This gay affair over same-sex marriages is just an excuse for a Tory divorce

/li> 0 shares End game: David Cameron is planning ahead as he knows that the Tories will likely lose the nest General Election

Why is David Cameron so keen to trample on his own party and its most loyal supporters?

It is a gripping mystery, but as usual the political experts of the BBC and the grand papers have not noticed it, because they are interested in gossip rather than in the future of the country.

So I will explain to you why the House of Commons was forced to pass a completely pointless Bill on Tuesday.

It was pointless because – as Jacqui Smith made clear back in 2004 when she pushed them through Parliament – civil partnerships are legally identical to same-sex marriage anyway.

Same-sex marriage was mysteriously absent from the manifestos of any main party. Even those it was aimed it – 0.2 per cent of the population – do not seem particularly bothered.

What you have to grasp is that Mr Slippery did this precisely because it would wind up the remaining conservatives in the Tory Party. He is measuring them for the drop.

He knows that, without a miracle, the Tories will lose the next General Election. He, and the liberal coterie who created him out of nothing, are planning ahead for the battle for control of that party which will then take place.

The MPs who voted against same-sex marriage will be scornfully told that the defeat was their fault.

Mr Slippery and his media choir will say, again and again, that if only these pinstriped dinosaurs had ‘embraced the modern world’ and ‘got on the right side of history’, the Tories would have won.

This is rubbish, of course, but if you repeat rubbish often enough and loud enough, most people will come to believe it, or how could Anthony Blair have become, and remained, Prime Minister?

Passed: The Commons voted in favour of same-sex weddings by 400 votes to 175, a majority of 225

Prime Minister David Cameron expressed his views on gay marriage on Twitter after the vote

The rebels will either be cowed into conformity, or deselected and replaced by another wave of equality and diversity fanatics, indistinguishable from New Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

And so the process will be complete. All three parties will be exactly the same. It began with the putsch against Margaret Thatcher in the autumn of 1990 and continued with the putsch against Iain Duncan Smith in 2003 and the skilful destruction of David Davis in 2005.

Most significant changes in modern British politics do not happen at General Elections, which are more or less rigged in advance by pollsters and the media. They happen in internal party struggles over which we have no control at all. An alliance of liberal, pro-EU political and media figures has worked relentlessly to remove everything that was conservative from the Tory Party.

That party’s only function is to be a safety valve for the anger of the remaining voters who have not been reconciled to Left-wing rule. Every few years they can go through the motions of protesting. Eventually, wholly deprived of a voice in Parliament, excluded from the BBC, they will be browbeaten into silence and total defeat. I am sorry. I wish it were not true. But those who ignored my warnings against Mr Cameron, and foolishly voted Tory in 2010, have only themselves to blame for what is now happening.

Flexibility... it's a liberal strong point

I’ve no doubt that, among friends, Vicky Pryce is polite and enlightened about lesbianism, bisexuals etc, etc. But that didn’t stop her referring to her husband’s sexually flexible companion, Carina Trimingham, as a ‘****ing man’.

This reminded me of a jolly song from the Sixties, called Love Me, I’m A Liberal. Its author, the American Phil Ochs, said of such liberals that they were ‘ten degrees to the left of centre in good times, ten degrees to the right of centre when it affects me personally’.

All those who like to claim (usually in a self-serving way) that marital break-up does no harm to the children, especially once they’re grown up, might like to study the texts Peter Huhne sent to his father. I suspect this hellish denunciation will be even worse for Chris Huhne than prison.

Hitchcock, a 'genius' who sold us poison

What a strange film they have made about Alfred Hitchcock. It manages to make the late Fifties look rather wonderful, by spending a lot of money on clothes, cars and furniture, and dolling up Scarlett Johansson as a siren from that era, which suits her.

But it also rejoices in Hitchcock’s determination to destroy the calm of that age by smashing taboos about sex and violence, in his creepy film Psycho, based on an extraordinarily nasty book about a nauseating criminal.

Audiences were scared, thrilled and shocked by it, which made Hitchcock rich and proud, but poison of this kind, once it gets into the public mind, is hard to get out again.

All dolled up: Scarlett Johansson playing a convincing siren in the new film about director Alfred Hitchcock

So it's MY fault if I’m mugged?

When did the police become such defeatists in the face of crime? They walk into people’s houses to tell them off for not locking their doors. They advise us not to leave anything in cars. They make station announcements telling us ‘not to become victims of crime’. But they’re far more interested in investigating ancient claims of paedophilia (especially if celebrities are involved) than in patrolling the streets preventing crime.

Now, the supposedly mighty Metropolitan force has decked London with posters urging us to see the world from the point of view of a thief. ‘Thieves see your possessions differently, take care when they’re on show,’ they say.

Why should I? Why should we continue to pay a police force that spends our money telling us we’re on our own? If they can’t deter muggers, what are they for?

What I liked about The Troggs, whose lead ‘singer’ Reg Presley died last week, was that they were so obviously, shamelessly awful. Nobody, however pretentious, has ever dared suggest that they were comparable to Schubert and Bach. But, honestly, is there much difference between Wild Thing and I Want To Hold Your Hand? Personally, I prefer Wild Thing.

The Blair creature appears in a black shirt and a gold chain. What does he think he is? The bomber of Belgrade and Baghdad, and the man who let in the biggest wave of immigration in our history, never understood what was actually going on. If he did, he’d be in hiding. He wanted to be a rock star, but failed. He wanted to be a lawyer, and failed at that too. So he chose politics, the only trade where failure is rewarded with riches and praise.

All Tory promises of change for the better are fakes. I told you on June 24 that the return of O-levels was ‘as likely as the return of the sabre-toothed tiger’. Now see how long it takes for Chris Grayling’s promise of tougher prisons to disappear without trace.
