Fancy A Chat With David Cameron?

Wow, a chat with David Cameron costs £250,000! Even for a big company that has got to be an expensive half-chance to get some policy enacted from which it will profit. The fact that access is being charged for is no surprise whatsoever. Has Cameron ever hidden his desire to be seen as Tony Blair Mk2?

New Labour debased politics and was (is) corrupt to the core. It was beyond satire that Mandelson was on Sky News deploring this scandal surrounding the Tories. He must have been annoyed in the same way Tesco is when people shop at Sainsbury's.

Ever able to assume everyone is as thick as the average Guardian reader, the politico's start talking about ending the funding scandal by giving the parties money from the taxpayer. How delighted do you think all of them would be with that? Not only do they never have to worry about funding again, they can take as much as they like and syphon off a goodly amount too, for a little 'social activity'.

Taxpayer funding of political parties must never happen. But if there was any actual penalty for wrongdoing amongst politicians, it would become a much cleaner profession very quickly. Just looked at how shocked (not to say outraged) were those who did have to serve the odd minute or two in prison. Fancy the people who set the law, having to live by it too! Bring back Tony Blair and the times when you knew that only Tory politicians could break the law.

There is talk of natural Conservatives, moderate people who wish their country to determine its own future, to offer opportunity to all and to reduce drastically the power and reach of government, deserting for UKIP. But as the current, Cameron led 'Conservative Party' may be breaching the Trades Descriptions Act, perhaps UKIP should just call themselves The Conservatives? Cameron could call his little coterie New Conservative, or just merge with New Labour and be done.
