Right Back When

Things come back to haunt people.

Did a bit of drugs in the Sixties, then became a pillar of society, perhaps even a Cabinet Minister? But what if one of your old crowd turned up dead of it?

Had a bit of underage sex in the Seventies, then became a pillar of society, perhaps even a Cabinet Minister? But what if one of your old crowd turned up in court for hundreds of offences, or just for still doing it after all these years?

Hung around the neo-Nazi element of youthful Thatcherism in the Eighties, then became a pillar of society, perhaps even a Cabinet Minister? But what if one of your old crowd murdered an MP this year while shouting, "Britain First!"? 

People do foolish things in their youth, or else they enter middle age heavily medicated cripples while watching their more adventurous contemporaries as the pictures of health.

But not many have ever ended up in government when one of their old mates has murdered a Member of Parliament.

The days of treating even support for the NHS as Loony Leftism, while maintaining no right flank whatever on the officially designated political mainstream, are well and truly over.

The dominoes are going to start to fall, and some highly prominent people in what thinks that it is now this country’s perpetual party of government need to be very, very, very afraid.
