Conservative Party Conference - actions speak louder than words

If you want to know what the Conservative Party really stands for, forget David Cameron and the
conference. Look at Barnet Council, where they are entrenched in power.

* Huge Financial mismanagement (Iceland)
* Massive increases in fiscal debt.
* Secrecy culture (closed session cabinet decisions)
* No respect for voters/taxpayers
* Schemes for stealth taxes (Barnet Bond)
* Botched public works projects with huge cost overruns (Aerodrome Road)
* Anti democratic behaviour (electing new leader 2 weeks after the election)
* Massive rises in taxes
* Huge rises in Councillor allowances
* Cuts to Sheltered Housing wardens
* Huge amounts spent on consultants who deliver nothing

Leader Mike Freer is now standing for Parliament. His former deputy Matthew Offord is also standing. The Tories cannot pretend that this is nothing to do with them.
