    Can someone post a link to this.

    In Cornwall one of our strongholds there have been a large number of Conservative internal feuds which have resulted in some powerful Tories also being kicked out of the Party.
    The Ashley Crossley saga all but destroyed a sound working machine and has created an anti tory machine run by alienated Tories. In fact Conservatism is a dirty word and the PPCs already selected are finding it a nightmare to rally support- and that is without Liberal Democrat PPCs selected.
    Yes the Conservative Party is a lousy,nasty and devious Party – ask the ex Cornish Conservatives.
