Do you honestly think that Dave is going to be outside Witney town hall after the next election??
Gordon Brown is just an inept, demented twat.

Old Conservatism; we're going to reduce your benefits because you're a lazy little tulip and we hate you, and we're going to close your hospital because we can; we're on BUPA
Newfangled Compassionate Conservatism; we're going to stimulate you to make a success of your life by reducing your dependence on state benefits so you will be encouraged to go and get a McJob, and we will encourage you to maintain a healthy lifestyle by rationalising the health service and removing unnecessary expenditureAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

David Cameron is my MP. Have met him on a couple of occasions and he strikes me as a nice, ordinary (if rich) fellow. He will sometimes stand on a soapbox outside Witney Town Hall and speak, impromptu, on some local issue or other to the passers by.

As for the Civil Service, every government, Labour and Tory talk tough about this but never do. Thatcher was the real inventor of Quangos, for example.

Whatever happened to Timberwolf, I wonder.
His last post was in 2012, nothing dramatic, but since then he's disappeared never to be seen on CUK again.
