A triumph for democracy and common sense

Why did the Tories win the 2019 General Election? There are two reasons for this, the first one being democracy. We the people democratically decided to leave the EU, and MPs tried to override our decision. They just would not accept the decision of the referendum, so the people had to destroy the destroyers of democracy.

The second reason was Jeremy Corbyn. This man’s love of the IRA and Hamas, coupled with his far-Left doctrine, was the greatest asset of the Tories.

On top of this was his history of wanting to leave the EU, then his wanting to remain in the EU, and then his inability to pick which way he wanted to jump.

The silent majority have roared and the roar will be heard right across the globe. Democracy has won and it is great to be British again. Mick Ferrie,

A priority for this new Government must be social care. Earlier this year, social services cut the hours of care I receive for my spinal problems, despite my conditions being chronic, irreversible and prone to further deterioration. The candidates made a lot of promises but who will actually do anything?

Jeremy Corbyn has announced he will not fight another General Election as leader of the Labour Party. With Emily Thornberry, Diane Abbott and John McDonnell waiting in the wings, surely the Conservatives must be singing Things Can Only Get Better.

In his article last week, David Starkey said that Jeremy Corbyn hasn’t changed his mind for 50 years. Nor his clothes, by the look of him. Amanda Yates,

Certain lessons take a lifetime to learn. There are some which seem particularly pertinent in an age where the younger generation takes pleasure in demonstrating about anything and everything. Just because you believe in something does not automatically make it true, and just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean they are wrong. Alan Sharpe, Melton Mowbray

Spare a thought for Peter Hitchens, who for years has been telling us about the ‘useless Tories’ and that the Conservative Party is dead. That so-called useless and dead party has now gone on to win another General Election.

The people of Scotland voted overwhelmingly for SNP candidates at the Election and it therefore follows that they are in favour of independence because that featured predominantly in the party’s manifesto. I am all for the Scots leaving, provided that the rest of the UK is not expected to fund their new arrangements. Oh, and it’s British oil, not Scottish oil. John Collins,
