The Tories’ blogging woes go from bad to worse.

Just as the cache of Ben Bradley’s anti-working class vitriol is exhausted, the online outbursts of another young Tory politician have surfaced.

This time they concern the views of the party’s candidate for a council by-election in East Brighton next month – called after the sitting Labour councillor, Russell Lloyd Moyle, took the Brighton Kemptown seat from the Tories at the general election.

The Brighton Independent newspaper revealed 21-year old Edward Wilson penned an article last March headlined: “In the Defence of Enoch Powell – Why he was right on immigration.”

Wilson, who’s is touting himself as a “compassionate Conservative” in a bid to win over the lefty locals, wrote:

“The original Rivers of Blood speech was one of controversy, but, it is clear that the threat Enoch warned us about, has become a nightmare we’re currently living in. Britain has been gradually deteriorating through the sheer volume of immigrants over recent years. “What started as a river has now turned into a flood. Like all floods it has left economic ruin in its wake and failures of integration have forced upon Britain a watering down of culture, tradition and language that has made many parts of the country unrecognizable.”

The politics student admitted writing the article for the blog of Sussex University’s ‘Liberate the Debate’ society, but insisted he did so to “encourage debate” within the group.

He told the Brighton Independent:

“As you will know this is a speech which caused great controversy and upset. I do not and never have supported the views of Enoch Powell. I simply believed at the time this would be a way to encourage debate on the topic of immigration, as this is a highly-charged topic throughout the nation.”

Wilson declared his ambition to follow in Enoch’s footsteps and become a Tory MP in a recent interview.

This won’t do him any harm if the party’s response to Ben Bradley’s blogging is anything to go by…
