Ben Bradley's got form for making unpleasant reactionary posts. In 2012 he complained about a "vast sea of unemployed wasters" who he suggested should have vasectomies in order to stop them having multiple children. Then in the 2011 riots he said "For once, I think police brutality should be encouraged!" Also in 2011 he wrote on his blog "Public sector workers: they don't know they're born!" Ironically, w hilst working for the Conservative MP Mark Spencer, both Bradley and Spencer were criticised in 2017 by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for misusing taxpayers' resources, such as the MP's newsletter, to link to "overtly party-political content". Bradley was sent on a training course on how to appropriately use parliamentary resources. The list goes on and on ..... 14 minutes ago, Longcol said: "By their friends ye shall know them" - or why Tory MP's sit with openly fascist parties in the Council of Europe. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-tory-neo-nazi-anti-islam-hitler-conservative-party-b1254794.html I sincerely hope that the Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis will take to the airwaves and opine about the "moral compass of the country" like he did before the 2019 election when Jeremy Corbyn was leader of the Labour Party.

Charming man.... People need to know what the Tory party really think, instead of the carefully manicured version they spout in interviews etc. Strange there's never any public outcry about things like this concerning the Tory party, but then the public aren't bombarded day after day with it in the media, unlike Corbyn and co. who were misrepresented at every opportunity.

Litotes 63 #365 Posted October 24, 2020 Like I said before - he was elected as Oliver Hardy and is now like Oliver Cromwell. Right wing totalitarian, taking the food out of our childrens' mouths, while still stuffing their faces at the troughs. DO we know if his father has now successfully applied for a French passport? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-stanley-johnson-boris-french-passport-rachel-book-rakes-progress-a9416636.html Has Farage got his children German passports? https://skwawkbox.org/2019/04/23/farage-applied-for-german-passport-on-day-after-2016-referendum-and-did-not-deny-having-one/ Hypocrisy of the highest level from fascists who want to rule our country with no respect for the electorate. How many more will they kill through their right wing stance. After all, who are those that are dying? Boris got special preference when he was poorly - where was that treatment for the rest of the population? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Open a school or something similar so kids will get the food they need and deserve. I think the long term solution does lie in something like that. Proper holiday provision for the most vulnerable kids is a good idea. Right now though, we are reliant upon Premier League footballers and Ronald MacDonald to take the lead rather than the government.
