No wonder they needed a ``Gagging Law``
Tories 'deleted pre-2010 broken promises from party website'
All evidence of commitments made between 2000 and 2010 have disappeared from ahead of re-launch
The Conservatives have been accused of trying to erase from the internet 10 years of speeches, press releases and announcements the party made when it was trying to win power from Labour.
All evidence of the party's promises and commitments made between 2000 and 2010 have disappeared from the Tories' website.
It is bound to fuel suspicions that the Tories are attempting to make it difficult for Labour and journalists to hold the party to account for pledges ahead of 2015.
Among the speeches no longer available are those in which David Cameron and George Osborne pledged not to re-organise the NHS, to support Labour spending plans if they won power and ironically to ensure "near-total transparency of the political and governing elite".
However, the party categorically denied earlier claims that it had also tried to prevent the content being accessed by search engines.
It said the information was still searchable but just not visible on the main site.
The missing speeches were first uncovered by the magazine Computer Weekly, which said it had taken a snap shot of the Conservative site at the start of October but then had been prevented from doing a similar exercise this month.
In a blog the magazine claimed the effect of the move was as "alarming as sending Men in Black to strip history books from a public library and burn them in the car park".
Labour claimed that it was an attempt by the party to "hide from their own broken promises and failed policy".
"Rather than owning up to the mess they're making of the economy and fixing it, they are pretending it hasn't happened," said Sheila Gilmore MP.
"It will take more than David Cameron pressing 'Delete' to make people forget about his broken promises."

Hospital A&Es swamped by 500,000 elderly victims of neglect
CQC said their findings suggested that some GPs, care homes and community health services were failing to treat vulnerable people 'in the way they deserve'
Half a million elderly people a year are being unnecessarily admitted to hospital as emergency patients because of stark failings in community care, an official Government report has warned.
The review, into NHS and social care services in England, found almost one in 10 over 75s had been taken to hospital with avoidable conditions - a rise of over 20 per cent in just five years.
The Care Quality Commission, which carried out the analysis, said their findings suggested that some GPs, care homes and community health services were failing to treat vulnerable people "in the way they deserve".
Inspectors found safety concerns in one in five nursing homes. Problems included failing to give out medicines safely, not carrying out risk assessments and understaffing. The report also identified a link between high staff turnover and number of reported deaths of residents

I doubt many of the elderly will be "victims of neglect" as many will come from a loving background but just happen at the time to be ill.
Such emotive words are so annoying, I suspect most of us that are elderly on this forum would hate being described in such a way if we were suddenly rushed into A&E.

As NHS having a huge deal .. i thought it needs to implode first.
There is always something unexpected coming along
Lets hope they not copying the americans with their health system that be a step backwards.
