Tory boys of both sexes

Chloe's website, (the Norwich North clone), boasts that... "It's clear that, when the by-election is called, no candidate will have a stronger record of working for people in and around Norwich than Chloe." Apparently she has "put pressure on the city council to help people waiting for double glazing to be fitted in their council properties."

It may come as a surprise to little Chloe but not all of us proles live in council houses. There are a great many people whose chief ambition is to one day obtain a stable home in the form of a council house. Many of those people presently live days at a time without heating or hot water because the gas runs off a token meter thanks to the moronic policies of Brown and soon to be Camoron. Those days will soon turn into weeks.

It is therefore somewhat of a slap in the face to those people living in privately rented accommodation, to learn that their exorbitant council tax bills go toward double glazing for those in stable homes afforded to them by everyone else. It comes from a somewhat patronising mindset which assumes those with the good fortune to have a council house represent the lowest incomes. They do not, far from it. In fact, those most in need are likely never be even considered for a council house. But then what are we to expect from a sheltered little "tory boy" (they come in both sexes). We are not amused.

She also claims to have "pushed the council to address road problems across the Crome area - such as by testing out a 20 m.p.h. speed limit on Borrowdale Drive, and getting Heartsease Lane, Woodside Road and Plumstead Road East added to the Speed Awareness Monitor project" (another pointless quango?). Now the funny thing about people who ignore speed limits is that they will ignore them however low they are. And that is chiefly because they do not expect to be caught. And they're probably right. Thanks to our target culture the local speed Gestapo tend to go for the "Target Rich Environment". Does anyone think for a moment the Tories will reverse the very system they implemented?

And then we get to her support for "Save Our Post Offices". Does she know that this is an EU directive at work? Does she even get why Post Offices are closing? There is this little thing called "teh inter-web" which makes them non-viable. There is nothing a rural post office can do that a private post truck cannot. But we are expected to prop up post offices on some spurious argument that they are integral to the community. Has she considered the alternatives? Or is she just on the populist bandwagon?

I guess we'll never find out. She doesn't do substance. She's a real Tory.
