Dave Has Gone All 'Libertarian'Again

“… so many people increasingly feel that the state is their enemy not their ally.”

David Cameron


I have never felt the State to be my ally, not while it is dipping in and out of my wallet, my company's wallet,money that could be better spent in expanding the business, training young people, investing in the future insteading of funding faux jobs in the public sector and a moutain of troughing MP's.

Can it only be nine months ago since Cameron stood up in front of the Tories and said I am not a Libertarian, pooh poohed 'The Plan' by Carswell and Hannan, in favour of caring sharing Conservatism, ie Tory MP's sharing our money with their Ducks,Mistresses, Wives, Secretaries, Boyfriends, not neccesarily in that order.


Destiny Dave is in a blue funk, his personal destiny to be PM is under threat by the backlash to come. How long this reforming zeal is going to last who can tell, on past performance with Blue/Green politics about six months.

The first red line he drew was his repudiation of Libertarianism. This was deeply welcome to all those Tories who detest Brown's leviathan state and the daily intrusions into our freedoms - but have long been concerned at the "libertarian" label being slapped onto the party of Queen and country, of service and traditional communities, by swivel-eyed ideologues* who are as hostile to true Toryism as are Marxists. Cameron reinforced this later when he said
"We are not an anti-state party."

Different to what he said a year earlier

What he said today was complete flim-flam, he believes in a strong State with him at the top of the pile.

* Thats us
