What a dismal day. Apparently it's a year since young Mr. Cameron triumphantly ascended into the leadership of the Tory party. There's a fawning article by Nicholas Boles in the Telegraph telling us what a joyous occasion this is:

"Mr Cameron's biggest achievement in the past year has been to show the British people that he shares their views and their values on the biggest issues confronting Britain".

Which explains why he is actually behind the Labour Party in the opinion polls, presumably.

"When he declared that his number one priority would be the NHS, he was articulating one of the deepest instincts of most British people — and speaking for everyone who has relied on the NHS at a time of desperate need.
The British people see no reason to give up on a system of healthcare that is funded out of taxation and free to the user. They believe that the failings of the NHS justify reform, not revolution".

I wonder if this is true. If it is, then the deepest instinct of most British people are not only wrong, but certifiably so. They ought to be getting lobotomies - all on the NHS of course - rather than be allowed to carry on voting. If the NHS is the number one priority - ahead of terrorism, murder, and the rising tide of everything, then the public clearly are scum, and need to be treated as so, not cowtowed to. Ye gods. Moreover, I don't think I know anyone who doesn't think it should stay free and not be subject to revolutionary change. A dollop of cash and nice Mr. Cameron grinning like a gibbon ain't going to save it. Even the most diehard socialist I know admits the game is up. It's change or die, guys.
In any case, apparently the NHS isn't our number one priority, anyway. Apparently it's schools.

"Mr Cameron needs to make it the Conservative Party's overriding mission to give the poorest families an alternative to failing schools and to encourage the best teachers in Britain to offer their inspiration to the children who need it most".

Well while nice Mr. Boles tries to figure out what constitutes a "number one priority", and what is "our overriding mission", and which is superior, I would like to suggest that it's over, already. Gordon Brown is a busted flush. Totally useless, and we know he's useless. Yet Cameron is even worse. When Brown takes over as Prime Minister, Charles Clarke and the horde of embittered failures will bite their tongues, Cameron will fall fifteen points behind in the polls and the whole Green Tory revolution will die. Good.
Look, the biggest delusion in all this that it's only us reactionaries who despise Cameron. Not so. It's the New Labour supporters who liked him when he first appeared who despise him even more. He's hectoring, righteous, and patronising, and it's so obvious that he's making it up as he's gone along. They're the ones who have abandoned him, not the True Blues.
If I were a Tory MP I'd be busy writing my letter of complaint to my constituency chairman. IDS was never this bad.
