Tories delete speeches from website

[Llamaman]

Yup, the Tories have deleted the archive of their speeches from 2000-2010.

What makes this amusing is that those speeches included Cameron saying - several times - that the internet would make politicians more accountable by making information easily available.

Draw your own conclusions.

Wasn't this ages ago, or have there been others recently?

Oops, didn't check the date. Sorry.

Might as well close this thread, Mods.

Nah, it's ok, I just wondered if Cameron/Tories were at it again. Maybe trying to deny he ever said he wouldn't cut benefits or summat.

Or that there were 70,000 moderates in Syria.
Chilcot is clearing his diary...

Such a cynical lot. Next you,ll be suggesting the government are hoping the oil price goes up as if it had a will of its own and rescue a financial crisis of their making

As just some easy resources. People may try, but it is nearly impossible to delete your tracks from the internet....
