Re: We are all on the road to ruin, with no time to gloat over the Tory Party

Dear Polly,
 
I agree entirely with your assessment of the Conservative Party, except is respect to what you say about them NOT being a "waste of space to discuss" (On the road to total ruin, 12 September 2003).
 
I know this is how you and other political commentators make a living, but discussing what the Conservatives have to say is not only a waste of time, it is also a serious distraction from the task of creating a "sustainable" society (economy and lifestyles), before self-specicide (which is what is ACTUALLY happening on our imperilled planet) puts you and me, and everyone else, out of a job!
 
The Conservatives make everything Labour says or does seem far better than it actually is, which is not good.
 
They are a JOKE, but we do not have time to stand around laughing at them.
