I don't think Michael Howard has been doing much original thinking.
All this hate-the-immigrants and liar -liar stuff comes directly from Lynton Crosby and that pollster bloke Textor or whatever he's called.
Although I think you can call someone in Australia a lying scumbag and get away with it, it doesn't seem to be playing too well over here.
We in the Conservative party, in our quest for a new Margaret Thatcher, have been overlooking all our best politicians on the grounds that they do not hate the French and Germans enough. Why Chris Patten was never the leader is very frustrating to those of us in the not-nasty wing.
Unless something strange happens, Michael Howard will be asked to crawl away and we'll get another leadership contest. This Cameron bloke sounds OK to my mates and me but don't tell the right or he'll get screwed also.
