Tories and Racism

The Commons Committee on Standards has attempted to clean up the disgusting image of MPs. They have proposed that racism and misogyny are unacceptable and vicious personal attacks on other ‘honourable members’ should be toned down. 

Oh dear, Conservative MPs have protested that this is an attack on their freedom of speech and democracy itself. The right to vote for racists is central to their ideology and misogyny is in their DNA. 

Leading the charge of the right brigade is Sir Desmond Swayne. He has said it is ‘dangerous and should not appear in the final version.’

If you thought the Tories could not sink any lower, oh yes they can.
