Chatting to Some Tories About David Cameron's Big Conference Speech
At the end of David Cameron's speech to this year's Conservative party conference, he read out a letter sent to him from one Bernard from Leicester, in which the 82-year-old laments that "in my life I have foolishly voted Labour, believing it served the working class. How wrong I was. Labour is against all I aspire to." Cameron's entire speech was a calculated attempt to snap up people like Bernard from Leicester into his greasily pantophagous jaws, jaws that for over an hour gurgled happily about doing ill-defined somethings about climate change, being pleasant to The Gays, and getting rid of all the pesky poverty that sometimes happens to other people. The message was clear: with Labour under Corbyn briefly turning itself into one of those autonomous soviet republics that briefly mushroomed up across Europe around 1920, the Tories have claimed the middle ground of British politics.
