Michael Portillo has some 'interesting' garments don't he…

I agree Ernie.

I despise TB and his cronies just as much as I despise the previous lot.

I voted for him too, even though we all knew he’d sell us down the river as soon as he could.
Still ashamed to admit that.

He voted on the age of consent.

He voted on Gay/lesbians in the armed services.

Whether its good or bad – who knows. You can be straight and have an opinion on both too. Does that make you homophobic if you don’t appease?

In which direction did he vote on the issue of the age of consent?

In which direction did he vote on the issue of homosexuals in the military?

What does your last sentence mean?

Am I too late to say that I really REALLY hate that **** Blair?

Wow, I’m very impressed with Ernie’s contribution to this thread, and I rarely agree with him even about what day it is.

Out of curiosity, was Portillo’s dad an immigrant or a refugee?

I think you can be both (and I think he was both).

Portillo’s dad was a great poet.

As transport minister Portillo stopped the Settle to Carlisle railway from being closed. The guy’s a hero while still be a bit of a twit, a nice one though.

Rusty, I see you been reading to much George Galloway. Your vitriol against the Tories is really the the deep upset you carry because Labour and who you thought was the left has betrayed you.

I despised the Tories way before 1997.
🙂

You’re spot on about Labour, though.
I think the scale of the betrayal hasn’t really sunk in, even yet.
😐

I’m straight. Should I vote only in the direction of straight matters v gay? you know you can look at a bigger picture/dont also have to a view that doesn’t conflict with your personal life.

You struggle sometimes don’t you konabunny, constantly looking to argue. It fogs your mind.
