Jeremy, Save the Pound
If, like myself, you read the Sunday Telegraph as your only Sunday newspaper, you learn to steel yourself for outbreaks of obnoxiousness. But even I wasn't ready for this.We know what this it. We've seen it before. And we know the decent majority of British people find it repugnant, for little William Hague tried it, and in the process destroyed his reputation forever.
Update: And what is the point of putting it in the Sunday Telegraph? How many readers of that newspaper a) aren't going to vote Tory and b) would vote Tory if they had a tougher immigration policy? Seven?
Update II: Some explanation for the move comes from The Times, which says that Michael Howard's personal election strategy advisor, Lynton Crosby, has told him he cannot win the next election, and his best hope is to secure his base and pick up 20-30 more seats. Crosby denies the story, but I suppose he would.
