Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Aha, so <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BenWallace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BenWallace</span></a> n the man who thought <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> should be &#39;grateful&#39; has now decided that he&#39;s had enough of being Defence Secretary &amp; is quitting Parliament, along with load of other <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Tory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Tory</span></a> MPs.</p><p>No doubt he has been approached by <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amazon</span></a> to run their new arms division?</p>
Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Aha, the arrogance of the islander... </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BenWallace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BenWallace</span></a> thinks the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> should be more grateful for the drip-drip-drip of arms that its getting....</p><p>Maybe, he should live in a country invaded by a powerful neighbour &amp; see how grateful he is for the pious words &amp; slow supply of arms from those claiming to fully support their defence.</p><p>So few in the UK appreciate what its like having land-borders (much more easily breached) shared with an aggressive enemy.... we seem to forget our natural moat!</p>
Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Any remaining notion that <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BenWallace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BenWallace</span></a> represented the &#39;sensible&#39; wing (or perhaps sliver) of the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Tory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Tory</span></a> party will have been swept away by his remark yesterday that the Govt. was being held &#39;to ransom&#39; by <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/strikers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>strikers</span></a>... this is all a bit rich from a Govt. that has held us all ransom to enrich their chums &amp; funders... [mind you, the claim he was a &#39;sensible Tory&#39; never survived contact with his actual voting record!]<br /><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SupportTheStrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SupportTheStrikes</span></a></p>
