The New Tories - Ruthlessly Incompetent. Post Examples of Tory Stupidity Here

Deborah McGurran Political editor, East of England, on that "has been" Ruffley MP, really, did he do a good work?

Mr Ruffley will no doubt be devastated about leaving politics. He has always enjoyed doing the job and his grasp of what might happen next in the political sphere was often spot on.

He loved it so much that he tried to commit suicide over his expenses claims. Anyway I attempted to contact David Ruffley a number of times requesting "one to one" meetings about NHS and he never responded. I suspect he was more interested in his expenses and milking the public purse.
 
What is Cameron wittering on about?

Speaking to workers at a water company on Wednesday, the prime minister said many people "who don't see themselves as fundamentally wealthy" were paying the rate, which applies when people earn more than £41,865 a year. Stressing that he could not make any promises, Cameron said he understood the problem with the rate applying when people "are not earning a lot of money".

Since when was £40K not a lot of money? Most people would be very pleased to be earning £40K. If he wants to help those on £40K+ he can start by increasing basic allowances. They'll help the poor even more than the high earners.
 
I'm kinda assuming the cunt is a tory, but truth be told I couldn't bother finding anywhere else to put this heart-warming tale...

A City high-flyer who is thought to be Britain’s biggest fare dodger after avoiding paying £43,000 in train tickets on his daily commute has finally been unmasked.

Investment executive Jonathan Burrows, 44, had hoped to keep his name out of the public eye and avoid prosecution by quickly reimbursing Southeastern trains the full amount in unpaid tickets, accrued over five years, within three days of being caught.

Remember the story about him? Well...

The news also came to the attention of City watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority, with which Mr Burrows was registered.
The FCA started its own investigation over concerns that his actions showed a lack of probity that could make him unsuitable for City work. But last week, Mr Burrows warned his bosses, who knew nothing of his fare-dodging, that they might be receiving a call from the regulator. He was suspended from his job as a managing director, and he then resigned after refusing to go into any more detail about the fare-dodging. His resignation meant that the FCA investigation was brought to an end, but it means he is unlikely to be able to work in finance again.

Suppose he can spend more time with his millions now?

Dunno if this is already mentioned, but David Cameron leaving his budget briefcase unattended on a train, and forgetting his kids when leaving the pub.
I know we all make mistakes but he his our country's leader.
 
Slightly OT , but Cameron appearing in Eastborne with a cheque for 2 million for the pier(which some say is insured) is Eastborne a marginal or a UKIP target?
 
Can I be cynical and ask if the cheque is from the insurance company (great PR coup for them) or an advance against the insurance and to be repaid from the insurance?

Eastbourne is the latter, AFAIK. The Graun's been chuntering about the amount of money the government's ostentatiously throwing at seaside towns such as Eastbourne, many of which are either UKIP targets or Lib Dem/Tory marginals. Certainly, it's noticeable that such places swallowed up a lot of the funding for projects in coastal areas announced last week. They did chuck a bit Hull's way, though, which is perhaps surprising since they don't have a cat in hell's chance here!
 
Cameron seems to have woken up to the tories unpopularity with ethnin minority voters and the damage this will do to their election prospects and has decided to do something about it:

Martin de Vine, founder and Squire of the Foxs Morris dancers, said: "It's not racist and offence is never taken. People from other cultural backgrounds don't see it as that at all. We have had an Arab person dancing with us in the past - it's not seen as racist."

You have got to be kidding.

Let's get the BBC to show some re-runs of the black and white minstrel show, see how well that goes.
 
The main story of the front page of The Times today is headlined "NHS reforms our worst mistake, Tories admit", there are four pages of reports on the story inside and it's the first of a five-part series.

I know The Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch but they do some good investigative journalism (Jimmy Carr's tax avoidance, Rotherham and now this). It might be worth buying the paper or signing up to get through the paywall or paying a visit to a library.
 
Nadine Dorries, a former nurse(then private nursing business owner) was on T.Vv earlier describing Andrew Lansley as "brilliant" and that he should be head of the civil service.

Cameron's response to Miliband is interesting:

In response, the prime minister said he "did not need lectures from anybody about looking after disabled people" and urged the Labour leader not "to cast aspersions".

Using his dead kid to deflect questions about his party's misdeeds & competence. Someone linked to this on FB the other day - he has an ugly record for doing this.

Yes, and the default arrogance of the vermin.."...I don't need lectures.." and "...I don't want to hear any more on this..."

Arseholes.
 
Great to see the ultra right wing lunatics haven't wasted time.

"Commenting on Ed Miliband's attack on Lord Freud's comments about the disabled, Research Director of the Adam Smith Institute, Sam Bowman, said:

"Lord Freud has been shamefully mistreated by Ed Miliband. His point was that the market value of some people’s wages is below the minimum wage. This is often true of the severely disabled and can have appalling consequences for their self-esteem and quality of life. Fixing this problem was the justification for Remploy, a government-funded firm that gave jobs to disabled people who could not find work elsewhere.

"To point out that someone’s market value is less than minimum wage has nothing to do with their moral value as human beings. Freud’s point was that we should help people in this situation by allowing them to find jobs paying below the minimum wage and topping up their pay directly to make up the difference.

"Even if you don’t agree with this method, it is motivated by compassion for the disabled and an understanding of the unpleasant side-effects of our minimum wage laws. Freud’s only crime was to speak bluntly: it is disgraceful to use his words against him in the way Miliband has."
