leave aside the well worn phrase that nobody has ever heard of- she's sayin developers will win so we might as well enjoy it. |In tory terms that means profit by.

Capitulation to market forces aided by healthy self interest.

In that case, her metaphor is totally appropriate.

This could also go in the Gove thread, but it's far more insidious.

“We find instances of eco-activism being given a free rein within schools and at the events schools encourage their pupils to attend,” the report claims.

Gove “read the report with concern”, according to a spokesperson for the education secretary.

“Schools should not teach that a particular political or ideological point of view is right – indeed it is against the law for them to do so,” the spokesperson added.

Unlike most of the content found in the Daily Mail, it’s actually worth taking a closer look at this piece, if for no other reason than to understand just how loopy some on the right have become over the issue of man made climate change.

What exactly is it that the GWPF- and by extension Micheal Gove – are objecting to here?

The Global Warming Policy Foundation was launched by Lord Lawson...

Who is now Mr Zero Credibility...

Its from a report by the GWPF written by the lying thundercunt, Andrew Montford. Montfords schtick is lots of gossipy insinuation "see they said this as a joke in perosnal emails therefore they cannot be trusted to analyse actual data". He has very limited data skills but aligns with the so called 'lukewarmer' movement: "there will be a small amount of warming but the scientists are all corrupt".

Conservative Nick Martin, 63, was found guilty of breaching the members' code of conduct after Labour complained about comments he made last year.

Labour councillors said they heard him say: "Are we still letting Mongols have sex with each other?"

The standards committee ruled he must apologise but Mr Martin said it was a word he "was brought up with".

In a letter to the council, Mr Martin said it was "with regret" that he submitted his resignation as mayor "with immediate effect".

Telling that the guy seemed to think the problem was with the word he used, not what he was saying. The Tories seem to have tons of these sort in local government, even with a fair few of them shuffling over to UKIP.

The leader of Barnet's Labour group claims a Tory councillor is “not fit for office” after it was revealed he made derogatory comments about “benefit claiming scum”, lesbians, black people and disabled people on Facebook....

What on earth was he thinking?

[Dogsauce]

The guy looks younger than Owen Jones and those comments were made about 5 or 6 years ago when he must have been about 14. Kind of harsh to pull people up for prickish stuff they say when they're kids, all those amateur Clarksons puffing out their chests and trying to be a bit risky amongst their peers.

Aside from that what the hell is wrong with people that they end up wanting to be Tory Councillors at that age anyway? What failure of society/education is producing these youthful pricks in their job-interview-at-Dixons suits?

The MP for Rochdale, Simon Danchuk has made similar comments about claimants

Sorry, no sympathy. If those statements attributed to him are genuine, and he wasn't 14, he's a cunt.

Priceless stuff here

David Cameron says he is evangelical about his Christian faith

David Cameron has declared himself an "evangelical" about his Christian faith as he criticised some non-believers for failing to grasp the role that religion can have in "helping people to have a moral code".

but it also turns out that he has previously said:

his faith is "a bit like the reception for Magic FM in the Chilterns: it sort of comes and goes".

omg I am skim reading it and have just come across:

"Jesus invented the big society 2,000 years ago".

Is this his way of trying to win back the christians who think his welfare reforms are, shall we say, únchristian'?

Because the only other explanation is that he is insane. How the hell can he think what he's doing is compassionate?

Has he lost the Christian vote then?

Has he lost the Christian vote then?

The Graun seems to think so, from the article:

It comes after several big clashes between the coalition and the church, including a letter this week from 40 Anglican bishops and 600 church leaders calling on all political parties to tackle the causes of food poverty. Previous tensions have been caused by Cameron's decision to introduce gay marriage, and deep cuts in welfare benefits.

Cameron's Easter message may be aimed at smoothing over relations as well as an attempt to woo Christians back from Ukip, after Nigel Farage said British politics needed a "more muscular defence of our Judaeo-Christian heritage".

Whether there is any truth in this is of course another matter.

 

[butchersapron]

None i think - christians in this country aren't organised in any voting block and if they were they would only be dikuting any electoral infouenc they have due to the costituencey and FPTP system - and christians don't vote for or against things on the basis that policies are or aren't unchristian as no one christians would vote at all if that were the case. The only strategic thinking i can see is an attempt to win some black voters given they're aware they are hopelessly behind in this part of the electorate - but this shit won't impact on that. And i do hope they're misreading the UKIP vote in that way, they'd be going straight up a dead end.

 

[ferrelhadley]

Perhaps his reception of Magic FM has been boosted or he got digital. This sudden road to Damascus remembering that he is a life long Christian will come across as cynical to many\most Christians. I am struggling to see how this will not come across as an abuse of ones faith for political purposes, almost the worst thing he could do to practising Christians. Perhaps many new immigrants with a deep rooted evangelical faith who have not been here for the long wars between the churches, chapels and kirks over issues as diverse as poverty, greed through gay marriage and liberalisation of film censorship may be impressed by him 'testifying the word', it is a major part of that shade of faith. But that is not really a voter group that is going to turn an election.

Actually Blair looked like someone who had to be shut up about his faith rather than prodded to suddenly remember he had one when the European elections were coming around. So he actually manages to look a bigger dick than Blair on this.

He is a tory. Those kind of remarks are bread and butter to his supporters.

...and now they propose flogging off our tax data...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/apr/18/hmrc-to-sell-taxpayers-data

The personal financial data of millions of taxpayers could be sold to private firms under laws being drawn up by HM Revenue & Customs in a move branded "dangerous" by tax professionals and "borderline insane" by a senior Conservative MP.

Just when you thought they couldn't top the 'care.data' cluster-fuck...

Another tranche of (former) tory voters shuffle off to UKIP...Nige will be pissing himself over this.
