LGB Conservatives think the Tory party is captured too.

About to go to sleep, and I came upon this.

According to LGB Conservatives (don’t actually know who they are. An actual group within the party?), the Tory party is strongly allied with Stonewall and “may not hold out much longer”.

If this is true, we really are up against it. The only action that springs to mind, is contacting as many Tory MP’s as we can, to let them know cancelling women’s rights will be noticed, and we really do care.

Likewise with safeguarding of children in schools.

I don’t know what this group knows, or where their information comes from, though.

In another thread, In AIBU, someone was suggesting Dominic Cummings is busily undermining the civil service, and hoarding power for himself. We know the civil service is captured, anyone know anything about Cummings?

We’ve got a new Tory MP after our last one defected to the LDs in a huff over Brexit. Our last MP was incredibly ‘woke’ and would have been totally on board with self-ID but I get the impression that our new one would probably be prepared to listen to concerns.

I’m going to contact him about this.

I've posted about this before but I'm quite concerned we're all so busy watching Labour that we're in danger of forgetting who actually holds the power. I'm sure the TWAW lobby won't be making this mistake.

Individual Conservative MPs in influential roles have certainly been targeted and captured, e.g. Maria Miller, Penny Mordaunt.

But it's an authoritarian regime now. I feel I'd be better off writing to Carrie Symonds and Dominic Cummings. But I suppose I'll give Liz Truss a go for form's sake.

The feeling I get is that the Tories started the self ID consultation to earn woke cookies without thinking through the ghastly implications. When realisation dawned, they were horrified and are now trying to kick the whole thing into the long grass.
They will be so tied up with Brexit for the foreseeable future, it should be easy to bury the whole issue indefinitely. Especially now they’ve seen the fury Labour have unleashed.

That LGB Conservatives Twitter thread takes a very different view to Labour and lib dems.

The conservatives have a large majority, they don't need to cave to anyones demands. They also will be well aware of the reaction to the pledges that the Labour leadership candidates have sign up to.

I think a lot of stuff that has happened on their watch is a result of a laissez faire approach which has enabled laws to be ignored or broken rather than the conservatives actively pushing this. That needs to stop though.

Anyone with a Tory MP please write/go and see them. Labour is self imploding BUT all this bollocks - CPS, Education Service, Police etc is on their watch.

The EA law is currently on our side but they are allowing the law to be ignored or wilfully misinterpreted stonewalled

They need to stop this shit.

Feel like we’re on safe ground with Cummings on this

LiterallyProblematic · 14/02/2020 08:11

Cummings made those delightful comments when advertising for talent to join the no10 team, something like: we want true diversity, neurodiversity, not identity bollocks.

Well yeah, it's a top down movement, so looking for help from anyone in power is pretty fucking useless.

What the Tory's being in power has done is given the public slightly more time to discuss what's happening.
