Cameron’s double bluff on pensioner benefits.

Back in April of this year, David Cameron made an empassioned speech accusing Labour of lying about his position on benefits for pensioners, particularly the Winter Fuel Allowance, free television liscenses, pension credit and the free bus pass – he also pledged his full support for the policies! We will keep the free television licence, [...]

If I had £550 million of government expenditure…

…you can bet your life that I would not be using it to promote my personal idea of idyllic family life in some sort of bizarre throwback to the 1950s. But then again, I am not a Tory. Enough derision was poured on Cameron for promoting gimmicky crap such as this. I, as a committed [...]

Tory MP raises the expenses bar to stratospheric proportions

Just when we thought it was all over – the duck islands, the moat-cleaning, the gardening, the £400 for fixing a briefcase and second homes, the expenses issue rears itself again. David Wilshire, otherwise known as that nasty piece of work who first tabled Section 28 into the Local Government Act of 1988 has been [...]

While we’re on apologies…

At the Conservative Party conference, a 15 year old girl stood up and asked Gordon Brown for an apology. An apology for the debt he has left her generation in. Well, I’d rather like an apology for an entire generation of children that I was in that were left behind by the previous Tory government. [...]

Tories: Tough on Duncan, not Hannan.

So, after developing his political career at the Boris Johnson school of self-promotion (with passes in ill-informed ranting and appearing on Have I Got News For You), Alan Duncan has decided to leave his Cabinet position and take voluntary (?) demotion. Seen as there’s no comment from Duncan, and vague “he made a terrible mistake [...]

Tory hypocrisy knows no bounds.

After slamming the Labour Government for courting and appointing Sir Alan Sugar as business tsar, the Tories have turned their attention to Jeremy Clarkson as as possible transport adviser. Such an appointment is hardly compatible with the “Vote Blue Go Green” agenda is it? Clarkson himself has accused the Tories of double standards over courting [...]

I would like to congratulate twelve Tory headbangers on their timing.

It can be said that only a particular type of Tory could do the following: 1) Attempt to undermine a piece of legislation that transformed the lives of the working class.2) Justify this by suggesting that not being able to work for less than a set minimum is a violation of employees Human Rights!3) Make [...]

UPDATE: Save the minimum wage

Wage Concern reports that at 9:30am, as I was typing out an anti-Thatcherite rant, the Employment Oppertunities Bill was withdrawn and postponed by it’s original founder, Christopher Chope MP. This is obviously a fantastic victory for the left. We worked 100 years to get Minimum Wage on the statute book, and thus we are not [...]

'Moral capitalism' – the Tory solution.

It would appear that the Conservative Party leader, David Cameron now has an idea for the crisis. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr. Cameron has announced to business leaders and financiers a commitment to “moral capitalism”. I almost fell off my chair when I read this for the first time. However, I [...]
