have done his career. Did I say good?

  3. Nothing astonishes me. Either from the politicians or the news media, but I think Grant Shapps is stupid anyway.

    1. I have looked for the elbow, and found it! Wasn't even a good job!

  7. Why would any intelligent person do that, or allow it to be done?
    Let alone a politician in whom we trust to do the best thing on our behalf. It says so much about the pillocks that are running the country.

    1. They have squandered about 300 years of good will and trust.
