Capitalism is a dirty word

I couldnt really imagine him towing the party line.

Not with the current Tory party as they have been a little wishy-washy, but some of his articles on brown and his pension theft (£5b/year since '97) and his Spectator articles have been fairly abrasive with the "new" labour dynasty.

Yes, I saw that - hilarious! He's a top host and the audience applauded loudly whenever Hislop or Merton made inferences to Boris running for PM.

Nice glib comment from Dr Phil Hammond when referring to some afflicted celebrity "..well everyone has their problems, don't they Boris..."

I think Boris is one of those indirect promoters and edifiers of the Tory party: too close to the ministerial activity and he's a liability but on the media fringes he becomes very relatable to the general public.

Who else laughed at Boris Johnson's confession on HIGNFY that he'd almost taken cocaine, but had sneezed when he should have snorted...

I think if Cameron wins and is able to make maximum use of William Hague and Boris Johnson the Conservatives have a real chance to become the "feel good" option at the next election. If William Hague could be put opposite Gordon Brown, not only could he run rings round him in debates but the contrast of chirpy Hague versus dour Brown might make voters realise how depressing it would be to have Brown as Prime Minister. I'm not sure how to use Johnson. I can't see him in a serious shadow cabinet post. I suppose simply appearing as often as possible on HIGNY wearing a blue rosette should reap PR rewards.

Cameron:

What we need is less regulation, lower taxation, more private enterprise, more prisions, more police and crack cocaine available on every street corner. Ha ... you may snort, but I couldn't possibly comment.

May have something to do with the clown trying to placate Digby-Jones in an attempt to counteract another Tory front:-

It forms a key element in a "charm offensive" being mounted by the Prime Minister and Chancellor in separate addresses to the CBI over the next 36 hours. In between Tory Party leadership candidates, David Cameron and David Davis, will use their addresses to the conference to woo a business community equally critical about the Opposition's enthusiasm for business.

Growing disenchantment with policies and the performance of the Blair administration has strained relations between business and government and has seen Sir Digby Jones, the retiring CBI director general, emerge as leader of the "awkward squad."

He says he has never seen CBI members so angry on issues ranging from public sector pensions to stealth taxes, energy, transport and the new alliance with trade union paymasters.

Sir Digby last night welcomed the Chancellor's package. He said: "He's scrapping 80pc of the OFR measures and that's good news. I hope this represents the start of a change in the approach to business but if he's just throwing us a bone then he'll have gained nothing."
