What I will say, is that the good ones I was referring to are all now ex Conservatives. Perhaps that tells you something [img alt=:b]http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/tongue.gif[/img]

Is there such a thing as a good ex Conservative, or some very good Tory Ministers recently?. VNA?
Well I remember standing outside the Home Office in Glasgow one cold night some 15 years ago. We were holding a vigil against dawn raids on ‘failed asylum seekers’ in the city. Umm somebody had wrapped some heavy-duty chains around the main gate. The Home Office had a habit of sending it’s ‘immigration enforcement officers’ out in the small hours to smash down the doors of families and detain them for deportation. The vans were ready to go, but well that night, and indeed night after night they were unable to go anywhere. Amongst the many standing on the street in protest were some interesting people, one was a Tory MP.
But what I think the point Mtread was making, is that many Tory MP’s can operate within the rules, and also carry out their work in a reasonable manner whilst respecting those that work with them and for them. It’s not too much to ask. Preti Patel, it appears is not one such person, not only does it appear that she is unable to behave reasonably with respect to those that work with her or for her, but she seems to think that she is exempted from the general rules of government.
