Did Cameron Lie ?

When New Labour distributed their leaflets they had no grounds for suggesting the Conservative Party had plans to ditch WFA . In suggesting they did ,they were therefore lying .Simple
The material contrasted the supposed benevolence of the Conservative Party to millionaires ‘like Cameron’ and vindictiveness to poor old people ..usual stuff . Cameron would not rule out reforming these perks they said . Meaningless literally , but the implication was that the cuts were pencilled in .Not so .
In fact said leaflets were just another part of the class war / scorched earth policy New Labour adopted under Brown in his bunker days .Fantasy spending was promised in marginal seats and the country mortgaged even further .New Labour could promise any spending they liked and deny any taxes they liked spend borrow and ruin leaving a wreck behind them . The Oldster scare story was cooked up , like others before it ( See 97 pensions scare ) so activitists could go at get core old dears out of bed to vote .

It had no basis in reality expect New Labour’s knowledge they had bankrupted the country and so nothing could in reality be ruled out

Frankly the headline “ Blairites Outraged at Political Dishonesty” is beyond parody so we need not bother to much about high principles . What does concern me is what is going on within the coalition for such a clear attempt to embarrass Cameron to surface
