Any more than percentage honesty is usually impossible in defence and trade matters to state the very obvious. Since WW2 Britain's declining military power combined with military procurement and staffing policies more about maintaining employment, training the unqualified and maintaining the officer class. Than actual effective military conventional and tactical nuclear capability means UK military and naval success has largely been achieved by bluff and outright deception.

The current British political system of Parliament is from an ancient era when truth and honour mattered. If we are living in a 'post truth era', then the entire Parliamentary system needs to be drastically reformed.

Middle-aged Adam (I'm 44) is a long way to the right of young Adam. I'm a card carrying Lib Dem who often lends his vote to Labour. 14 year old Adam would be horrified. However the idea that the Conservative party has moved so far to the right that I hear mention of Michael Heseltine and think warm thoughts is amazing. These current Tories are nuts.

@lorrainedavidson7229 Год назад

You lib dem and Labour are not democratic! You do not respect democratic E.U. referendum result!!!

Interesting post Adam. I’m 47 and Scottish but my journey has been shorter. From a young left to current left of centre, or social democrat type in modern European terms. I think it was Corbyn’s first GE manifesto (which wasn’t unlike a previous SNP one) which was basically progressive Social Democrat. But we have veered so far right in last 40 years it was castigated as being hard left. Nonsense. I heard someone say earlier that Thatcher would be classed as a Liberal Democrat these days! 😂

With Max on most of it but Rishi as a truth-teller Vs Boris is like comparing whether you'd prefer to be eaten by a shark or a crocodile.

Conservatives will once again be putting Party before the country (Cameron and that fateful decision).

He said Richie was a "truth teller"??? He hasn't been watching PMQs then.

@janetmalcolm6441 Год назад

@jahazbrooga309....people pick up bits of things....then miss out other bits...believe all they hear! You have to see it for yourself. A lot if porkies are told on tv. Janet Street Porter said more money than ever been put into the NHS on Loose Women. Twice the graph on a political programme has shown not to be the case in over 13 years...yet they peddle that lie continuously on tv....has she not seen that? Prime Ministers Questions come up with many untruths....Sunak included..... No wonder voters get confused.

All politicians are liars, that is a top skill of a politician, along with the ability of talking a lot without saying anything.

@NealyLL Год назад

Utter nonsense !!! That opinion actually helps the likes of Johnson and his kind .

@Gohka Год назад

@@NealyLL Exactly what I was thinking. Like isn't thinking that way exactly why so many politicians get away with these ever-increasing levels of corruption?

@poshgentleman559 Год назад

Yes, they make lovely rabble rousing speeches, twisting words and meanings in the hope of confusing the public. The end result is: not a lot is actually done to solve issue's. The migrant crisis is a prime example: £7 million a day to house seemingly anyone who turns up in the channel......then we are told there is a black hole in the nations finances.
