It's an extremely biased opinion, and I make no apologies.

I think every single living member of every Tory cabinet present and past should be strung up in Parliament Square. I'm not in any sense unclear about my views on them.

We have had twelve years of disastrous Tory austerity that has comprehensively destroyed the UK's economy. What's the plan? Let them keep trying until they get something right? How long is it supposed to take for their austerity policies to work, to get the economy back to a sensible state?

View on HN

This viewpoint is both evil (literally wanting to kill people... like the "best" politicians of the 20th century! /s) and delusional (UK had approximately 0 GDP growth since 2010, like other main European countries - so I doubt it was Brexit or Tories)

So I should be tolerant of the people that have killed a couple of million people and destroyed the country?

At what point is it okay to no longer be tolerant of them?

How many people did the government led by Tony Blair kill, by the way? Or do we only care about British lives?

Being anti-Tory does not imply you're pro-Blair. I'd happily send Tony Blair to the Hague to answer for his crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You seem to conveniently forget that Tories in parliament won him that vote. All the usual Tory rags (the Sun, Dailies Mail and Express and the Times) were all extremely hawkish, as we’re the leading Tories.

Tony Blair needs a brief visit to The Hague followed by an even shorter visit to a firing squad.

Gordon Brown selling off our gold reserves wasn't the smartest move. But as you mention, the UK hasn't seen growth in our GDP since 2010. Which Party has been in power since May of 2010?

@dang, here's a member calling for the execution of members of a political party.

No - he’s expressing an opinion; “I think…”.

Let’s pretend he meant “strung up and tickled”.

This is the unintentionally-funniest comment I've seen on here for a while. Thank you.
