Post by: Nearly Sane on March 06, 2025, 05:35:51 PM

Badenoch,  had a Labour peer said this, would not be happy with an apology being accepted but then she drips hypocrisy.

Unfortunately, this farce obscures an important question which is why should the taxpayers have to fund this memorial? It seems like, in a period where we apparently have to cut welfare (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1lpjqg2mp5o), we don't have the money for this.

I think the more important issue is the leader of the opposition being a lying hypocrite.

No. She's an irrelevance at the moment.
