A short thread on Tory rotter Cecil Parkinson, illustrating why the Conservative Party must be *destroyed* to save the country… (pic shows him with Mrs Fascister in 1983). 😖✊🇪🇺🇻🇳 #ToriesOut #cad #ToriesLie #COVID19 #Parkinson #rotter #ToryShambles

Parkinson was a chartered accountant, and made a pile of money from establishing Parkinson-Hart Securities in 1961. He then entered Parliament in 1970; a normal career path for a Tory obsessed with money & power… 🙄 #ToriesOut #greed #gross 🇪🇺🇻🇳

As is extremely well-known, Parkinson had an affair with Sara Keays, his secretary in Parliament. He resigned his Cabinet post in October 1983, when news of her pregnancy became public. 😐✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #hypocrites #liars #ToryShambles

Significantly, Thatcher had known for months: Parkinson resigned not because he had done something wrong, but because he had been found out by the press… 😠✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #crooks #liars #Parkinson #Sun #Thatcher

I have zero interest in policing the bedroom, and his fornicatory exertions are irrelevant to the rest of the world… EXCEPT when innocents get hurt… 😠#ToriesOut #rotter #hypocrisy #liar

This is where Parkinson’s behaviour was truly atrocious: Sara bore the child, named Flora, and he never ONCE went to see her. Shockingly, he went to his grave never having met his daughter. 😧 #rotter #ToriesOut #cad #appalling

Even when young Flora had major surgery to remove a brain tumour at just 4 yrs old, her father did not visit. He did not even send her birthday cards. 😳 #ToriesOut #rotter #Parkinson #awful

Parkinson paid child maintenance, but only because a court forced him to. Most unpleasantly, in his will he left nothing for Flora, despite being a wealthy man. [pic shows him with long-suffering wife, Anne] 😖✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #crooks #liars #ReleaseTheRussiaReport

Interviewed in The Mirror in 2017, this is what Sara Keays had to say about Flora being left out of Parkinson’s will:

In the same interview, we learned something new about Parkinson’s devout love of money… This doesn’t sound awfully legal… 😖✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #crooks #liars #ToriesOut

Here’s the full article from The Mirror, for more detail on his comprehensive awfulness:

Despite being a truly awful individual who HAD A DAUGHTER WHOM HE NEVER ONCE VISITED, Parkinson remained a Tory favourite. Thatcher brought him back into the Cabinet in 1987… 😖 #gross #ToriesOut #crooks

Most appallingly, he was sent to the House of Lords in 1992. This truly dreadful person was rewarded with the right to take part in deciding on the laws of this country for life… That’s not how things should work… 😠✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #ffs #DemocracyPlease

Further demonstrating that being a horrible person with no sense of responsibility is emphatically NOT an obstacle to becoming a top Tory, William Hague made Parkinson Chairman of the party in 1997… 😖✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #gross #revolting #liars #ToriesOut #ToriesKill

We shouldn’t really need it, but this is further evidence that ethics are absent in the Tory party, and especially so under the crooked Boris Johnson. 😖✊🇻🇳🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #gross #JohnsonMustGo

With the current Tory “government” clearly prioritising money over the health & wellbeing of the people during this pandemic, surely we’ve had enough of being ruled by greedy rotters like Parkinson & Johnson… 😠 #COVID19 @GeorgeMonbiot #resist 🦠

In order to save the country, our only option is therefore to destroy the Tory party at the polls. Please remember Parkinson’s horrible character when you’re next in a polling booth. 😖✊🇻🇳 #ToriesOut #resist #ToryShambles #liars
