| I think steering the economy reasonably successfully for ten years, even if it was set fair a decade to go, can't be described as failure. But that would require a degree of balance that Giles finds impossible - as shown by the way he used Stalin in his post headline although he has now retracted the analogy. Its like comparing someone to Hitler then weasling out of it by saying someone else had said it. Incidentally, Cameron was an 'advisor' to that truly successful Chancellor Norman Lamont. A further sign of his admirable track record to set beside Brown's 'failures'. And I heard yesterday that Cameron was trying to back away from an earlier attempt at a 'Clause IV moment' - Hug a Hoodie. He claimed he never said it - or taking a leaf from his spinmeister Blair's book of legal get outs, he said he never said he used 'those three words'. Yet what he actually said could reasonably be interpreted in a tabloid way as precisely that - and I don't remember he and his spinning chums complaining at the time. How long before he denies Willetts never said grammar schools are bad for society, before again trying to insult 'Old Tories' in a different way to prove he now leads the 'New Conservatives'? |
