Kenneth Clarke

[Filo]

A member of the hated That her Govt, but I have to say the man has got principles and told BJ what he thinks of him tonight, bravo Ken

Clarke was always one of the sanest Tories. After all the mad right wing economic experiments of the 80s led us to the shambles of Black Wednesday, he became Chancellor and implemented textbook economic policy of reflation to get us going again. He set the scene for 15 years of decent, steady economic growth.

But under the f**king maniac Cummings, he's hoyed out the party.

It was pretty strong stuff from Mr Clarke. Basically said BJ is a lying kitson.

Ken Clarke has always been one of the few Tories I could respect.

Frequently the voice of reason and common sense.

[GazLaz]

My late father always said that he was the only Tory he would vote for.

Out of politics now but Portillo comes over as a decent bloke too..

People can still be decent people even if we disagree fundamentally on some issues..

[Bentley Bullet]

None of them come out with the bile and vulgarity and downright offensiveness that some posters on this forum have.

[IDM]

And just like the majority of MPs have done, the majority of readers of the forum will see through any BS..
