We don't need the EU Social Chapter
The "grass roots" Welsh Labour blog, Aneurin Glyndwr, has a bizarre attack on the Tories.
There's nothing wrong with attacking the Tories, of course, but you'd have thought they'd learnt their lesson from the Crewe & Nantwich by-election where they made such a big thing of "Tory Toff" Timpson, only to lose by a massive majority. The Labour candidate in that by-election was, of course, Tamsin Dunwoody-Kneafsey who is so posh she even has her own page in Burkes Peerage and hasn't had to work for years.
This attack on "Toff Dave and Boy George" is over the Tories' promise to withdraw from the European Social Chapter. This, says Labour, means the end of the minimum wage, holiday pay and maternity and paternity rights.
Aside from the fact that any promise on the EU that Camoron utters isn't worth the paper it's written on (it took 3 years and the realisation that they were going to get pounded by the eurosceptic vote in the impending EU election to carry out his promise to withdraw from the eurofederalist EPP group in the imperial parliament) we don't need any EU regulations to be guaranteed rights. There is no reason why the minimum wage, holiday pay and maternity and paternity rights can't be enshrined in English and Scottish law. There is no reason why we need EU rules made up by foreign politicians and quangocrats to protect rights in our own country.

Cambridge Conservatives give UKIP Deputy Leader sympathetic hearing
The Cambridge University Conservative Association invited UK Independence Party Deputy Leader and Prospective Lead European Election Candidate for the Eastern Counties, David Campbell Bannerman, to speak in the famous Cambridge Union building on 23rd October. He was asked to explain why he chose to leave the Conservative Party and why he believes it is time to vote for the UK Independence Party.
Mr Campbell Bannerman said: "I was a Conservative for 20 years, and still believe in conservative values such as love of country, strong defence, being tough on crime, low taxes, controlling immigration, and smaller state and grammar schools - sadly modern Conservatives seem to have abandoned these core principles."
"Loyal Conservatives have been let down. They were promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, but the Tories refuse to hold one if Lisbon is ratified by the time they get to Government. They promised to leave the pro-Lisbon, pro-Euro EPP Group in the European Parliament, but haven't. They promised Euro election candidates based on merit, but then they rig their MEP selection process to force women to the front of lists with less votes than the men they overtake, and where existing MEPs cannot be replaced. Mugabe would be familiar with such gerrymandering!"
"UKIP offers Conservatives a chance to send a clear message about where their priorities lie: that Britain should trade happily with the EU, but does not want to be in the political superstate: that we want Supertrade not a Superstate."
"In 2004, UKIP rocked the political establishment by coming third with 16% of the vote and 2.7 million votes. Lending UKIP Tory votes in the 2009 European Election can shake things up again!"
