Their Hatred of small people is not new

Michael Howard's belief that 'the people should be big' is so effective in portraying core Conservative values that is now the sub-heading of this blog. But this dismissal of small people is nothing new, but merely an interesting evolution of Conservative Party thought over the past 50 years. Churchilll's (a big man) 1945 manifesto stridently read,

"It will be a definite point in our policy to make certain that the problems of the small man receive special attention"

John Bercow's future must be in doubt.
