Re: Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler ?

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

Disraeli was a Llandaff North lad , straight up socalist, sort of comfortable off left talker but right living , that trait has caught on .

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 :hehe:.

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

An often used aphorism of Disraeli “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics.”

As true now as it was then
