Has the Conservative Party lost all sense of competence

Remember we were talking about the way the Tory HO office is intent on taking away the local offices ability to select their candidate? What price democracy?

The s...t is beginning to hit the fan and the local ancients are beginning to revolt. Well, as far as they understand the word

This is interesting about TPP.
Australia don't want it either.

Is that Australia or some Australians?

I thought they were going ahead with it.

Not only Australia looking at it but US, Canada and others.

145,000 signatures already on the petition to sack Toby Young.

157,000 now. They want to get to 200,000. People are still signing up every 5 seconds. No wonder the Tories put this out over the Christmas break, hoping nobody would notice.
When you look at the petition and see what he called children with disabilities and state school undergraduates it's no wonder people want him out.

Here's another symbol of Tory incompetence.

All the dreadful Tweets have gone - by miracle - racist, mysoginist, discriminatory - gone ... like the wind.

Signed.

All the tweets might have gone jura but there are plenty of screenshots of them doing the rounds on twitter. There's also a site that keeps a record of tweets deleted by public figures. His are on it. I'll see if I can find the address for you.

It's hard to cover your tracks on the internet.

The petition is by Tom Pride of Pride's Purge, and all the horrible stuff that Toby Young has said is on that site, all linked to on the petition.

Nobody in a wheelchair in his free school, then.

An interesting article by Natalie Bennett about the cost of rail travel and how some commuters are being priced off the trains.

Is there anyone on Toby Young's side, apart from May and Jo Johnson?
Time for May to do a u-turn we will all respect.

Johnson of course because all his mysogist, homophobic etc tweets have been resurrected.

Forgot a “in”

I am no fan of Toby Young, and decry his latest appointment, although I notice that his First in Politics, Philosophy and Economics is ignored by his critics. He could claim to have been a successful student at least, having taken full advantage of a university education after woeful results at school.

It is a great shame that there is not the same level of outrage about the appointment of the ignorant, illiterate Angela Rayner: "Lots of people have wrote to me about this, " as Shadow Secretary for Education.

He only got into university because of his dad, though. He forgets that.
Personally, I prefer Angela Rayner's common sense outlook to Young's, even if her education is not as good as his.

Gove made lots of spelling mistakes when he was Secretary for Education. He still does.

Johnson archived tweets are now making the news showing that he has questionable views on gays and women.

He has been vociferous in his defence of Young.

Well he would wouldn’t he?
