Cogitatively Castrated Conservatives

Louise Mensch and her three  conservative party MP colleagues on the Parliamentary Media Committee has really done for the Tory Party as far as a thinking properly functioning organisation is concerned. A commentator to the Conservative Home web site discussion on the farce of the Murdoch report said it far better than I am able last evening as follows:

Nigel Rathbone

So the Murdochs, a toxic family who have debased our press and poisoned our politics for over 40 years, have been finally exposed publicly as liars and manipulators, unfit to run a company. They have had their placemen in both main political parties, they have trashed the reputations of innocent victims of crime, invaded the privacy of thousands of individuals, and have now been clearly shown to be breaking the law of this country. So much is clear.

And what do we learn from Louise Mensch? That the Tories support the Murdochs and think they
are proper people to run a company, but the Lib Dems and Labour disagree.

I'm sure Labour and the Lib Dems will be happy to be on the side of the vast majority of right-thinking people in this country. The mystery is why on earth some of the more intelligent and decent folk on the Tory side have been prepared to cede this ground to their political opponents

Perhaps the answer for Mr Rathbone will only arrive, when he, like so many other former supporters of the older Conservative Party, concludes that the more intelligent and decent folk have long since given up on the party - few such may now be found within their ranks and certainly none in the parliamentary party, that is why no votes should be given to any supporting that party tomorrow, even if the office being sought seems a million miles from Westminster, the tentacles and lack of principle of Cameron and Osborne permeates throughout the entire party - stands to reason really! Same goes for Labour, after all Ed Balls remains at its heart, would one look for a decent Nazi while Hitler was in charge?
