Dave

We might not agree with all his policies, but I thought Dave C came accross v well on Desert Island Discs today.

Maybe he was just doing a v clever Tony, but I thought he seemed a good guy doing his best.

His family life, disabled kid, vegetable gardening, hearty meet eating, love of sing malt and anual holidays in Scotland all played well with me.

His Conservative principles of trusting people (ie individual responsibility) and the government doesnt have all the answers (ie small state) really seem to go in the right direction to me.

He resisited re branding as New Conservatives well.

Yeah, a triumph. Vote Tory and put not your trsut in princes.


Oh, and his music: REM, The Smiths, Radio Head, Dylan was all good - if ideologically problematic. And did the spin Drs tell him, "nothing classical, Dave"?
