The perils of a Neo-Con Conservative Government for Britain

From the First Post

A David Cameron government would be brimming with neo conservatives and totalitarian policies.

"Fearing that in a head-to-head contest between popular former Chancellor Kenneth Clarke and right-winger David Davis, the more charismatic - and anti-war - Clarke would win, the neocon faction within the party started to champion the cause of a young, relatively little known MP for Witney, promoting him as the man who would 'modernise' the party and lead it back to power. The strategy worked a treat, and the little known MP - David Cameron - pulled off a surprise victory.

Cameron's campaign was masterminded by a triumvirate of MPs: Michael Gove, Ed Vaizey and George Osborne."

plus

" As for Osborne, Cameron's Shadow Chancellor and right-hand man; he praised the "excellent neoconservative case" for war against Iraq.

There are other strong neocon influences on Cameron. Policy Exchange, which has been described as the Tory leader's 'favourite think-tank', and which will have an open door to Number 10, was set up in 2002 by Michael Gove and fellow hawk Nicholas Boles, a member of the Notting Hill set who the Tories plan to parachute into the safe seat of Grantham and Stamford at the next election. Dean Godson, the group's research director and adviser on security issues, has been described as "one of the best connected neoconservatives in Britain"."

So you disaffected voters? Still want a Conservative government? It could be worse than Gorgon Browns.

Now that's a scary thought!

Gordon Brown misses the Joke at PMQs

The Senior Whitehall person is himself.....

What does it show? That the Conservatives are poking fun like schoolchildren...

Do you really want them in Power?

The Coroners and Justice Bill

Or why the Conservatives are not fit to rule the country either if Labour are defeated at the polls in the General Election


Thanks to Lynne Featherstone my MP and my soon to be rival at the polls, I have gleaned the following information about the Coroners and Justice Bill. She wrote to me and thanked me for bringing it to her attention.

The majority of MPs voted against the motion to condemn the Coroners and Justice Bill.

The motion, which was rejected, said:[1]

* This House declines to give a Second Reading to the Coroners and Justice Bill
* because it provides for inquests in private and without a jury, at the behest of the Secretary of State and on grounds that are overbroad;[2]
* because it unduly restricts what coroners and inquest juries may say about a death; because it proposes reforms to the law of murder that are ill-thought through and incomplete;
* because it fails to deal with legitimate criticisms of the legislation on anonymous witnesses, and in particular because it fails to make adequate provision for the use of special counsel;
* because the system of sentencing guidelines it proposes fails to incorporate adequately the aim of reducing re-offending;
* because it will allow unlimited data sharing to occur between any organisations or persons for the purposes of supporting unspecified government policies, regardless of the safeguards contained in other legislation; and
* because, to the extent that other measures proposed in the Bill are welcome and not merely symbolic, those measures should have been brought forward in separate Bills to allow them to be scrutinised more carefully.

No Conservative MP voted on this motion.

Party	Majority (No)	Minority (Aye)	Both	Turnout
Con	0	0	0	0.0%
Ind	2	2	0	66.7%
Lab	276 (+2 tell)	2	0	80.0%
LDem	0	41 (+2 tell)	0	68.3%
PC	0	2	0	66.7%
Total:	278	47	0	53.5%

What does this say about the Conservatives? They abstained from the issue. They are lily livered loons and should not be in power, The electorate has been misled by David Camerons sweet talking but when the actual acts of the party are taken into account this is a gaping omission on his part and on his party the Conservatives who are by abstaining letting the matter go unchallenged.

Of note all the LibDems in the House voted to condemn the motion and only 2 Labour MPs

The full report of how the vote went is here in the public whip


This is frankly sickening The Conservatives and Labour MPs who abstained or voted against the motion to condemn the bill should be thrown out of office.

It is completely sickening.
