No. I went to school with plenty of the clade now in power - one is a cabinet minister, another just an MP, others are Tory activists or were Tory MPs until the last election. The cabinet minister was the most profoundly racist and bigoted person in my year. I won’t repeat the kind of slurs he routinely came out with here, but I will say that he was kicked out of history, repeatedly, for saying “they got what they deserved”, when discussing the holocaust. The MP was suspended for a term for sexual assault. Yes, that’s anecdotal, but it speaks of the character of the type of person attracted to their ideology.
In more concrete terms, if you look at what is being said, privately and publicly, what is becoming policy, which dead cats are being thrown at the press, it is extremely worrying.

- madaxe_again 6y agoI like breathing, so no. My godfather spoke out against them a few years ago when told to preside over a secret court. They destroyed him through the press. Cameron went on national TV to condemn him for being a paedophile apologist, when he’s absolutely no such thing, and the court transcripts from the supposed incident clearly show that the remarks ascribed to him were actually made by a police constable. His wife committed suicide in the aftermath, and his children fled the country as they were being threatened by the public and hounded by the gutter press. He is a shadow of the man he was. So no. I won’t name names.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoI can't find any relevant comment by cameron accusing/condemning anyone for being a 'paedophile apologist'. Or anyone being a godfather so accused. It's difficult to evaluate such accusations without more info, but it's equally important to know this stuff if what you say is accurate. These are very serious claims indeed.

- jacobush 6y agoThat incident, putting aside for a second whether it was right or wrong to so publicly and forcefully condemn him - there certainly would not have made much difference if Cameron would have mentioned it or not. The prosecutors wording and presentation was ill-advised and he would have get gotten a lot of flak regardless.
