You're obviously not thinking what they're thinking. Trouble is I'm remembering what they hoped I forgot! There are a whole raft of policies in addition to the ones you list - all equally divisive.
There are gypsies
There is falsifying MRSA figures for their brochures ( they incidentally contracted out hospital cleaning)
There is doctoring photos of immigrants (the lengths people will go to to stand next to Anne Widdecombe)
There is Oliver Letwin's proposed treasury spreadsheet where 2 and 2 don't equal 5 but 6 or even 7! (not seeing much of him)
On a personal note they send letters to my wife and children and phone the house to speak to them but ignore me. I must be in their black book as a lost cause (after what I said to their candidate at the last GE, no doubt).
If past experience is anything, their final frying up is to infer anybody who does not think like they do are not truely British.
There's plenty of time yet for them to expand their portfolio!
Shes off to find the next bunch of poor saps to leach off of! Hopefully we've actually got an MP that will fight for us now rather thean trying to see how far she can get up someones arse
Somebody told me a Candy story during the election, whether its true or not its worth relating:
"Apparently Candy wento to a school to promote healthy eating and there was a photographer there who gave her a lovely green juicey apple to hold in the photograph to promote the story. After the cameraman had finished and in front of a classroom of children, she said referring to the apple 'Get that fresh muck away from me.' and the proceeded to devour a plate of biscuits." Apparently the class teacher was absolutely disgusted.
No wonder it took Jamie Oliver to highlight the problem of unhealthy school dinners
Now here is a true tale so Masterclass you can call you libel lawyer mates (is Masterclass American or something?).
Candy was doing her taking a stand for Nancekuke bit on Radio Cornwall. As many people know Nancekuke was a MOD base on the North Cornish coast where nerve agents and other nasty substances were concocted for military purposes.
A report had just been published, after much pressure by Candy (and many others but Candy gave herself the credit) on what the soil contained at Nancekuke and whether the MOD should be called down to do a clean up job. The report said that the soil at Nancekuke contained high levels of the poison arsenic.
So Candy was on Radio Cornwall ranting how that the soil had arsenic and the MOD should be called to do their duties, etc. The Radio Cornwall presenter rather cleverly called a environmental officer for Kerrier District Council and asked him what he thought of the arsenic levels at Nancekuke.
The council officer replied that he would be more surprised if there wasn't high levels of arsenic as the area was a former mining area and arsenic is a by product of mining not manufacturing nerve agents.
Candy, obviously not knowing much about Cornwall's heritage, fell rather quiet on the radio interview.
I don't doubt it, but it doesn't sound like the way politicians usually behave at these sorts of visits. Most of them would play nice, pretend to like the apple, then secretly devour a packet of Jammie Dodgers in the car afterwards.
So Candy got the place cleaned up in the end, or not? I think it's quite a good story, seeing as she got something done, and raised awareness of an issue, etc.
