A simple warning
In amongst all the clamour about how the electorate are learning to love the Leader of the Opposition, Brian Reade in the Mirror offers a frighteningly plausible view of what a Cameron premiership would look like. In fact, this would make an excellent attack at PMQs:
[This] is what this former TV spin doctor will promise. He'll paint a picture of long shadows on county cricket grounds and old maids cycling through morning mists. Real Blighty, before it was corrupted by liberal immorality. He'll pledge beat bobbies issuing clips round ears, hula-hoops and 10 bob notes. He'll promise a post office and a thriving pub on every corner, unlocked front doors, thin children and a Hattie Jacques matron for every hospital ward.
But what will happen after a few years of rule by the Eton Rifles is that ... the NHS will be savaged by privatisation meaning ... stillborn births up, coronary-care units shut and cervical smear tests pulled unless you're in Bupa.
He'll talk about taking us out of Europe and make Nigella Lawson the Minister for Women Knowing Their Place ... Hunting will be legalised, hanging floated, grammar and public schools provided for the wealthy, secondary-moderns and boot-camps for the rest ... State benefits will be slashed ... immigrants freely targeted ...
And the soundtrack will change from Magic Moments to Who's Sorry Now?
