I find it extremely difficult to have respect or time for any individual who joins the Tory party.

It has no morals as it is essentially a vehicle to make the already wealthy wealthier at the expense of the poor and furthermore to wage war and murder around the world for mere pecuniary gain.

It has no principles as the billions thieved from the public purse during the Covid crisis pointed out starkly.

And it has no philosophy aside from that remarked upon by Kenneth Galbraith:

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."


In chosing to join such an organisation they TELL you what they are. Why should you doubt them? Why pretend there is something respectable in that chosen identity?
