SCOTTISH TORIES

Dear all,

I write to you as the Scottish Conservative MPs. Although it is highly unusual for a sitting party to vote against its own Queen’s Speech, I invite you all to at the least abstain from this vote which disproportionately and unfairly funds another of the nations of this country, inevitably at the expense of your nation. As Conservatives, I am sure that you believe in equality of opportunity across the nations and whilst this investment may be a necessary one, we each know that it is not being done as part of a program supporting regions in England, Scotland or Wales that need assistance so that people can then prosper and pursue their ambitions. As the people of Scotland, you are no doubt more aware than the English of the dangers of sectarianism and the risks thus of destabilising the Northern Irish peace process. 

Yours respectfully

Dear all,

I write to you as according to Pink News, you are all LGBT MPs representing the Conservative Party.  Although it is highly unusual for a sitting party to vote against its own Queen’s Speech, I invite you all to at the least abstain from this vote which gives great political legitimacy and influence to a group intensely hostile to all LGBT people, both in Northern Ireland but also the UK and the rest of the world. We are all aware of the horrendous comments that have been made by the MPs, MLAs and councillors representing the DUP, from the 70s until the present day. We are all aware of the shocking ignorance around AIDS as well as the utter misunderstanding of real psychological research showing no difference between heterosexual and LGBT parents. There are assurances that their hardline and regressive policies will only be confined to one corner of our nation, an injustice in itself. However, the impact on LGBT people in this country, and the emboldening of homophobes and transphobes anywhere when the government of this significant and influential nation openly allies with such a group, cannot be ignored. Please vote with your consciences, your identities and not your party, this week.
