The internal fury over the Conservative Party's teaming with the anti-gay anti-anything "different" view to make their "new blood" in the European Parliament recently is a bit odd. (nearly as odd as their new partners themselves.)
I really do despair.
On one hand we have UKIP, barely to the left of the BNP, partnering with the anti-immigrant Northern League of Italy; the Tories meanwhile are partnered with the Polish "Law and Justice Party" who are not too friendly towards gays and suchlike.
And they still have that name problem, you tell me what it means?
The 'European "Conservatives" and "Reformists" Group'???
Sounds like the George Osbourne approach to the banking sector in his proposed "financial regulation" changes; change things around so that no change actually happens.
What do the papers say about it? Well, I looked all over the British "left-wing" "gay" "communist" media for a story to back up what I'm saying..
But we'll have to do with a story from the Torygraph:
Here's another about them getting on like a house on fire (wink):
Tory MEP Edward McMillan-Scott expelled after poll rebellion
"A senior Tory MEP was expelled from the party on Tuesday night after winning election to the post of European Parliament vice-president against the Conservatives' official candidate."
And it kicks off even more: (kicks off in a handbags kind of way anyway...)
Interesting times...
