"How can you tell Dave Cameron’s lying? The same way you used to be able to with Tony Blair: when his lips move..."
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100057585/how-can-you-tell-dave-camerons-lying/
And there's lots, lots more:
There are no principles here; there is no thought-through ideological grounding. This is the pursuit of power for power’s sake, dressed in the garb of the ‘reasonable middle way’ and ’social justice’. Like the Blair project, it stinks. Like the Blair project, by the time it unravels Cameron will have gone, and some other poor Tory sod – a real one next time, let’s hope – will be left with the job Thatcher had to do after Ted Heath and clean up the Augean mess..."
Quite
And all as the Debt increases to the tune of a Billion pounds a week.

Where were all the new rules,regulations,
state help,state this,state that?
That my dear man is why it was a rip roaring
success and the left are running scared!
Who will vote for them if this is grabbed by the British and finally frees them from the state?
Help when needed,freedom to do things.
Only 'grey' people with 'grey'thoughts do not 'get this'.Oh and the majority of the media bods.
