But there are many striving and burgeoning economies across the world that want a share of our cake. The pain of Tory incompetence is ...
Rivers of Blood: Enoch Powell Swamped: Margaret Thatcher Hostile environment: Theresa May Invasion: Suella Braverman. The Tories never let the facts get in the way of what they hope will be a vote-wining slogan. They truly are the "nasty party", despite vicar's daughter, Theresa May's waning earlier this century. Sadly she didn't put her "faith into action" as the mission statement over our Salvation Army shop pithily advertises.. Regarding M/s Braverman's inflammatory description, a Madeleine Sumption director of the Oxford migration Observatory points out , "This is not an invasion - it's not an army.. But if instead she is ...
