Another side of Dave

An interview with David Cameron in the Daily Telegraph. I couldn’t be bothered to read it, but one sentence stood out:

“People are really beginning to feel that this government is like a house with a door that’s rotting and they want to boot it off its hinges.”

Is this really what David Cameron would do if he encountered a rotting door hanging off its hinges? Does he think that this is the natural thing to do in such circumstances? I know we live in ASBO times, but even a cynic such as myself would hesitate before assuming that our nation’s yobs would always act in such a fashion.

Perhaps politics brings out the violent streak in all of us, even in a seemingly mild-mannered man like Dave. It certainly puts Prescott’s pugilistic exploits into context.

Letter bomb explodes in Victoria office

According to the Daily Mail, the target was the Capita office. If that is the case, I suggest it would be hard to find the culprits. There are as many possible suspects as there are motives. Capita is involved in the congestion charge, collection of council tax arrears, failed taxpayer-funded IT projects (eg the Criminal Records Bureau), and much, much more.

Bound to be lots of aggrieved folk about.

Ukip to change name

According to the Daily Telegraph, Ukip is preparing to change its name to the ‘Independence Party’.

I must say, Ukip is becoming more appealing with each passing day. This change of name is not mere window-dressing. It suggests a broadening of focus to encompass wider conservative policies. I wonder if the (nominal) Conservative Party is worried about developments in Ukip. If it is not, it should be.
