I gave up on party politics decades ago

I'm a more recent convert... although only briefly. It's funny back in the 90s I immediately distrusted Blair as he had the exactly smile a local drug dealer had, the guy scammed loads of people in my friend group back in 1990/91. Blair comes along with THE EXACT smile lol. Honestly, probably the most real life high signal cues I've ever had in life! At least I only lost my hifi, which I'd lent him and then sold, other people I knew lost £1000s.

I only got involved in politics between 2017-19 which, on the plus side, is how I met my wife. Then I saw how my wife was treated by the party and I think they're the most abhorent group of scum going, I hold this true of most politicians, regardless of party affiliation, it's just different flavours of low life. Honestly there's a books worth of shenanigans on it and that's just at a local level.

An old school mate of mine was a former Northern Ireland Secretary. We were never close but he was OK. I watched him climb the ranks of the Tory party until the big C got him.

I emailed him to offer support and encouragement through his illness. His response was so party political. My point is that the system changes people. Whether it's blackmail or brainwashing, they all get in line
