Some more quotes from internet land......they may be a bit older but seem to suggest some interesting traits and opinions! More of the background to this person.
CABINET enforcer Mo Mowlam today names and shames her "dirty dozen" of top Tory right-wingers.
She has compiled a damning dossier on Tory leader William Hague's 12 favourite new election candidates.
And she slams their extremist views on race, gun control and AIDS.
She said: "If you thought the shadow Cabinet was extreme, then think again.
"Take a look at their prospective Parliamentary candidates - narrow-minded little Englanders who want to shut Britain off from the rest of Europe.
"These people are the Conservative frontline for the next election. Many hold extreme, right-wing views."
She accused the 12 of trying to hijack the party.
And she added: "Their right-wing policies would divide the country.
"The vast majority of British people do not share their views. They do not share their prejudices. They do not share their politics. Under William Hague the Conservative Party is moving further to the right than ever before."
The 12 are:
*Albie Fox
Seat: Ynys Mon
Summary: Gun enthusiast who campaigned against the ban on handguns following the Dunblane school massacre.
Albie Fox for the Conservatives, an aspiring AM, had had just two weeks to get to grips with Conservative forestry policy. This includes increasing Welsh forest cover from the current 14% “to match the European average” (around 33%), and using woodlands as, “a backdrop for wind power”. He quickly realised he was out of his depth, so threw away his notes and made a poignant speech about the need to listen to “you guys on the factory floor”.
