J'accuse! Hypocrisy

J'accuse! Hypocrisy

Post by Devil »

I accuse some hundred-odd Tory politicians of blatant hypocrisy. One night they vote effectively against Mrs May's policies. The next night, they vote for them. Why? Simply because they were scared stiff of losing their seat if there were a General Election, and their magnificent salary plus expenses. I cannot believe that they all had a change of heart in exactly 24 hours. They were simply being politicians looking after their own interests, as per usual.

In the words of Emil Zola, when France was in crisis over the Dreyfus affair, j'accuse many of the Conservative MPs of blatant hypocrisy. I add the Democratic Unionist Party, as well, to the list.

Funny, I thought the vote last night was about keeping the Labour Party & Jeremy Corbyn out of power!

I agree with what they did and surely it was obvious what would happen - keep Corbyn and Labour out of power. Corbyn comes across as a nasty piece of work - could almost see the spittle when he went into a tirade after the decision on Tuesday night.

Corbyn quite prepared to sit with terrorists but not with a british prime minister,all he is interested in is getting elected and forming a Marxist government.

No different than Gove last night....

I agree with Devil - one minute the Tories are having a go at their glorious leader in a vote of No Confidence then the next they're all up her arse, looking after their own skin. Hmmmm

I haven't seen if there have been any shenanigans today - we've been on hospital appointments that never came to fruition :-(
