		<description>Dr. Sarah Wollaston, the high-profile Conservative candidate for Totnes, is censoring comments on her website and refusing to answer voters&#039; questions. Our questions involve an internal Tory report on Poland&#039;s homophobic and racist Law &amp; Justice party that was never released and denied by the party. Edward McMillian-Scott MEP, who challenged the Tory alignment, was expelled from the party without notice or reason. 

The Tory alliance with Law and Justice is an issue of substance and widespread concern. Law and Justice are one of the grouping of far-right parties - described as &quot;nutters&quot; by Nick Clegg in the TV debate of Thursday 22.4.10 - that David Cameron has joined in Europe. We demand that Dr. Sarah re-instates all deleted comments immediately, publicly apologises for suppressing legitimate debate, and answers these questions: 

1. Why was the internal investigation into the Conservative party&#039;s alignment with Law and Justice launched? 
2. Why was the investigation covered up? 
3. Why was Edward McMillian-Scott MEP expelled from the party without notice or reason? 

In recent days nine comments have been removed from Dr. Sarah&#039;s chatmap, including the following:

&quot;Could we see the links to the aforementioned blog please so that we can decide for ourselves whether it is offensive? I ask this because I have observed two very reasonable comments being deleted from this thread today - both of which were requesting clarification on very specific points, and ought to have been fairly straightforward to deal with.&quot;

Visit http://www.drsarah.org.uk/chatmap. Demand that Dr. Sarah stops the censorship, stops attacking our rights and answers the questions.
