Major vs Corbyn (01/03/18)



Former Conservative Prime Minister John Major delivered the kind of impassioned speech on Brexit yesterday which Jeremy Corbyn ought to have been making for the past two years,

Major 'spoke the truth to power' and 'spoke the truth to the people' (in his own words) as he attacked the Tory 'ultras' for their xenophobia, small-mindedness and selfish attitudes over Europe.

A Twitter post from Julie Owen Moylan summed up my own views very well with the following tweet:


  1. I watched John Major a man I never liked nor voted for, talking about Brexit and its impacts with such passion and anger and I am infuriated by the fact Corbyn should have been saying this stuff for the last 18 months.

The irony is that not only would Jeremy Corbyn be unable to speak in such passionate terms, he would have refused to appear on the same platform with John Major during the EU referendum - because he's a Conservative.

How utterly pathetic, if you ask me.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
