Tosser Tories - they just don't learn!

Believe it or not the Tories have launched a website about debt in which they describe people with debts as "tossers". That's okay from a party that is in debt to the tune of millions of pounds, supports tuition fees, and doubled the National Debt?

So if you have a credit card, loans, overdrafts or you owe your mates for the last round in the pub that you were supposed to get but had spent the money, you are a tosser, according to the Tories.

But if you are a rich Etonian who doesn't have to borrow to put an expensive windmill on top of your Notting Hill home and can turn to mummy to help pay for your country abode in Oxfordshire, then clearly you are an untossed Tory.

Now, if memory serves me correctly, wasn't a certain David "T" Cameron (T stands for.....) some kind of special adviser to Tory Chancellors in the early 1990s when the then Tosser, sorry I mean Tory, government was borrowing hand over fist, knocking up a record National Debt?

I'm off to spend some money on my credit card now, so as the Tories would say, I'm off for a t...

What a hypocrite you Lib Dems are.

See this quote:

"This is the second year for the 'Don't Be A Tosser' Campaign.

Where does it come from?

The web site of the Lib Dem MP Greg Mulholland.

You have clearly demonstrated your ability to copy and paste the same message onto a number of blogs. In the same spirit, I have copied and pasted the responses of others to your post:

Kevin, had you read the Mulholland site story properly you’d realise he was reporting a campaign organized by the Leeds Metropolitan Students Union’s community action group, “CALM”. These were projects set up with Home Office money in Students Unions around the country (we have one at Brookes called “STAX - Students for Active Communities”) to get student populations involved in and concerned for their impact on others in their neighbourhoods.

Indeed, Kevin this is the full quote from Greg’s site:
“Student group Community Action Leeds Met (CALM) are fully supportive of the plans, and are stepping up their ‘Don’t be a Tosser’ anti-littering campaign. Spokesman Charlie Cusden said “This is the second year for the ‘Don’t Be A Tosser’ Campaign. We’d like to involve all students in recycling - especially of flyers. We’ll work with everyone possible to find a solution to the problem which returns every year with the disposal of flyers.”
The quote isn’t even from Greg Mulholland himself.

However, were you to have read the entry properly, you would see that it is not about the word "tosser" being offensive. It is about the hypocrisy of a party massively in debt, that supports pushing students further into debt and that doubled the National Debt when government, preaching to others about the need to keep out of debt.

I refuse to take the "Are you a tosser test" on the grounds that if I pass I will have to join the Tory party.
