Who are YBF?

I have been reading about the Young Britons Foundation, they are young conservative right wingers focussed on power and success, not a social concern in sight. Tory MPs like Pickles are happy to support them and they think of themselves as political activists, your basic career politicians. I have concerns about this type of fundamentalism whatever is form, any kind of rigid self belief that has no room for debate is worrying, especially if those who subscribe to it end up in positions of authority.

  1. What is so scary is about these people is they appear to be very anti NHS and yet several Tories have endorsed them. I don't see how the NHS can be safe in Tory hands when this is so.
    But Labour has PFI'd the NHS into debts that the young will be paying for for decades to come.
    The Green Party seem to have what I think is fair for the NHS, free for everyone, whenever they need it, forever. That is worth fighting for.
