It's comforting to know Conservatives are still obnoxious.
Social housing is newspeak for council housing crows a blogger. A council house tenant is to a Tory as a jew is to a nazi says the Daily Stirrer in this analysis that shows as Labour go into meltdown that we cannot believe the Conservatives claims that thy are now the cuddly, compassionate party.

Calorie Offsetting - The Fair Trade Way To Stay Slim
Everybody has heard of carbon offsetting, the super wheeze that will allow those of us in the civilised world to carry on as we are while the people of developing nations sell us their carbon allowances to keep body and soul together.

Hate Crime Law - Another Step Towards Fascism?
Those in politics who like to call themselves the progrssive left or progressive liberals love to talk about fairness and equality. Why themn are they so keen to introduce 'hate crime' laws that will grant privilege to certain groups in a system that depens on all being equal? Call us old fashioned but in our view there does not seem to be much justice in replacing one privileged elite with another.

Nothing Good Has Come Of The Internet.
When a technophobe denounces the internet as anti - social, anti jobs, a force for dumbing down or a waste of time it can easily be dismissed but when the CEO of a major technology company like Sony saays nothing good has ever come of the internet we should perhaps listen.

Rubber Baby Syndrome
If you thought the title would lead to a piece about sexual fetishes you are wrong – well wrongish. A programme on television last night dealt with a fad among women of a “certain age” (post menopausal insanity syndrome) for buying fake babies and acting as if they are not rubber but real real. These women, all well heeled and expensively if often somewhat...

Internet Access As A Human Right?
A survey carried out by the BBC found a majority of people around the world believe internet access should be a basic human right.

It's comforting to know Conservatives are still obnoxious.

Ian R Thorpe

April 24, 2009

Over at Tim Worstall's blog http://timworstall.com/2009/04/19/vince-cable-sorts-out-the-economy/ a while ago I noticed a post about Vince Cable's ideas to sort out the economic mess. Now some readers may have noticed I am quite an admirer of Vince and his real world approach to economics. Some have also commented that The Daily Stirrer, in its former disguise as Little Nicky Machiavelli does not often have a go at the Tories.

The Labour Party itself is mostly to blame for that. Being such an incompetent set of tossers they have been so focused on fucking up absolutely everything (one suspects a touch of OCD, some obsessively clean their house or wash their hands, some obsessively pull out their hair or hoard rubbish until their house is full, Labour politicians obsessively pursue failed ideologies and unrealistic goals to the point of self destruction. This has enabled the Conservatives to keep a very low profile and give bloggers little to snipe at while the Camergoons have presented themselves as the cuddly party.

So my comforting brush with old fashioned Tory obnoxiousness and economic illiteracy on a scale that made even Margaret Thatcher look almost intelligent came on a comment referring to Vince Cable's assertion that the first step towards getting things back on track was to build affordable housing and in the current climate that means social housing.

Tim rightly points out that Vince has also spoken of ways to stop house prices falling before too many people get into negative equity. Which may seem contradictory to a Tory because even the brighter ones like Tim himself and Iain Dale are never really going to be clever enough to get their heads round the complexities of domestic economics. But I'm not here to snipe at Tim Worstall, he's a good blogger and different points of view are needed to promote debate. No, the point that attracted my attention and proved the evil Tory bastards are ready to crawl out of the woodwork with their smug assurance of superiority that they get from living in a fully mortgaged Barratt box home, their envy, their petty hatred and their dreadful habit of over - pronouncing vowels which only proves they are not as posh as they think they are.

The first comment in the thread on Tim's post read:
In Newspeak "affordable housing" means "social housing" or to us oldies "council housing".

Council Housing, that old bogey, to a working class or lower middle class Thatcherite Tory a council house tenant is as a Jew is to a Nazi, the scapegoat, personally responsible for all the ills of society. Remember many a working class Tory grew up in a council house, the child of a perfectly respectable, hard working family but are now ashamed of it. Let us not forget that until the 1980s, until Margaret Thatcher's warped snobbery dictated housing policy and hit on the idea that if the council houses were sold off the working class could be eliminated more than half the population lived in rented houses and most of those were council tenants.

They were a vied bunch those council tenants, some were artistic, some love poetry and literature many were interested in politics and fully engaged with local democracy. There were of course the drunks, the wife beaters but there are such people at every level of society, there were the perpetually unemployed but they will always be with us and there were the people who for a variety of reasons just could not cope with life. There is an actor known for his "posh bloke roles who grew up in a council house and a leading opera singer.

It would, would it not, be better if instead of the superior sneering of that commenter and his "what us oldies call council housing" we could accept that it is not important what kind of house people live in nor whether it is mortgaged or rented. What matters is their attitudes, values, self respect and the way they treat others that makes people what they are. Because after all envy, jealousy and hypocrisy, the qualities that defined supporters of Margaret Thatcher are every bit as unattractive as laziness, selfishness and intemperance.

So yes I am comforted to know the nasty, small minded twunts that make up a lot of the conservative vote are still out there. The run up to the next election is going to be fun. The Liberal Democrats must be comforted too to know that with Labour in complete disarray the Conservatives are so worried about the Lib Dem threat.
