TORY SOCIALISM

In his latest grandstanding trip abroad, Dave Cameron is currently in Rwanda. Apparently he is joined by a group of 40 Tory volunteers who will spend up to 2 weeks working on aid projects.

In a speech today, attended by only 20 Rwandan MPs, Dave Cameron said:

‘There are some people in Britain, who told me not to come. They said I should stay at home and worry about domestic concerns.

Well let me tell them – let me tell you – that in the 21st century, a century of global
trade, global migration, and yes, global terrorism, there is no “domestic” and "foreign” any more. In this world today, we are all in it together.

The rich cannot escape the consequences of poverty and instability. What happens in one place affects many others.

Gas from a factory in Beijing can contribute to floods in Britain. Civil war in Somalia can bring thousands of migrants to Stockholm. A cartoon in Denmark can create riots in Damascus. Our futures are linked as never before.’

Given that his constituents are currently flooded, one might have thought that the local MP would be concerned about them rather than a Rwandan photo opportunity.

Even a Rwandan journalist asked Dave Cameron about the floods in his own constituency.

His speech is wrong. He talks as if this country never traded on a world scale before. Has he never heard of the British Empire?

What should be most important to any politician are those matters for which they are responsible: the poor drainage system, the building of houses on flood plains in order to facilitate mass immigration, and the poor government response to the crisis. These are matters which Dave Cameron can affect – not gas emissions from a factory in Beijing.

Civil war in Somalia does not ‘bring thousands’ of migrants to Europe, including the UK. It is the organized crime rackets, lured by the deluge of taxpayers’ money, who bring migrants to Europe.

It is the rioters who create a riot – not a cartoon printed many thousands of miles away on another continent.
