What's the Tory morning glory!

Let the slanging match begin! Just when the tory-lites thought they’d dealt a heavy blow to Labour by getting the might of murky Murdoch, his grubby little paper and the page 3 stunna to announce ‘Labour’s Lost It’, along came the Irish vote on the Lisbon Treaty – and more – to bite them on the bum!

This week sees the Tory’s annual conference in Manchester. And dodgy Dave’s invited two far right eurosceptic allies along. Michal Kaminski is the Polish rightwing leader of the Conservatives’ new caucus in the Euro parliament. It seems old Kammy has an anti-Semitic, neo-nazi past. Ally number two is Roberts Zile, (rhymes with vile) leader of Latvia’s right wing For Fatherland and Freedom Party. There’s a clue in the title. Und jah, every year zey don jackboots to celebrate ze Latvian Waffen SS with a march past of SS veterans. A fact confirmed by Ephraim Zuroff director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, which tracks down Nazi War criminals.

Maybe ‘Dave Mr Ordinary Nice Guy’ is not so fragrant after all. He expelled Edward McMillan Scott – veteran Yorkshire Tory MEP from the party for raising questions about his new best friends’ right wing extremism and antisemitism. And by courting their friendship, he’s earned the enmity of heavyweight euro figures – most notable Angela Merkel. Not a smart move! Oh and let’s not forget Dave’s schtum stance on his membership of the infamous Bullingdon Club – a misogynistic Oxford club of raucous rituals for yobbish toffs AND his denial that he’s worth £30m. Does that add up to a leader you’d trust to run the country? I think not! To Joe Public, it may seem that politicians are all the same on the surface, but look deeper into the company they keep and they’re clearly not.
