Tories Tear Into Each Other While Economy Founders.


As George Osborne continues to flatten the British economy in order to prove an ill-founded idea that the public sector "crowds out" private sector expansion, the Tory party continues to tear at its own flesh. Since coming to power the Tories have managed to increase unemployment to levels not seen since the last time they were in power and to shrink the economy to levels not experienced since the 1930's. They have played their favourite card, punishing the victims of their vile policies, while, at the same time, protecting and rewarding a financial sector that have proven to be little better than a criminal conspiracy. They have turned their backs on our largest trading partners in Europe, flogged off British assets to foreign powers while refusing to invest in the country themselves, literally stolen the NHS from its rightful owners in order to sell it to their rich mates and divided the country into the have and have-nots at a ferocious rate. To top it all, however, the latest batch of Tory con-men, freeloaders and swindlers to be voted into parliament have little love for each other, let alone the country they despise. Since 2010 Tory backbenchers have revolted in no less than 43% of parliamentary divisions - a record that has no parallel in British political history. The reason for this seems to be two-fold; a hatred for their LibDem Coalition partners and a deep-seated loathing for Europe and the EU. The Coalition came into existence, according to David Cameron and Nick Clegg, to serve the British national interest. If George Osborne's policy of destroying the economy doesn't prove the lie in this, then Tory backbencher's cavalier disregard for the Coalition certainly does. This is not a government, it is a Civil War and, as in any war, the undertakers are winning it.
