""And where they can save money from economies (economies already built into New Labour plans) they plan to use it to fund tax cuts for industry (well NI cuts for those earning over £20,000 and upwards, to benefit the rich owners of industry).""

Richard, I know you have a sharper mind than that.

1. £20000 is barely into the middle class salary range, and people living on that money are stretched to cope.

2. The reversal does not apply to the rich, who will still have to pay the increase.

3. If Brown can find 11 Billion in "efficiency" savings, why is it unlikely that Cameron can find 6 Billion.

As for your wish for Thatcher, nobody deserves that, and the fact that you insist on it says more about you than about her.

If what you say about her were totally true (which it isn't), what makes you any better, if you don't have any more human feeling than you attribute to her.

When I listen to you, a lawyer, spouting that kind of bile, I am forced to the conclusion that were you ever in a position of power, you would be worse than Danton and Robespierre.

Worse because anybody earning more than fifteen thousand a year seems to fit your peculiar concept of an Old Etonian Aristo.

For those who want to pigeon hole me as a true blue, can't see past the veneer, Cameron enthusiast, I refer you to my earlier post.

I said clearly, and I meant it, that if there ever actually were a socialist Labour Party, I would consider voting for it.

There being no such choice, I prefer the real Conservatives to Mr Bean and his "Smoke and Mirrors Theatre of the Absurd".

I judge Cameron, at least in part, by the number of old school Tories and ex Thatcherites who are pissed of with him.
