TORIES IN A TIZZ. NO CHANGE THERE.
Mid day – 19th Fe bruary 2010
ARE TOP TORY TOFFS TOO ‘POSH’ TO SIT ON TRAINS WITH THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THEIR WAGES?
Oh dear, ‘TopTory Toff’ Sir Nicholas Winterton doesn’t want to mingle with people who are ‘different’ in standard class rail carraiges according to today’s News.
But just what to they mean by ‘different’? Do these Tories mean the voting public who keep them there and pay their wages?
The newspapers are full of it. Just click onto the link to the ‘Daily Record’ below.
But where do the Wallasey Wannabee Tories stand on this? Our guess is that they’ll wriggle to distance themselves from such outlandish comments.
But …………… err … ask them how they voted when Labour tried to introduce standard class only rail travel for Wirral Councillors. Do they remember what their attitude was then, and how they voted?
If they stay silent shall we remind them?

WOULD SECRET CONSERVATIVE PLANS ‘HALT REGIONAL PROJECTS’ IN LIVERPOOL & MERSEYSIDE?
Well, if the Liverpool Daily Post is correct the Tories do rather seem to be tumbled on this one don’t they?
Please do log onto the link below to see what the crafty monkeys really seem to be up to on the quiet. We know the Wallasey Tories are our most avid readers so let’s see how they can squirm their way out of this one. Are they going to say the ‘Post’ has got it all wrong? Or will they find some form of weasel words to try to make it look as though day is night and black is white? That’s what they’re best at but this looks like a difficult one for them to get out of.
Let’s see what explanations they can come up with!
Tory Ladies & Denis Knowles – Cuba inspired revolutionaries? We take a (light hearted) look.
9th January 2010
‘Light hearted’? Well, let’s face it, when a bunch of people as previously conventional as the Wallasey Tory Ladies figure in pictures of themselves, and of the Cuban Communists, in an article describing Wirral Tory politics and Fidel Castro’s Cuba in the same breath, can you do anything else but laugh? It’s not something you’d be able to take seriously – were it not that their spokesperson who’s putting this stuff about (presumably with their blessing) actually speaks and writes as though they really mean it.
Meanwhile the attached link will take you to a story by veteran news reporter Liam Murphy.

Red/Blue Tories?
It shows a picture of Cuban revolutionaries, recently published on a Wallasey Tory blog.
Just below that, there is also a recent picture of Wallasey’s Tory Team, led by Cllr Mrs Leslie Rennie; and a local Liscard Tory Councillor who would like to be a Member of Parliament, with some others.
They don’t actually look at all revolutionary - quite the opposite, they look rather primly conservative. But that’s only our impression; the Tories know their own political party better than we do so it’s not for us to challenge their spoksman’s belief that the Tories are revolting revolutionary.
So make no mistake, we don’t dismiss these Tory publications lightly. Their spokesman has been on so many lone visits to Cuba that we suspect he’s developed a real grasp of revolutionary methodology. After all he’d previously accumulated a lot of leadership experience over here, as well. Wasn’t he the Cabinet member who so eloquently advocated the closure of Wirral’s public lavatories? More recently wasn’t he the Chairman of ’Merseytram’? And don’t we all know how difficult it is to avoid being knocked down by all the trams that are swarming about?
But how real is the threat? With Tory Cllr Knowles increasingly their most popular spokesman, and clearly able to lead Wirral Tories ideologically, will they now re-group (Perhaps even build a base among the dense tropical forests and duck ponds of Central Park?) to spearhead a Cuban style take over of Wirral?
Their article (perhaps unwittingly) draws attention to the fact that it took Fidel only a couple of years to achieve his revolution whereas the Tories haven’t managed anything like it in the UK even after thirteen years. OK, everyone knows ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’. But we’re told the author of their new Wallasey ideology wasn’t the foreman on that job.

Are cuckoos ever truly safe in another bird's nest?
Meanwhile we can’t help wondering what happens when their spokesmen talk of revolutionary Tories and Cuban communism in the same breath.
We await further reports on this great epic - with mild interest.
It gets stranger by the day
8th January 2010
It seems that Wallasey Tories have adopted a new understanding of the word ‘revolution’.
According to their new spokesman, Denis Knowles, they are ideologically very close to Fidel Castro. He has published a photograph of Fidel and Che Guevara taken in 1959 from the war against Batista.

This is really something extraodinary.
Happy reading.
