Well, that was then and now is now and the mood of the ever-fickle electorate, media-gaslit and uninformed, is post-"Partygate" an unknown quantity in contrast to the known qualities of "shop-soiled and damaged goods" Johnson who has become a shambolic albatross around the necks of the Tories.

This scenario is the reality of political thinking 2022.
Children, yet a belief that Parties in government can actually represent our mandate to govern.
Trust, we are all working class.
Ok, we can distinguish how we all pick up a tea spoon, or a knife and fork,
However 21st century UK is a far different world from 1970 fiscally technically and economically.
