There are some very decent MPs within the Conservative ranks but blood letting over Brexit spilt like acid through the Party and they were sidelined or seen off altogether. The bloody minded arrogance of a tiny elite at the top of the 2/

@mrjamesob asks “what is it with the cow?” in Hinduism. It is confusing, I agree! Here’s a go at explaining: Reverence for the cow is symbolic. It is worshipped’ as a creature that serves humans but asks nothing of us. In villages it provides milk, ploughs fields, etc. It’s a 1/
