oh, by the way

...looking back at my earlier posts at the fall of the house of Blair (which I stand by, even if it's months & counting) and the re-rising of the tory party I feel the need to slightly retract. The excitement linked to Cameron's relaunching has pretty much faded or at least transformed into a dull fear.

I know a number of conservative MPs, new & old, who's thoughtfulness, understanding and work ethic deeply impresses me, no matter what I think of their opinions. The more I see of the shadow cabinet the more I start to think of them as a bunch of arrogant, snide & shallow powergrabbers who care more about point scoring than policies. The hypocrisy is rather sickening but the lack of understanding is worse.
