11 July (Part 1) - The really nasty party
An email came in last night containing information about the Conservative Spokesman for Erith & Thamesmead and Sevenoaks Councillor Anna Firth…
Hi Malcolm,
You’ll be interested to hear that the wretched Anna Firth of Sevenoaks pretending to be of Erith has been unceremoniously thrown off the Tory candidate list.
It has been said she received unfavourable references from David Evennett and from the Tory Association.
With some accusing her of disobeying Tory HQ by not campaigning in target seats.
Can she really carry on calling herself Tory spokesman any more?
She ain’t going anywhere near Parliament any time soon.
Actually that is old news but now that it appears to be circulating
a little more widely maybe it is time to say something about it.
Anna Firth was a founder member of
Women for Britain which campaigned for the
country to leave the EU where, according to Prime Minister David Cameron only a
few months ago, it will thrive.
Several leading Conservative politicians campaigned for the same thing while
the most disappointing Prime Minister of my lifetime changed his tune. Around a month ago I was
told, and Anna Firth confirmed it, that Cameron and/or his equally nasty
colleagues had taken revenge on Anna by removing her from the list of approved
Parliamentary candidates.
It was that childlike act of spite that persuaded me to push the pro-Brexit
cause on BiB a major feature of which was to include Anna’s short videos. Anna
didn’t want Cameron’s appalling attack on free speech to be widely known while
she argued for reinstatement, however I could not resist a subtle tease along with the videos.
• Anna is the founder of a group called Women for Britain which is stridently anti-EU
and been making a noise all over the place. She ran an excellent General Election campaign in
2015 and lost badly. Even if history repeats itself she won’t be the most popular of ladies in No. 10.
• The way she is going she will be flung out of DC’s nasty party.
Maybe it was too subtle, nobody commented.
The nastiness of the Conservatives at the highest level can surely not be in
doubt, especially after the past weekend. It’s almost enough to persuade me to join UKIP.
For the record, I cannot confirm whether or not the MP for Bexleyheath & Crayford is party to this disgraceful attack on democracy.
