Surely it can only be a matter of time before the right wingers who've been lurking quietly beneath the waves while the lad has been strutting his stuff in the Arctic, making an idiot of himself on his bike and - worst of all - prematurely revealing policies - decide to move in and finish him off.<br><br>I'm getting a bit carried away with this metaphor, but it's easy to imagine Cameron standing at the salute as he sinks below the waves, hopefully surrounded by the rest of the Notting Hill set.<br><br>Also a bit sad, really. I don't want another Thatcherite Tory government, which is probably what we'll get if a. Brown screws up and b. the U Boat commanders have their way. Cameron's was an honest effort to reclaim the centre ground. On the other hand, the timing of the Rwandan trip does smell of incompetence and we can't be doing with incompetent Prime Ministers, can we?JerryCnoreply@blogger.com
