Another classic article in today's Sunday Telegraph. It's by Simon Heffer, our dear old friend who once said that smoking marijuana was an afront to society no worse than throwing acid in a person's face (it might even have been a child's face, but I doubt Simon makes much of a distinction). He believes that the Tories lost the 2001 election because 'they were afraid to campaign on issues perople really minded about'. Now to understand what he means here you have to realise that in Heffer's mind what people are concerned is the EU, and the EU, and the EU. Also lower taxes but mainly the EU. So the Tories lost the election by campaigning not enough on the EU. Of course they did.
