May ‘Victory’ Speech Held at Davis Leadership Launch Venue

In yesterday’s Sun column Guido noted that her headline speech at the “Victory in 2015″ conference was held at One Birdcage Walk, in Westminster. Mayan fans will find it a tad ominous that by coincidence the Home Secretary’s unofficial signal that she is a leadership contender was in the same building in which David Davis launched his fateful 2005 leadership campaign.

Her being a regular on the Tory “rubber chicken circuit” is clearly nothing more than coincidence either. Remarkable how she finds the time…

          Bedroom tax. I think that the councils tenants and housing association tenants should understand that they don’t own these houses and others are paying for it.

          When the property is more than they need they should be moved off. In expensive parts council and housing association properties should be sold off at open market rates. In UK we had ended with a culture that make some think that others have to work harder and pay for their living.

          Tax is too high on poor and middle classes, tax has to be cut.

        It seems Fox only wants to cut taxes for the super rich. He would have had more support if he hasn’t subsiding his friend on the public purse.

    There shouldn’t be any Islamic schools. If they don’t like it, tell them to piss off back to the Middle East.

    BW is ‘Flattered’ by the “attention” being given by the IMPOSTERS. I must surely have “rattled the cages” of the left and rights wings most corrupt mongrels to recieve such troll activity. Flatter as ever now that there is a right and left wing gang of wanchors trying to diss.

    Theresa May is the last person I would have thought of as a future leader. As for all her tough talk recently – like the Sun, I don’t buy it!

      +1

      She could do with dedicating her energies to getting rid of Abu Qatada, and deporting the 1 in 3 Romanians in this country who have been convicted (in the UK) of committing a crime. And she should be making damn sure no more of them come in.

    Anyone but Dave says:

    I’m not sure that Mrs May will cut the mustard as a leader who will attract the female voter.

    She is well capable of leading the Tory party and is a far better man than Dave is but she also needs to get them votes and this is imho where she will fail.

    Jacob 4 Tory Leader says:

    For Me it is Jacobs Rees Mogg who should be leading the Tories.

    He does not bullshit, considers everything he says, is a real Tory and is honest to admit mistakes. He is also liked by many in Parliament including the opposition.

    Once people get over his accent and realise that he is the real deal (and they will) he will be electable. Jacob is Boris to the power of 10 and unlike Boris is not a philanderer.

    This is the same May woman who has failed to get rid of that Muslim scumbag from the country? The one task that matters, she has flunked.

      It will also be interesting to see what happens in the case of the school girl that was stabbed to death on a bus in Birmingham last week. In last Friday’s Telegraph, they were openly reporting that the suspect, a 22 year old man named “Philip Similane” was arrested and then sectioned under the Mental Health Act in relation to the murder.

      I note that his name subsequently disappeared from all news paper articles about the murder over the the weekend…I wonder why?

    Three men have been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and false imprisonment within the grounds of an Islamic girls’ school, police said.

    Police said they were investigating reports surrounding the welfare of a small group of teenage girls at Jamea Al Kauthar in Lancaster.

    A 40-year-old from Bolton and two men from Blackburn, aged 30 and 53, are in police custody.

    Searches are being conducted at the school by female officers.

    A Lancashire Police spokesman said: “We are still at the very early stages of the investigation and our aim at the moment is to respond to the concerns raised proportionately, in a measured way and with sensitivity.

    “We are working closely with the school and the local authorities to establish the circumstances around exactly what has taken place and we have specialist officers supporting the victims.”

    The secondary school, on Ashton Road, was established in 1996.

        It’s code for “we’re going think about mentioning this at our next community liaison meeting with community leaders to enhance the rich multicultural community experience, but on second thoughts we won’t because it’s in their culture to do this and we shouldn’t be judgmental or impose our own imperialist values on them. I should perhaps resign for even thinking about it and I should be replaced by an effnic. I’m very sorry. Oooh look! A nice big fat pension! Yipee!”

    may cannot be leader as she is responsible for the continued open doors immigration, uncapped ict work visas for the outsourcers to flood the jobs market with indian nationals in skills already in oversupply (and so on), and that is the prime reason they will not be winning the election and therefore she would be a disaster as leader

    What no politician dare state:

    Actually the majority of the public are correct – why should 1 % of the population (The homosexuals) be allowed to dictate policy to the other 99% of the population?

        Listen up – you word mangler – The majority of the public do not support GAY MARRIAGE – THE EQUALITY 5HIT you mention is to distract from the fact that … to repeat myself:

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”



UKIP Official Policy Dept says:

Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
