ASTONISHINGLY, THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNITED KINGDOM HAS WRITTEN A LETTER TO SOUTH SUFFOLK TORIES BACKING TIM YEO TO THE HILT

David Cameron, George Osborne, Tim Yeo and Boris Johnson all have three things in common: they were all members of a rowdy and unpleasant Oxford University sect called the Bullingdon Club. They are all members of the Conservative Party. And they have all, on many occasions, defended indefensibly awful people. Cameron is the Prime Minister, Osborne is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Boris Johnson is the Mayor of London’s capital city. Come what may, they stick together….a tiny but uniquely powerful clique. Now they are backing one of the most corrupt MPs in history, Tim Yeo. Almost seventy years after the first majority Labour Government set out to make Britain a country of equal opportunity for all, this is the extent to which we have regressed as a culture.

In the spirit of New Year two years ago, David Cameron told the Daily Telegraph that he ‘would use 2012 to convince people that he had a “vision at the end of this, of a fairer, better economy, a fairer, better society, where if you work hard and do the right thing you get rewarded”’.

The vast majority of us remain to be convinced that either (a) he wants a level playing field situated nowhere near Eton or (b) he really rewards the correct sort of behaviour. He has made an internet charlatan, Grant Shapps, Chairman of the Party. He has a recorded anti-NHS tax-avoider as Health Secretary. He was close both personally and professionally to Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks. And now he seems happy to acquiesce in the people closest to him defending a notoriously corrupt MP.

Cameron was a member of the Bullingdon Club. So too was Boris Johnson. Johnson ignored the Defra Data on Yeo’s lousy taxi-fume emissions to help him get almost monopolistic access to the market for London cabs.This little epic of fair-play (and Yeo being caught selling his arse to business by the Sunday Times) led to Tim ‘Sh*t’ Yeo being deselected by South Suffolk Conservatives….a long overdue move.

But bully-bully-bully and play up chaps, we must protect our own: so now the equally dyed-in-the-wool Bullingdon boy George Nobsore has written a projectile vomit-inducing appeal for Timothy Yeo MP to be allowed to retain his seat in the House of Commons. In the letter, Britain’s No Two Executive member describes Yeo as a “politician of principle” and someone who is “experienced, conscientious, thoughtful, loyal and steady under fire.” Writing to Yeo personally, he tells this sleazy, verminous man, “It would be a real loss to the House of Commons if you were forced to stand down when you still have so much to contribute. The Conservative Party at Westminster would be weaker without you.”

But hark….also involved in this Praise the Scum fest is one Michael Gove, the geeky little boy from Aberdeen who lacked the breeding to be in the Bullingdon Club, but remains even now keen to suck up to those go-getters he sees as his betters. Murdoch’s favourite bumboy writes to say that Yeo is “highly respected and immensely experienced”, and that he would be “very sorry if Tim had to leave the House prematurely. I hope therefore that the South Suffolk Conservative Association will vote to keep him as their candidate for the 2015 General Election.”

Er, well Mikey, they already voted to tell him to f**k off anywhere else but here, but then you’d be well-versed in defending the indefensible, would you not? For did you or did you not, Education Secretary, on the 29th May 2012 launch an impassioned defence of Rupert Murdoch, describing this foul man as “one of the most impressive and significant figures of the last 50 years” in forceful but unconvincing evidence to the Leveson inquiry?

I think you did, sir. This News Corporation gargoyle, labelled “not a fit person” to run an international company by a House of Commons select committee. You described him, did you not, as a “force of nature, a phenomenon, a great man”.

I think you did sir. And were you not unapologetic about a string of meetings with Murdoch and senior News International executives after your Party came to power in May 2010, admitting to 11 meetings with senior News Corp figures between the general election win in May 2010 and July 2011, which of course as Education Secretary must have been vital to your work?

I think you were, sir.

As indeed, meeting with Newscorp executives 15 times in New York during 2009 was central to Jeremy Hunt’s fact-finding mission about American media. As indeed was Boris Johnson having the only unrecorded meetings of his Mayorship in 2011 at City Hall with Rebekah Brooks and Rupert Murdoch central to his understanding of the consequences of being a journalist employed by the Barclay Brothers late of Sark and elsewhere, and absolutely nothing to do with perverting the course of justice on the phone-hacking enquiry. Look, it must have been an entirely innocent meeting right, otherwise why did Bojo come out just days later and tell the media that the entire issue of phone hacking was “just a lot of left wing poppycock”? Search me.

One thing I do find hilarious about all this blind-eye bollocks inside our ever-so-straight Metropolitan Police, and their near-Siamese relationship with Newscorp and Tory grandees: I thought the Digger’s sole aim in life was to destroy the British class system and all those Toffs leading up to the ultimate Royals in Buck Palace? Well Roop me arl cobba, you do seem quite happy to have them bale you out, doncha?

We do not have a Resistance in Britain – which is really what we need. We do not even have an Opposition. Where are those who really want public behaviour beyond reproach to be the rule rather than the rare exception?

Our system is rotten to the core. Our legislators are the same powdered, dandyfied and depraved ponces the French threw out over 230 years ago. It is over for these people….but we must bid them go before the Mob decides Bastille-storming is the only answer.
