    To use this obscure, though interesting, bit of history about a very very obscure Lord Mayor from 80 odd years ago as a reason for people not to trust the tories is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have read this week!!

    I’ll leave no stone unturned or any opportunity to go begging in lambasting the Tory c*nts. Disraeli was a prick as well, does that go far enough back for you? Horrible, cruel lot and their past odious behaviour should always be brought up to remind people, how would we ever learn otherwise?

    I have never studied Disraeli but do know that the Tories under him passed a factory act which provided workers protection, another act to allow peaceful picketing and another which let workers sue employers if they broke legal contracts plus other reforming legislation. Did some decent things then

    I can remember my History teacher saying that Gladstone and Disraeli were both in the wrong party and the more I learned about the two of them, the more I thought he was right.

    Disraeli was of course the first one nation conservative.

    The Liberal-Labour (these were Liberal MP's backed by a Trade Union) said of Disraeli's workers reforms of the 1870's "The Conservative party have done more for the working classes in five years than the Liberals have in fifty."

    Still not sure why Splott Parker thinks so badly of him

    And the tories have spent the last hundred and forty years more than making up for their apparent generosity towards the working class in the 1870s .

    My teacher was right though, Gladstone would probably have felt more at home in today's Conservative party than Disraeli.
