A call to arms from St. Paul
Cameron should heed St. Paul, not his advisers
If Cameron is to win, he cannot equivocate
With our overstretched army bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan, violent crime on the streets out of control, a run on a high street bank, teachers assaulted in their classrooms, bullying by pupils over the internet, illiteracy growing, the NHS shambles in which young British doctors are left jobless while thousands of foreigners are imported to take their jobs, house prices soaring way beyond the reach of ordinary families, even the Commission for Racial Equality admitting that uncontrolled immigration and multiculturalism — those totems of New Labour — are threatening the stability of society, there should be a spring in David Cameron’s feet as he pedals north to Blackpool.
Surely he must deserve to be 20 points ahead of that dull, uninspiring Brown — a man with no charisma and a record of imprudent borrowing and spending to put Northern Rock’s mild profligacy in the shade — a man tainted by his association with the Blair regime.
