Sometimes It's The Price Of Liberty!

After Oliver Letwind let one go over 'poverty' and poverty redistribution, the Conservative(Parliamentary) Party has decided to sign up Robert Geldof as it's 'world' policy planner.This is not a physical or political world-this is the world of 'global' issues, and they are seeking to appear to be engaging with the mob of protestor-globalist-savages through the person of a scruffy, miserable old git.

I wouldn't touch them with a barge-pole.
Either the 'Icon' or the 'Policy Group'.
Welcome to the New Conservatives, the fag-end answer to New Labour.

"Oh if only we can reach power, we will change things; it just means we have to tell a few lies at the moment."

I've seen the real face of politics at a local level, and people are polite but they are definitely enemies who give no quarter except under wincing stress from head office.
But these people are not in charge and haven't been since the early eighties.
Today we have a stomach-turning, spineless mob of power-chasers, who buy their politics like they buy a tie.
And all that they will 'win' is more and more control in ever more vicious ways of fewer and fewer real things, and evermore resentful people.
