Tories not being able to kill folk.

::::::::

I wish the Conservatives had been in power at the time when we went to war in Iraq. WHAT? You heard me. Relax, I still wear garlic when the Conservatives call at the door. It's still '68 in my heart.

Consider this. When we went to war in '03, many Labour Party Members of Parliament voted for the war despite having reservations. The alternative would have been that the Government would have fallen and the Labour MPs felt this was unacceptable after the Thatcher years.

The Conservatives of course in opposition voted for the war because it has been years since we have killed a satisfying number of foreigners and they were worried that we would lose the knack, unless we practice regularlly.

Honourably, the Liberals voted against the War although they quickly supported the Government 's position, once the killing started. "Right, I 've made my point, now for some realism etc.etc. "

But what if the Conservatives had been in power? Surely it would have the traditional lunatic charge at the enemy stark bollock naked.

I'M STILL CONFUSED AS TO HOW YOU COULD SUPPORT THE CONSERVATIVES. Well it 's like this. If the Conservatives had been in power, it would have only been with a narrow majority, with any luck. The Conservatives would have some rebels in Parliament who would not support their own party.They always have some strange characters that are unpredictable.

Some would not want to follow the US anywhere, but would be happy to lead the fight themselves. Others would be drunk, as the voting is in the afternoon. Some may be ill, as they are a party of rather older men with no healthy vegans. Part 2 'The 2nd part'
