Word reaches Tory Bear of a very exciting new Conservative Future Social Action project!
Social Action Officer Arabella Bonaparte got in touch to say...
"Just wanted to tell you about a social action project we are currently involved with - WE LOVE BAGHDAD”. The party are helping local residents in their community make a difference by listening, seeing and learning. In the past, social action projects have taken the form of a 4 day volunteer scheme during conference dates. But not this year. This year, we are approaching the project from a whole new angle. It has to be about teamwork, cooperation and most importantly the community.
The task is simple: to transform the city using a bottom up approach through working with the local community, local charities and local entrepreneurs. Baghdad h
as been devastated by the war but everything is going to be ok now that CF are pretending to care. We will be painting fences and planting flowers etc! It’s social changes as well and will go under the skin to find the roots of the problems and potentially find solutions. It's for projects like this that I think I first got involved with Social Action for. There's a great something that can be said about going in to communities and working with them. It's more than just words on leaflets. It's something more - you meet people, you make a difference and you go away feeling you have made life better even just for one person. And this is where you guys come in… we need to build up city destroyed by devastating conflict.
And so I am asking you…
Are you free in August?
Do you want to be a part of this first stage in WE LOVE BAGHDAD?
Can you travel to Baghdad?
Are you fully trained in urban combat?
Do you want to do your bit for Social Action?If yes, come be a part of the already existing team working hard to bring positive changes in
Iraq. It will be hard work, you will potentially get covered in dirt , you might even die, but it will be fun, you will meet lovely people and we will put on some lunches as a thank you for your trouble.”
TB understands that all those who travel to Baghdad will receive champagne at Conference.

Excellent!! One of the funniest blog posts I have seen...well ever actually!!

@17.41
Is that you Arabella?
haha I pity whoever ABB chooses to run crying to about this. moan moan moan boohoo.
Fucking hilarious - top marks TB
Finally someone who is openly up for having a laugh about our fluffy social action projects!
ha ha I have been wondering about CF wanting to shout "I hate social action" for quite some time.
Sigh...
It is funny, but does this kind of joke have to be on a public blog... where everyone can read it, friend or foe... Some things should be kept as a joke in private.
This is exactly the kind of immature post that makes the hard work of chaging public perceptions of the Party even more difficult.
it's the uptight people commenting on here that the joke is on.
chill out... like hell you had anything to do with rebranding or changing the party. you just do as your told and spout the same line while thinking you are a significant cog in the machine.
jump hack. jump...
sit... siiiit.
good boy.
AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
But who will look after the goats if social action moves to Baghdad?
Does this blog have the highest proportion of anonymous comments of any blog? I wonder why that is? Maybe it's because we're not all as eminently stupid and stuck up as Richard Holloway who clearly feels the need to sound like an exasperated grown up telling children off and he wants us all to know it was him who did it.
Be nice to each other kids...
21.55 - the goats are coming to Baghdad where they will be repenned.
I understand that not a single prominent CFer took part in the Conservative Party's social action project in Rwanda this summer. Why didn't CF/the CF NME promote it in any way?
