It gets incrementally worse with each election. The whole of Westminster are responsible for fermenting the nastiness we are seeing. UK politics has become a sickness which needs curing via surgical intervention.
Tillson - although I disagree with you about Brexit, I am with you all the way on this. I don't think that I have felt so disillusioned since the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979. Oddly, I think I have just 'got' what Jeremy Corbyn is about. Here we have someone who generally turns the other cheek to personal insults, does not insult or name call other politicians & aims to redress the balance regarding those less well off by asking (making) those who can afford it to make a bigger contribution to social & healthcare. All in my view a very sensible policy. Added to this, you've got someone who states that he would not push the nuclear button (which suggests a level of sanity) & is forgiving of those that err from the path (Diane Abbott). Oh...and on top of this he seems genuinely relaxed in the company of children & has the inititials "JC".
Interesting, then that he is vilified by the popular press & it seems is now being proposed by Kelvin McKenzie for the modern equivalent of crucifiction.
The last comment aside, which I would have liked to have frivolous but isn't...It says something about our society that someone who seems to genuinely wants a better society is attacked in the personal way that he is.
My last comment is that I have yet to see any real questioning about TM's safe and stable leadership- the flipside of which is rigid and inflexible.
Maybe as OldTom says...it is time for a revolution.
