William Waldegrave Is An Idiot
So a Tory comes on the Today programme and warns against fetishising the free market.He appeals to a mystical Burkean tradition which involves (apparently) worshipping the unborn and the dead who comprise past and present voters - (don't follow me,I am lost too!)- and herein he claims, is the tory heritage of conjoining State and Market in some mushy embrace - and this is the essence of toryism.Well I guess this worship of the mixed economy is now the offical State religion and what a great record of success it is.Where is this mythical fetishinsing of the market anyway?Is Mr Waldegrave living in some other place,does he go round with blinkers on?I believe he is the standard Tory representing its prevailing 'philosophy' and if so it explains why when searching for a party that upholds freedom and liberty and Capitalism the Conservative party should be the very last place anyone should look.
