Rory Stewart Heads For Westminster
If the Tories were conservatives, or if Labour were in that small-c sense which dominated them before the Seventies student Trots took over, then they would be saying that British forces existed to defend British people, territory and interests, not to make the world anew by force in order to fit some academic blueprint. And certainly not to die for the sake of a far-away election that was rigged anyway. Pull out. Now. Rory Stewart, speak for the nation. But don't be the only one.
Rory Stewart?????
