Don't tell the stupid focker but they can also become Prime Ministers.
Even successful ones (in their terms anyway) - the exception being the robot we're suffering from now.

EXCEPT, of course, in America; which is learning the axiom in the worst possible way.

What did we do to have these thee pollocks inflicted on us?

Philip Hammond is supposed to be amongst the more reasonable and progressive members of his party, which says volumes about the rest of them; it is one of the reasons that he will never become Prime Minister.

(In the great left-right split in both countries, the Conservatives in the UK are the equivalent of the Democrats, and the Labour Party is supposed to be closer to Bernie Sanders but because of Tony Blair mainly ended up a pale shadow of the Conservatives, and Jeremy Corbyn is therefore detested by most of the current lot because he is a man of the left.
The Republicans are off the scale anywhere outsde America & will be ignored in this post.)
