Tory candidate for Mayor of London Zac Goldsmith launched a campaign today at an event hosted by an infamous political think-tank called Policy Exchange.
An interesting choice of host.
Because Policy Exchange thinks the NHS should be privatised:
“We believe that both private sector companies and third sector providers can play a key role in delivering what patients want from a modern National Health Service”
And Policy Exchange thinks social housing should be sold off to developers:
Ending Expensive Social Tenancies
Policy Exchange also once produced an infamous report which tried to demonise Muslims – but which later had to be retracted because a BBC Newsnight investigation showed it had used fabricated evidence.
Nice of Goldsmith to let London voters know what he really thinks about the NHS, social housing and London’s multi-cultural heritage.

He’s a tory and he’s rich, that is all that matters to him – he doesn’t live in the real world and shouldn’t even be a candidate for the Mayor – none of them should be.
A mayoral position should go to someone who has lived a real life and given a lot to the community, and ordinary person with common sense who has not been brought up thinking money is the be all and end all of everything!

Why is this a surprise? All Tory MPs and most Labour MPs are ideologically committed to a privatised NHS.

The Tory party would privatise everything if it could. In the USA for example 70% of domestic security surveillance is outsourced to private companies even uder the Obama administration
