ConDemNation



Farewell to Gordon Brown a decent man never seduced by the trappings of office. We now have the novel ConDemNation headed by a LibCon coalition of opportunism – time will tell how this will fare but at the next election the LibDems will cease to exist – people will never vote Liberal to get Conservative again. The struggle for a Decent Fairer Britain continues and the impetus for this will never come from those with a sense of entitlement born of inherited wealth or position or who live off the labour of others. Never will, never has. La Luta Continua!

Here, in a DC Blog exclusive, is the first exclusive picture of the New Lib Con Pact Cabinet featuring;



Stockbroker’s son David Cameron late of Eton and The Bullingdon Club, Oxford.

Joanna Lumley, Minister for Toothy Grins and skewering little men.

Nick Clegg, Banker’s son, former Young Conservative and aide to Sir. Leon Brittain as European Commissioner. His wife, Miriam González Durántez, is the daughter of a Spanish Senator and was an aide to Chris Patten in Brussels.

Labour MP Stephen Pound summed up the happy LibCon marriage of convenience best;

Lib Dems entering government with the Tories will be

"like vegetarians who've got jobs at McDonald's - they'll be chewed up and spat out."

Forgive us for the Tories!

The Tory Party: defending the rich and attacking the poor since 1678. Put please forgive us Irish for we are responsible for them – even the term Tory comes from the Gaelic word for a Highwayman or Robber!



The word derives from the Middle Irish word tóraiche; modern Irish tóraí: outlaw, robber, from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit", since outlaws were "pursued men". It was originally used to refer to an Irish outlaw and later applied to Confederates or Royalists in arms. The term was thus originally a term of abuse, "an Irish rebel", before being adopted as a political label in the same way as Whig.

Historically, the term Tory has been applied in various ways to supporters of the British monarchy. The term was applied particularly to the isolated bands of guerrillas resisting Cromwell's nine-month 1649–1650 campaign in Ireland, who were allied with Royalists through treaty with the Confederate Irish Parliament, signed at Kilkenny in January 1649.
