A Long Way From Thatcherism

Margaret Thatcher thought that trains were for losers. But today, a Transport Secretary who probably regards her as his heroine admits that only the rich can any longer afford to use them.

    What do you think of the new RightMinds site edited by Simon Heffer for the Daily Mail?

    It's interesting, but it could do with being more paleocon, as the Mail itself increasingly is.

    Alex Brummer's conservative critique of global capitalism is welcome, as is the inclusion of Peter Hitchens's blog. But where is Peter Oborne, or the Mail's own Stephen Glover, Peter McKay and Andrew Alexander? Where is Geoffrey Wheatcroft, or Stuart Reid, or John Laughland, or Freddy Gray, or Anthony Daniels/Theodore Dalrymple, to name but a few?

    The crowd around The American Conservative, and perhaps especially around its Post-Right blog currently in abeyance while it pursues other projects, would also have been a lot, lot, lot better than Nile Gardiner.
