Abeg commot the iroko from ya eye make you fit see where my eye dey jooo.



SENIOR Conservatives stepped up calls yesterday for David Cameron to ditch moves to legalise same-sex marriage.
They warned it was harming Tory election chances and urged him to focus instead on
key issues like the economy, immigration and bringing forward an EU referendum.

The plea came from Conservative Grassroots, a national network of officials and supporters who want a return to core Tory values.

It follows last week’s bruising county council elections, in which the Tories lost 335 council seats while the UK Independence Party surged.

Conservative Grassroots says the same-sex marriage policy is driving traditional Tory supporters to Ukip.
Chairman Robert Woollard said: “The Prime Minister needs to listen to voters and start acting like a Conservative.

“He is losing crucial votes and our membership base is falling rapidly, from 400,000 to 130,000.
The leaders of more than a million British ethnic minority churchgoers have joined forces to attack David Cameron's plans for gay marriage.
An alliance of pastors and elders which includes the leadership of the UK's biggest so-called "black majority" churches, rejects the Prime Minister’s claims to be acting in the interests of “equality” and “diversity” by redefining marriage.

They accuse the Conservatives of turning their backs on traditional values to satisfy the demands of a “white, liberal elite” while ignoring growing ethnic minority communities who might otherwise be part of their core vote.

In a joint letter to The Daily Telegraph they accuse the Government of having “no respect for democracy” and warn the Tories that the redefinition of marriage could cost them votes by rejecting “difference” and “a plural society”.

The letter, timed for the run-up to the local elections, represents a further blow to David Cameron’s attempts to attract ethnic minority support.

While speaking for some of the fastest growing churches in Britain, they also accuse the Coalition of basing its appeal to religious communities on the support of "tiny" faith groups such as the Unitarians and Quakers, who support gay marriage.
