Tories Snub the ABC It Seems

TORY SNUB - Simon Collyer the founder of the ABC was asked in an email would he like to contribute to Tory Party funds as the election looms early December.

Simon seized the moment and asked could the ABC be added to the Conservative Party press release list. 

So far there has been no response.

We get a large number of press releases and newsletters every day from all kinds of organisations including political parties and we try and give everybody a fair hearing.

Our local MP Will Quince has done a very good job for us, excellent in fact, and we must thank Will's staff, especially case handler and researcher, Rachel for being so kind and patient. We have certainly kept there busy and we have put forward some worthy issues to be looked at, which Will has frequently taken forward. 

The attitude to those on benefits especially the disabled by the Tory party is hard to understand or make sense of?

Approximately 15% of the UK population has a disability. As political philosopher Machiavelli tried to fathom, if we have concepts of what is good and right in society, why do we so often elect those whose views are so different from what most people would see as good or decent?

We can only imagine that our public schools breed a kind of survival of the fittest attitude in this small elite section of society, that gets the top jobs in the military, civil service and politics. 

Who knows, we don't here at the ABC.
