Tory Tory Tory

A BBC programme about the Thatcher revolution I saw today was a salutary reminder of how principles triumphed over cynical pragmatism in politics.I wonder if The Tory Cameron, the human oil slick was watching.

Just as NULabour is unravelling the wunderkind's scramble to the left is looking more and more ill judged and foolish.There be dragons to slay but torycameron seems intent on getting them on side, be they feminists or wacko green mist environ.mentalists,no act of oily vote grubbing is beneath him.

In this shallow chancer we see the very worst in the tory tradition of placemen:mediocrity,cynicism, amoral opportuniusm,pragmatism and short termism.A monument of mediocrity, he will rise without trace,doing alas, yet more harm to a party in very real danger of losing what is left of its soul.
