"Lord Tebbit, former party chairman, compared Mr Cameron's "purge" of Thatcherism to the actions of Pol Pot."
Even more amusingly Robin Harris a speech writer for Thatcher is quoted as saying "There are good reasons why every Tory leader since Margaret Thatcher has started by proclaiming the party's transformation into something kinder, gentler and more leftwing - and then conducted a sharp rightward turn."
Hmmm fascinating. I guess Mr Harris struggles to find the flaw in his argument - namely the thrashing the Tories have received at the last three general elections.
The article then goes on to say that his (Camerons) fate will depend on progress in the polls and performance at the May local elections. I know we are all used to regular changes of Tory leader but I am amazed that the press (albeit The Guardian) are talking about his fate as leader so soon after he was elected. Ho hum. Happy Days

Dave, Nice but Knave hits back:

Yes, all the old endorphins come flooding back! A fascinating comment from Dave, Nice but Knave: "we aren't abandoning our values of hating change and hating the poor". A absolute Classic! I will send it to the Liberal Democrat News "People" column.
Is Dave Nice but Knave ironic? Oh dear I missed that. Must be getting old.
