I'm not sure Home Secretaries all start out that way. Some seem almost human (eg Blunkett) before they get to the post.

Blunkett is and always was a slimeball. He's a self-confessed adulterer and fraudster and a borderline fascist. I never understood why he wasn't sent to prison for his misdeeds. You get these people on the left and the right - convinced of their own righteousness while simultaneously shovelling money down their trousers.

I'm too old and tired but I do hope the younger generation wise up sometime and kick them all out. Greta Thunberg gives me a bit of hope at least.
