In today’s TCW, four of our writers react to the latest bout of Parliamentary sleaze stories.
NEIL Parish, Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton, was caught watching some blue stuff on his phone in the House of Commons and has resigned. Given the level of media coverage, it is undoubtedly another Crime of the Century and makes a cracking yarn for our tiresome media.
Parish – undoubtedly a prat – is a white, middle-aged male, so no more discussion or proof is needed. He is guilty by virtue of his identity.
Conservative in name only, Parish’s party has reacted with predictably moronic, woke fervour. Oliver Dowden, chairman of the Conservative Party, met the news with the stunning/brave/bold announcement that, at the next election, half of the party’s candidates will be women.
Having got one person closer to that goal recently with the revelation of the Tory party’s first male-to-female transgender MP, any stale males worried about being booted out to make way for a woman will just have to announce that, after many years of inner turmoil and struggle, they are transitioning.
Transitioning into a woman, of course. No Conservative Members of Parliament – prospective or otherwise – will be expected to transition into an, er, conservative or anything so ghastly. The party, so committed dancing the toxic dance of the reality-bending left, could never countenance such a thing.
For the Conservative party, the consideration is not who would make the best MP, but what. The idea that the individual best suited for the position is the one who should get it is far too reactionary and conservative for the ‘Conservative’ party. Much better that we gauge the calibre of our elected officials by the equipment they sport in their underpants.
Today’s Conservative Party: obsessed with green madness, full believers in tax-and-spend, advocates of micro-managing the lives of the citizenry, fully committed to the eradication of basic biological fact, utterly unable to control our borders, and now dying to get people elected purely on the basis of their ‘gender identity’.
Nothing will ever get better with these charlatans in charge.
