“..I don’t understand the Land Rover Discovery. It’s like torque and electricity and Peter Mandelson. We know it exists and we know what it does. But we can’t explain it very easily.

With Cameron increasingly presented by the MSM as Prime Minister in waiting we might be forgiven for supposing that this "Red Toryism" was something of a popular current, a spirit of the age .

Apologies for the lack of posts recently - I have had a virus all week. This has led to much sitting around and doing nothing, since when I tried to do something on Thursday I fainted. Well, actually, I felt dizzy and lay down on the kitchen floor for fifteen minutes. Sort of a controlled faint. After that, doing nothing some more seemed like a sterling plan.

It was interesting to note that, after all of the Sun newspapers protestations about Gordon Brown’s miss spelling of a war heroes name, they also managed to miss spell it in their own “low life” tabloid. Naturally their mistake was excusable and his was not. I wonder if they have ever heard of the word hypocrisy! Perhaps it is too long for the Sun and many of their readers. It is...
