Conservative Defeatism

It's amazing how demoralsied the Conservatives now are.They are Back to the Future circa 1970 where there was a thing called the 'consensus and all politicla parties had to genuflect towards it. Thatcher smashed that consensus but since her regicide by Heathite Tories in 1990 the dog has returned to its vomit;to mix metaphors the Tories are worshipping the Golden Calf of Consensus again. We cannot get out of the EU,we must redistribute wealth,we cannot cut taxes except to a derisory degree,we must perpetuate the Public services,we must be New Labour in drag blah ba ba. This moral bankruptcy masquerading as new realism is a counsel of despair,a cynical opportunist,craven abasement to the rotting carcas of Consensus.
