JOHN CLANCY - LABOUR'S MAN IN QUINTON FAVOURS MUGABE ECONOMICS

Quinton is a quiet suburb on the western edge of Birmingham with a lot of owner occupiers. So can you imagine my surprise when word reached me that in John Clancy, Labour are putting up a candidate whose policies borrow from Mugabe.

Respect for other people’s property is the basis of a decent society. But on this score, the Labour candidate for Birmingham Quinton has more in common with the Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe than the people of Quinton.

“Stealing land off Brits…”

On his website he says he favours land nationalization. In a piece published on a blog titled ‘Why Calthorpe needs to go’ he gave more detail.

“So, we TAKE land from the very rich … and give back to the Crown, because the Crown now has a better use for it.”

And his plans for these ill-gotten gains.

“…To sell it off to foreigners!”

“We could sell the land over time to hungry buyers around the world, to sovereign wealth funds, to the Chinese and Russians.”

Like this?

“assets like Ascot Race Course, which no doubt the uber-wealthy Middle Eastern Horse Racing fanatics would be slavering over the possibility of buying.”

The Labour candidate for Quinton is a dangerous fanatic. Just more evidence of Labour's lurch to the left.

A Top Conservative Blog

I came in number 92 in Total Politics Top 100 Conservative blogs. As I average 2 blogs per month over the last year, I have got to pleased with that. I'd like to thank both of my readers and the person who voted for me.

Update

I note that another Conservative blog from a member of Birmingham Ladywood association was a high new entry. Congratulations guythemac on firing in at number 45.
