The Future’s Blue
At this website you can watch a video of Conservative Future, the re-branded Young Conservatives.
I, personally, don’t think it’s as embarrassing as some on the left have been making out. As Alix said on Liberal Conspiracy, ”Some normals, some tossers, quite a lot of received prejudice, same as in any youth politics movement”.
What I find altogether more significant and worrying is the the Tory PPC for Tooting – Mark Clarke – thinks that the UK should pursue banking secrecy and low/no tax policies as a development path out of the recession.
You know, like the Turks and Caicos Islands. Which are currently having their Government taken over by the United Kingdom because of the political, social and economic collapse that has resulted from 3 decades of tax havenry.
Many Tories still don’t get it about tax havens. They’re on the wrong side of history. Just ask Barack Obama.
