1: The torys had to accept a senior advisers resignation today,Lord somebody one of Thatchers mob, he was guilty of telling how they still think.:lol:

2: The torys paid £25000 of public money to a professional tutor to teach them how to avoid embarrassing questions, could the answers be " we inherited the worst deficit" or "listen we inherited the worst deficit" ?. :roll:

Nah not that jester, it was that old pal of thatcher, Lord Young, ex advisor to Cameron I now note.

Was this the guy who stood up and said that some people are actually better off due to the recession? Im not sure of the exact wording he used, and appologies if i missed something, but was any of what he said actually wrong?

I beleive his point was that many of those who have mortgages and whos jobs were not affected by the recession are now better off due to decreased interest rates caused by the recession.

I know that many people lost and are still losing their jobs due to the recession, and that those people will be angered by his comments. But at the end of the day, although what he said may have caused a bit of un uproar, i think it was ultimately true was it not?

BTW, I'm definately not a Tory [lol]

Well if it wasn't wrong why did Cameron push him to resign ??.

Not wrong, just ill advised given the general feeling of the mob being whipped up by socialist extremists.

Not at all...just not singing from the same hymn sheet as Cameron & Clegg![disgust]

But Cameron and Clegg are singing from exactly the same hymm sheet as Milliband et all would be. :confused

Because Cameron knew very well that his comments would upset all those voters who have been negativley affected by the recession, and doing nothing could easily put the tories out of favour with all of that demographic.
On the other hand, all of those NOT negativley affected, and indeed those positivley affected, are unlikely to be swayed but such a move, or even particularly bothered about the mans opinion on the matter.

And one political party leader or another not liking what one individual says most certainly does not make it incorrect.

I see they've been at it again :roll: I do hope an officer of the law helps them all down the stairs on the way to the cells.
