More Tory shit, part two.

Yesterday I was distracted by domestic tasks and other odds and ends so didn't get round to looking at the second of the Tory rubbish dropped on my doormat by our local councillor on one of his few and far between visits to the ward that he is supposed to be representing.

Here's the "Election special":

Yes, we have a personal message from Peter Metcalfe, concentrating mainly on the EU issue and suggesting that we ditch Europe and try in some way to re-establish the commonwealth, nothing like looking to the future is there? Maybe we could look into reinstating the Raj and going back to days of Empire rule as well? (insert ironic smiley). Funny that we haven't had any official statements attributed to Vicky Parkin yet, can we even be sure that she is capable of independent thought or even constructing a sentence and writing it down?

We have the same 3 supposedly "good" reasons looked at yesterday, and a "Dear Resident" statement that claims that they are "always accessible to the residents (that they ) serve", like f*ck they are, an hour standing at a crappy farmers market surrounded my middle classed affluent folk who can afford to shop there most of whom are probably from Hove actually anyway, is not being accessible, answering the phone and responding to emails and letters is, but they usually don't bother with that.

They also claim that they "tried to knock on every door in the Southlands ward", bullshit did they, I watched out of my window and they didn't attempt to do anything of the kind around here, they just dropped of their leaflets and ran, I assume this is because a council estate is not likely to provide them with the unflinching praise that seems to fuel the local Tories and they may have to speak to people who are being affected by their governments vile policies which directly target the people living here, strangely there is not one mention of their "bedroom tax" in any of their propaganda.

On the other side we are told of the evils of UKIP, and some more lies about how they plan to save Southlands Hospital despite being complicit in the plan to dispose of the site.

They also suggest that we need to "keep bringing immigration down", considering that there is only a 2% immigrant population in the area, any further reduction of this figure could be seen by some to be attempting to ensure a White British Adur free from the slightest hint of multiculturalism and acceptance of the positive influences of cultural migration. They claim that racism and discrimination is unacceptable, but feel that 2% is far too many "Johnny Foreigners" to be residing in Adur.

It's interesting to note the aggression directed towards the UKIP candidate, bearing in mind that he was a Tory councillor for many years and yet they turn on him after more than a decade of loyalty to them as a councillor. He is even godfather to the Parkin's daughter and yet they still overtly attack his credibility in their literature, with friends like these, who needs enemas? There is also the question of whether what they are saying is even remotely true, I have attended many council meetings and I can only recall one where he was absent, and the County records published show that he attended 35 out of 39 meetings, which is higher than most of their councillors.

Obviously I would not recommend voting UKIP, but if the Parkin family believe that the candidate is suitable to be a spiritual guardian to their progeny but not fit for public office, it clearly says something about how low they'll stoop to attain power and money, or maybe it's just a damning indictment of where, in the grand scheme of things, they position their morals, religious beliefs and children.

Remember to vote tomorrow, but be careful, because putting a cross in the blue box will result in four more years of oppression and the end to any local services being provided locally, including our hospital.
