The mask that slipped

It seems Mr Cameron only has to leave his post for a few hours for the Tory mask to slip. In the last couple of days we’ve seen the Tory party announce it plans to help fight the recession by re-introducing fox-hunting, and is now in complete disarray over public sector pay. Mr Osborne hinted menacingly that 3 year deals for nurses, teachers and police would be torn-up. Then ‘senior party chiefs’ recanted. We can only guess at the true position. The Independent has a good write-up. Meanwhile, in Birmingham, Tory councillors have attacked the idea that the council might support the magificient LDV by buying their vans, calling the idea “illegal, socialist and protectionist”. You don’t have to look far or wait long to see the true colours….
