The Beginning and The End

Ah, the faces around and behind David Cameron. They'd been in the City all morning, as every morning.

Could it be that the City will now relate to the Tories as the unions do to New Labour, only there to pay the bills and take endless abuse in return?

And is there anyone still arguing that capitalism is conservative, when saving it now requires a co-ordinated interest rate cut at exactly the same time right across Europe and America? So much for national sovereignty. Even, if you can bring yourself to believe this next bit, in Switzerland.

As for when the "age of irresponsibility" started, as asked by some caricature of a Tory MP, Dennis Skinner was not quite right to shout out "1979". In fact, it can be dated precisely to 27th October 1986.

So much for when the rot started. Who would end it?

We would.

    I do hope so.

    Isn't it lovely to see Cameron squirm as he's forced to renege on his promise not to bash the bankers?

  2. They might yet bash him, though.
