The exact type of Tory they desperately need leading the party, but they’ve all been pushed out with the lunatics having taken over the asylum. Hague, Major - the good, sane ones

Reading this thread and JP’s contribution to where we are now and the brilliant last 14 years is just so massive. No beautiful stadium. No Premier League. No European tour. No Mitoma/Welbeck/Caicedo/Mac Allister (World Cup winner) et...
