Opposing obscurantism...


Isabel Hardman of The Spectator writing about Grant Shapps' speech at the Conservative conference (I'll be checking the BBC coverage to see if it matches the wall to wall obsequious drivel they published during Labour's sorry efforts last week): worth shouting about IMHO...
"Why don't we spend enough time explaining the good things we've done, in impossible circumstances? Why are we the shy Tories? How many people know we've cut a quarter off the deficit? Cut tax for 24 million people? Taken another 2 million people out of tax entirely? Do they know that 457,000 people started apprenticeships – not since the last general election – but in the last year alone?"

The apprenticeships figures are fantastic a local company has just started 20 new apprenticeships a record for one year. I think there are a lot of Conservatives waiting for the whole thing to fail, all those who consider Cameron and Osborne as to centre. Our M.P has had a right go at the Lib Dem's in the papers this week, saying they should be taken out and shot - sorry, taken out of the equation. Mind you he thought John Major was too left wing!

btw - which Grant Shapps was it that spoke, the real one or his alter ego (love that story)
