In The Woodpile

Still they blather on about Cameron and “Swedish schools” or “Wisconsin welfare”. They almost deserve a Cameron Government just so that it could disappoint them so bitterly.

Except, of course, that they probably wouldn’t believe that it had happened. Just look at their ongoing insistence (in the absence of the slightest evidence, at least on their own side of the argument) about how Eurosceptical the Tories are. And just look at their continuing devotion to Margaret Thatcher, entirely regardless of her actual record in office.

But after last week’s outburst from Lord Dixon-Smith, they might consider what would have happened if such a thing had happened under Michael Howard, never mind William Hague or Iain Duncan Smith. But Cameron is immune, because the liberal media know that all the “achievements” of the Blair years are safe in his hands.

And they themselves have no dispute with his view that poverty is a moral fault on the part of the poor. They see themselves as on the Left purely and simply because they wish to destroy everything moral, social and constitutional that true conservatives exist in order to conserve. And he sees himself purely and simply because he is in favour of the “free” market, by far the most ruthlessly effective means to that destruction.
