Once I got to the point, in an article about conservative thinking where you included Rory Stewart, and Iain Martin I knew I was wasting my time reading any further.

Stewart is simply not a conservative in any shape or form and Martin is a wet consensus Tory whose main focus is to ensure he writes nothing that might upset the hosts of his dinner party set! God forbid someone thought him impolite!

Your blog your prerogative, but the fact you are clearly so naïve and undiscerning, to the point you are so easily taken in by Rory Stewart's kayfabe schtick indicates you are someone with little of importance to say and someone I don't need to take seriously.

Is your next move to start praising his sidekick Alastair Campbell? A more detestable man it would be hard to imagine exists.

Though you have done me a great service, by illuminating the fact I don't need to waste any more of my time reading your blog.

Thank you and good bye.

I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that you popped out of the maternal innards a conservative. I’ve never seen a baby or small child who didn’t (from the absolute outset) prefer what they were used to and loudly protest at any change. And while they might take a while to grasp the concept of sound money, both my six-year-old and my four-year-old are most definitely in favour of small government.

“The overwhelming impression is that the right is just pissed off about things.”

QED, at least in David’s case…

He doesn’t seem fulfilled or happy.
