Cameron and Catholicism

Well he may not have converted like Tony Blair but he did visit and speak at a Catholic Church in Glasgow East. Cameron was there in order to campaign in the byelection and of course to take a whole lot of the southern press pack to Glasgow East to show them and therefore the country just how badly Labour have messed up over the last 30 years. It is a deprived hellhole Labour created and have done nothing to solve. The former Labour MP should be ashamed of himself. I truly hope he is. 30 years an MP and bugger all change to show for it.

Some have seen the Catholic angle as a bit much. Obviously there is a lot of history in Glasgow between Catholics and Protestants and it still simmers today although in different forms.

Most people in Glasgow East are Catholics and they have always voted Labour over the last century. Well that could just change and I see no problem with the Church visit.

I do see a problem for Labour in Glasgow East. It would be incredible if they lost to the SNP but a week after the prospect of defeat arose, Labour have failed to go on the attack. Infact they have suffered a "lost weekend" while trying to find a candidate. Thank god they have managed to persuade their fourth or fifth choice to stand!

Its being called the broken society by-election by the Tories. Not a bad title unless you live in the constituency. Its not going to win any new votes but then I don't suppose the Tories care. highlighting Labour pain is enough, the SNP can take the glory on this. Not good for the Union though.
