I once had a woodwork teacher named Mr pinder. He was black, I say this just to ephasise my point. He supported labour. He claimed the conservatives to instatutionally rascist, and claimed the tories and the BNP are 1 and the same.
He had an argument, and I must grant him that. His argument has that due to Enoch Powell, means the Tories are rascist, siting Blake “1 dead child is sad, 2 is a coinsodence and 3 is murder” His point is because some people have been rascist it means the tories are rascist.
Why is this wrong well, 3 reasons:
REASON 1: In Blakes time the average familly had about 12 children, so for 3 to die would mean 1/4 have died. Therefore, following his logic that means that out of the millions of members and voters 1/4 are rascist. What poppycock. so lets say the tories have only had 10 million members, that means 2.5 million rascists, that cannot be true.
REASON 2: The conservatives are ideologically opposed to this and historically also. Afterall, a rascist party wouldn’t let a Jew (in a time of very previllant anti-semitism) lead them… but o wait there was a guy called Benjamin Disraeli. Moreover, they wouldn’t have fought so hard under Pitt (younger) to end the slave trade after the french revolution. They wouldn’t have pioneered ideas of equality, not on pay or social standings which logistically cannot work, but in the only way which can legally. Afterall a party with roots in Liberty (see previous post) can’t be rascist surely, it’s illogical.
REASON 3: Do you remember what happened to the numpty who woke up in wolvehampton and decided in that hotel he would rip up his parties reputation. He was sacked as shadow health secretary the very next day and removed from the party. The tories do know this misattributed stigma exsists. Afterall i do believe the Labour father of the house who retired in 2005 claimed Blair was leading a “jewish rabball”, moreover Moseley was in parliment under the labour whip for 3 more years than he was under the tory whip ( he went red as no-one would follow him in the Conservative party)
What I want to say is that, all parties have radicals and extremists in their midst but we should remember that a party who has a history like the conservatives do, is not rascists and anyone in the party with these views is actually not a tory in a but membership which will be terminated like powells upon discovery.
Therefore I conclude the Conservative Party is not rascist
