Stephen Pollard's reality
It doesn't quite compare to his infamous outburst:The mainstream Left has demonstrated clearly which side of the battle to preserve Western civilisation and freedom it is on. The Left, in any recognisable form, is now the enemy.
(from his "Maida Vale Manifesto, still stuck on 3 or 5 signatures, depending on how you measure it)
but we get to learn a few more of his political views - he now declares that kids wearing hooded-tops are all bad, public sector workers do not deserve respect, private enterprise has all the answers to public-sector reform and globalisation never create losers.
Unsurprisingly it means he isn't very keen on the man who has been saying the opposite of these things, David Cameron.
As far as I'm concerned, that's a check list of what's wrong with the Cameron Conservative Party. Every single one of those sentiments is the exact opposite of reality
Yet only three months ago, to no-one's surprise, he was saying that Blairites should vote for Cameron.
So we have to turn instead to the only other possible champion: David Cameron. Call him the centre, call him the radical centre, call him right of centre; call him whatever you want. All that matters is that we must have a government both committed to and capable of implementing reforms.
How do we square the circle? It's the British public's fault!
[T]the electoral need for Cameron to mouth them is the perfect demonstration of what's wrong - and getting worse - about Britain.
