Tory Tweedledee and Tweedledumber Part Two

Much talk about 'compassionate conservativism' which I find truly insulting.The inference being that if you are conservative you are uncaring when the exact opposite is true.Might just as well talk of 'compassionate kindness' or generous charity'. 'Compassionate conservativsm' is a tautology and just one more indication of how the right has sold itself short,is suffering from a collective loss of nerve,has spent too many nights poring over Guardian articles about uncaring consertvativism and listening to too many BBC Guardianista journalists instead of harking to its own base core values of conservativsm that require no apology but rather an insistent and proud championing.
