Excellent post.

Quite right.
Of course, we don't know how many Labour party voters may well do the same. The mistake (and I was watching Sky News earlier) is that the metrosexuals are dismissing those that are pro Brexit as being only on the right and irrelevant. The first shock will be the local elections.
Loyalty works both ways. The Conservative Party has ignored members outside swing seats as it thought they would have nowhere else to go. Now they have, and it is all Mrs May's fault.

I suspect the real problem is that if you can find a fully Brexit supporting list and I doubt there is one, why not vote Brexit Party? Having been a loyal Tory all my life, I find the incompetence displayed during the negotiations has sapped all energy to go through a list and then get out and campaign. I am not alone.

Tannock in London, whom I have met, is a Federast and not very pleasant. He said he would move to Ireland if we leave the EU. Bonne chance (or its Gaelic equivalent).

The Conservative Party has become ever more removed from its supporters by destroying the local associations, and village associations that supported them in turn. The party has become more "metrosexual" and divorced from those who historically have been its bedrock. Concentration on the few "swing" seats in elections assuming that every one else will still vote Conservative is a massive mistake and this in part has lead to the current state of affairs. I see nothing Conservative in the likes of Oliver Letwin for example, of absent minded document disposal fame. I wonder if leaving most Brexit negotiations to members of, or those influenced by, the "blob", that civil service/NGO/Arts/BBC left wing sinkhole, was not a genuine attempt to make things so difficult that no acceptable (to leave voters) deal could ever be reached.
I have been a Conservative agent and voted, except in Euro elections, for no other party ever. No longer. I shall join, canvass for and support financially as I can the Brexit Party.
I took part in the motor cycle rally in support of Soldier F yesterday, not because of his innocence or guilt, which will be much more difficult to be fairly arrived at given a lot of comment about his testimony, but because of the sheer monstrosity of allowing the pursuit of brave men to trump the pursuit of terrorists.
I note there was no mention of the rally on the BBC news. QED?

Almost exactly the same thing happened to my disabled brother. He was accused, falsely, of sexual misconduct and followed the same procedure ending with a five day trial in Crown Court eighteen months later. The jury in his trial took seven minutes to find him unanimously not guilty. However the damage was done and in my opinion the whole disgusting affair weakened his resistance to illness. He died three years ago. To say there is a sense of outrage at his treatment by the CPS and the Met is an understatement.

It is unfortunate that no reason is given for Russia's re-annexation of Crimea. The naive policy of the US and the EU to confront Russia in Ukraine led to Russia to act in defence of what it saw as its vital interests; and it understood that those interests were not vital to its opponents. It was clearly correct in its assessment.
Crimea was never Ukrainian other than it was administered by Ukraine from the 1950s.Turkey has a better claim as it was part of the Caliphate. Readers may recall the British and French fought the Russians there in the 1850s to prevent Russian expansionism as the Ottoman Empire collapsed. Prince Potemkin annexed it for Catherine the Great, and the Tatars felt aggrieved ever after which manifested itself in support for the Germans in WW2.
Whether the last Government or the present one in Ukraine is more corrupt than the other is moot but at least the old one and Kuchma before it, tried hard to keep the country together. With neo Fascists in the west with a Polish Austro Hungarian and Ukrainian heritage, Russians in the East and Crimea, Surzhyks everwhere except in the largely Russian large cities, Tatars in Crimea and a Cossack nation on the Dniepr, it wasn't easy. US foreign policy made it impossible, and we should leave Ukraine alone.

Or Anna Soubry.

Keep HMS Ocean by declaring it to the UN for humanitarian assistance where required. Like the Army when on UN Ops the crew could wear light blue berets and the cost could be paid from the aid budget. Keeps the ship, which could be recalled in time of crisis, and would be a 20,000 ton virtue signal.

Militant of the 80s is no different to Momentum of the 2010s. The youth vote courted by Corbyn at, say, Glasto with a now retracted promise on university loans ought to prove to intelligent youth that they are being used as "useful idiots" by a Labour party intent on practicing a confidence trick on the electorate.
There is no doubt the Conservative Party ran a dire campaign in the recent election and will not (I hope) repeat it, but the core message remains the same. Do you want a country driven toward destruction implementing an already discredited socialist agenda or a liberal free market one, which will increase economic growth taxation from which will enable the government to implement greater funding of policies?
As you may be too young to remember the economic disasters visited on this country by Wilson, Healey, Benn, Callaghan and more recently Brown, it rather beggars belief that the next Socialist government will be any different from its predecessors and deliver not Utopia but Stygian gloom.
