"Tories are closet racists and homophobes" says leading Lib Dem!


Many months ago I was looking up about the by-election for the Mayor of Bedford. I didn’t know this was on until seeing it on the news a few days before. So I popped the term "Bedford Mayor" into Google and I was surprised to find the following as one of the top results in a Liberal Democrat blog.

It says: “The key question between now and next May is how quickly can the LD’s get it through to the electorate in key marginals that the Tories remain a coalition between the blatantly self-interested, closet racists, and homophobes (not necessarily mutually exclusive categories) with a small leavening of publicly acceptable faces designed to ‘con’ people into voting for them.” Link to full entry here.

This was written by Martin Land, who was a candidate for Eynesbury and Eaton Socon at the last County Council elections. He is also campaign manager for the Liberal Democrats in Cambridgeshire. If this is what Martin Land thinks about Conservatives then he doesn't really know his enemy and the Liberal Democrats are destined to keep on losing!

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
