British Tories veer even further Left

This is simply not Conservative.  I know it is hard - too hard at present - for Conservatives to grasp facts so clearly understood in our past that their formal statement would have been considered entirely superfluous (amid such self-confidence that the odd display of generosity, as KM says, to Indian princes was quite affordable).  But such it is.  We are lost in modernity.  Have been, probably, since the day the fateful and unjust decision was taken in Washington to append the blame for Nazism to all Germans.  The natural promulgation of our ethnic rights were delegitimised in that same process.

For me if it does not have recognition of kind at its core, Conservatism is meaningless liberal pap with a bit of prosperity-worship thrown in.

The British National Party will be rubbing its hands in glee.
By all means pander to the minorities but don’t be surprised when the majority reject you and force you into a political desert. Look forward to interesting political times ahead.

I agree with both of you.  Cameron is clealry busily betraying every last remnant of Conservatism he can find.  It’s like trying to figure out who to vote for in a Mexican election—one longs for a “none of the above” box. Let’s hope to goodness Griffin keeps the BNP disciplined and finds some rich backers.

Apparently David Cameron has ‘a personal commitment to fighting world poverty’, according to Damian Green’s website.
 
By contrast, the pragmatic Chinese policy towards the Third World contains no cant or hypocrisy about poverty, democratic change, combatting-disease, educating piccaninnies or ‘racial equality’.  China thus displays true conservatism and I believe its policy will triumph over the neo-imperialist paternalism favoured by stupidly naive humanitarian interventionists.

THE Conservatives will next week ditch hardline policies on immigration that were widely seen to have backfired at the last election.

Do they really believe this?  How did they arrive at this conclusion?

If you need any further evidence that conservatism is worthless . . .

You missed the second part of the headline: “JJR celebrates their kindness and consideration. Jolly British, isn’t it, it’s how we won the war. Yep, I’m no Hitler, I’m willing to blame my own Volk, although they’re actually right. I mean, it’s what a certain Jewish sect, to which I don’t subscribe but to which you all should, preaches. Plus, it’s what Jesus Christ would have done, and would do y’know, I’m doing it aswell. That means I’m JC, though I don’t actually believe in him, which means I don’t exist. But that’s just crazy, that’s making a group judgment. I mean I’m a bull terrier breeder but not working class (unlike you lot). So, no group judgements, please. Hmmm, all those Mussies are just wonderful, but that’s not a group judgement, oh no. It’s only a group judgement if a nasty racist makes it.

I think you left out the part where John Ray’s objects of desire cook him the most delicious omelette, thereby justifying themselves as our future overlords.

It’s entirely legitimate to make group judgements about every species on the planet . . . but not human beings. Listen. I know very well that this happens to be a fundamental premise of political science, and that every government on the face of the earth takes this for granted when formulating their foreign policies, but while we can know something about the French, the Russians, or the Italians, the Jews, as a group, are unknowable. The Jews are individuals, entirely devoid of any salient social identity. Their behavior is so arbitrary and unpredictable that nothing further can be said about them, which is why the Jews they bother to talk about themselves as a group, seeing as how they don’t exist.
