Tory Tantrums and What Lies beneath.

There have been two recent events that have proved to be vivid depictions of what Tories really think about people who they consider to be beneath them in the social order.

The recent libel case between former Chief Whip, Andrew Mitchell, and The Sun and Metropolitan Police, which was adjudicated by the judge as being in favour of the latter, showed the obvious contempt Mitchell has for people he would consider beneath him. It also rips away the flimsy facade the Tories try to put up, that they are a pluralistic party working for the benefit of all. When in fact the judgement reinforces, what intelligent people have always known, that the Tories consider the masses to be nothing more than poorly paid tools to be used and abused to facilitate the Tories own personal wealth plans.

It is a universal truth that people show their true feelings when they lose their temper and unconscious and conscious prejudices will quickly surface. This was the case with Mitchell when he called police officers ‘ F***ing plebs’ and then went on to tell them ‘that they should know their place’.

It is important to explain the context of this Tory tantrum. Mitchell was demanding to be allowed through the main gates of Downing Street, with, what looks like his wife’s bicycle, but was refused and told to use the pedestrian gate. Ignoring the pathetic affectation Mitchell apparently has, of riding a woman’s bicycle with wicker basket and concentrating on the key point, any sane person would consider the level of arrogance shown by Mitchell, as he berated people doing the job of protecting him and his ilk, as abhorrent and distasteful, especially as his hissy fit was performed a few days after two female police officers had been gunned down in Leeds, doing their job.

Mitchell has a track record when it comes to foul mouthed tirades and temper tantrums towards people just trying to do their jobs. He once referred to one of his protection officers as 'plod'. A truly repulsive attitude shown towards someone whose job it was to stand between the disgusting Mitchell and a bullet.This obnoxious rant is yet another one to add to a litany of abuse perpetrated by the repulsive Mitchell. But this time his hubris proved to be his undoing.

The second Tory tantrum involves former Tory cabinet minister, Queens’s counsel, radio presenter and award winning broadcaster, David Mellor. I list Mellor’s supposed achievements because, when he got into an argument with a taxi driver about the route that was being taken, and after he had called the taxi driver ‘a sweaty little sh+T’ and told him to ‘get an education before arguing with me’ he felt the need to recite his curriculum vitae in an extreme version of ‘do you know who I am’. The fact he felt the need to reel of his CV seems to suggest that Mellor may be suffering from very low self esteem. What it did seem to demonstrate was a very unpleasant attitude Mellor has towards anyone he doesn't consider his equal.

And that sums up the Tories. They have no respect for anyone other than their small little clique of friends. For everyone else they have nothing but hate and contempt. They yearn for the good old days of deference, when the rich man was in his manor house and the poor man was at the gate, and are actively trying to recreate those days.

 

Mitchells and Mellor’s actions were disgusting, unacceptable and stank of snobbery and condescension whilst exposing an inbred patrician and patronising attitude, all too prevalent within Tory ranks.

They consider ordinary people to be ‘plebs’ and poorly educated ‘sweaty little sh+t’s’ that are unworthy of respect.

For anybody who has access to the BBC’s Iplayer, you should check out Prime Minister Questions on 26/11/2012. It is hilarious. Keep your eyes on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. It looks like he is either tripping on LSD, three sheets to the wind................. or worst?

Keeping the British Taxpayers Money in the Family.

Tory MP Nadine Dorries paid her daughter Phillipa between £44,000 and £49,999 in wages and her other daughter Jennifer between £30,000 and £34,999 in wages.

Tory MP Peter Bone paid his wife between £45,000 and £49,000 in wages.

Tory MP Christopher Chope paid his wife between £45,000 and £49,000 in wages.

Tory Transport Minister Steven Hammond paid his wife up to £45,000.

Tory Justice Secretary Chris Grayling paid his wife between £35,000 and £39,999.

Tory Transport Secretary Patrick Mcloughlin paid his wife between £35,000 and £39,999.

Tory MP Laurence Robertson paid his estranged wife between £25,000 and £29,999 and his current partner between £40,000 and £44,999.

Labour MP Andrew Miller employed both his wife and his cousin whilst Labour MP Meg Munn employed her husband and her sister-in-law. 

All were paid with taxpayers money.

Isn't it marvellous how, apparently, the best person for the job, coincidentally, happens to be married or related to the MP. What are the chances of that!
