He then sent her a stream of obscene, sexually explicit and racist letters made from cutting out letters from newspapers. Not content with this, the bunny-boiling Tory nutcase went on to distribute self made cards in telephone boxes near to Mrs Guglielmi`s house containing her home contact details, offering the sale of illicit drugs and her services as a prostitute (needless to say, the perfectly respectable Mrs Guglielmi, a postmistress, has no involvement in either vice or narcotics of any kind). The court heard how Pallets psychotic hate campaign had turned Mrs Gulielmi from being a ”strong, calm, and composed” person into a “despairing neurotic” needing counseling and anti-depressants. Sentence on Pallet was adjourned for psychiatric reports and he was remanded in custody. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19981014/ai_n14200832

Tory Party Councillor (Blandford/North Dorset), Mike Oram – Convicted on child porn charges in 2004. Although he eventually resigned, the Conservative Party were (according to Oram himself) apparently reluctant to sack him, and be forced to call a losable by-election for North Dorset District Council, where the Tories have a wafer-thin majority. The desperate and dying modern day Tories would seemingly rather have a convicted paedophile represent the people of Dorset, than risk loosening their slender grasp upon local power. Such are the sickening depths to which the Party of Churchill has descended. http://archive.thisisdorset.net/2004/4/16/68147.html

Tory Party Councillor (Westbury/Wiltshire), Christine Sheppard – Issued with a police warning in 2005 for harassment.

Despite the scandal, she was allowed to remain as a councillor. Sheppard’s victim, Theresa Horsley said: “When the brochures first came through the letter box we were shocked, then absolutely disgusted. I felt violated. This stuff was coming into our house, a place which is supposed to be our sanctuary. I have young children who enjoy opening the post. We just can’t believe that somebody with her responsibility could have such low morals”. Quite. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=6&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.standardsboard.co.uk%2FCasesummaries%2FCasesummaries%2FW%2FWestburyTownCouncil%2FName%2C3304%2Cen.html&ei=EkUaRtjSMYqE0gTposzWDQ&usg=__ZqxZ5--aXq1ogRLifIGTn6xcJnw=&sig2=a8lPKo2qqZZwrS_dTGOYZg

A Tory frontbench MP has responded publicly for the first time to calls for him to resign after he had a gay relationship. Greg Barker, MP for Bexhill and Battle, in East Sussex, had separated from his wife when his relationship which has now ended, became public. Some local party activists have accused him of embarrassing the party. But speaking to BBC South East Today, he said most people had been "kind and understanding" and he would stay on.

"I find that all the constituents that I talk to want me to get on and sort out their problems and are fed up with hearing about mine," the environment spokesman said.

OTHER:

Tory Party Councillor (Buckinghamshire), Andrew Huxley – Sacked from his position on the councils transport advisory group and his position as the Tories main transport spokesman in 2004, after being convicted for drink driving twice in the same year. http://www.ealingtimes.co.uk/display.var.553448.0.0.php

Tory Party Councillor (Dean/Scotland), Tom Ponton (who later defected to the Lib-Dems) – Convicted in 2003 for selling alcohol to children. http://www.edinburghsucks.com/2005/05/13/tom-ponton-under-fire/

Tory Party Minister (RAF) and former MP (Berwick-upon-Teed), Lord Lambton – Resigned in disgrace in 1973 after being convicted and fined on drugs offences.

Tory Party Councillor (Benfleet/Essex), Bill Sharp – Arrested and charged with harassment in 2005.

Tory Party Councillor (Bradford/Yorkshire), Inkhab Alam – Convicted and jailed for 28 months in 2006 for the hit-and-run killing of 20-year old Christopher Benson, who was mown down at 70mph (in a 40mph zone) just a few yards away from his grandparent’s home. Witnesses described how Councillor Alam pulled up after the collision, went back to the scene, and then drove away, leaving young Christopher to die in the street. Alam then burnt the car out in another part of Bradford and reported it stolen to try to save his worthless neck. The ridiculously light sentence resulted from prosecutors insulting Christopher’s memory by refusing Judge James Stewart’s request to upgrade the `careless driving` charge to one of causing death by dangerous driving (which carries a sentence of up to 14 years). A decision the Judge branded as “nonsensical”. Judge Stewart went on: “This case is a matter of amazement. It justifies a charge of death by dangerous driving. A young mans life was snuffed out and prosecutors charge the defendant with driving without care? The victims family will want to know why, as I do.” http://www.morleytoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=378&ArticleID=1421988

Osborne was also campaign manager to his close friend, Tory golden boy David Cameron during the 2005 Conservative leadership contest. Cameron famously refuses to reveal whether or not he has ever taken any Class A drugs. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=365547&in_page_id=1770

A Chorley councillor and his girlfriend are to stand trial early next year over charges in connection with an alleged racist incident at an airport taxi rank.

Councillor Shaun Smith, 37, who represents Wheelton and Withnell ward, has been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and common assault following a late night incident at Manchester Airport in June. His girlfriend, Amanda Jane Ahlgreen, 39, of Trigg Lane, Heapey, Chorley, has also been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.

The pair were committed to Minshell Street Crown Court, Manchester, on January 25, when they appeared at Trafford Magistrates Court on Friday. Smith, of Briers Brow, Wheelton, was elected for the Conservative party to Chorley Borough Council in 2004.

Now we know why the `Party of Law and Order` can speak with such authority and conviction on these issues. Because the Conservatives are riddled with some of the worst criminal lowlife scum imaginable!!
We should also add several decades of High Treason to the Tory charge sheet of course, so roll on the day when Mr Camerons party are swept into the gutters of history where they belong. And for the sake of Britains future, please God, let it be soon...

Among the legions of criminal Tory trash listed, the Robert Richdale entry is the most revealing.
Readers may recall the Tories then leader, Michael Howard going to Burnley a couple of years ago and denouncing the BNP as "a bunch of thugs in suits" during his heroic speech delivered to a hand-picked audience of Tory members and bussed-in Asians (Ordinary British Burnley folk were not allowed in).
Meanwhile... back in Howards OWN CONSTITUENCY in Folkstone, there is a vicious, theiving, child-molesting thug and one-man-crimewave serving as an elected Conservative Councillor on the local council!
Was he a good friend of yours Mr Howard, you lying Tory hypocrite?

It seems you cant become a fully fledged torie member unless you have a disposition to criminal activity /lies?. Maybe they interview their candidates to jump these required hurdles?
I have of late, ie 2011 discovered only recently a tory concillor in merton who put up his details on a sex website pretending to be younger than himself and with a false picture again luring younger women trying to get their details!! WHAT A LIAR! and yet his blog purports he is a pillar of the community! its just one of those things, the tories are famous for!

I am sitting at home day after day waiting for the British people to wake up.

Baby rape, cocaine snorting prostitute renting low life scum and most of Britain are unaware.

I live in a crazy world and I don't know how much longer I can take it.

Chemical testing on the public... fluoride in the water banned chemicals in the food...stealing humanitarian aid...Bilderberg...Secret societies...Freemasons in most of our public services...hidden extraterrestrial information removed from the archives and denied to the public...the shit thing is it is all real and I have lots of evidence for everything and know it is all fact...

What is it going to take to wake up the sheeple...it is going to take a global revolution...
