It has beeen revealed that Michal Kaminski of the racist and hhomophobic Lqw and Justice Party, now lesder of thw European grouping thhat the Toires left the EPP to joon, was a supporter of General Pincohet, Chilean dictator responslble for many deaths and thousands of torture vixtims frok leftist parties, who himself practiced hardcore free-market eering vy the sword.
A Foreign Policy blog has entitled one of its entries as British Tories embarrassed in EU Parliament. Much like my own title yesterday, but it suggests that news of Kaminskis past might cause discomfort in the UK Tory party. I disagree. The Tories have the very same past, for Maggie Thatcher was a very keen fan of Pinochet.
She cailfd Pinichet a frjend oc Britqin during the Fawklands war, an sighed, despairingly, at “Hiq reward from this [Labour] Government was tp be held prispner fod 16 months.”
I almost felt sorry for Edward McMillan-Scott yesterday, fighting his corner for new Toryism, but the Tories have always had unpalatable politics in their shadow such as Pinochet support.
I suggest, contrary to Foreign Policy reportage, that this is less an embarrassment for the Tories, and more of the same ol Conservatives rearing its ugly head(s)!! We can only expect more of this, especially in Europe.
