I was always against Heathrow expansion because the areas that would have been demolished are extremely valuable ancient woodland which is nigh on impossible to replace. Having a high speed train instead of that shite is killing 2 birds with 1 stone.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps he could do a few good bits of business if he wins the next election. I do like his education policy too :)asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-24349068719867264242008-09-29T16:07:00.000+01:002008-09-29T16:07:00.000+01:00I am only partly that sort of Conservative .I susp...I am only partly that sort of Conservative .I suspect less so than Cameron in factNewmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922161971821380803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-57259245807437508332008-09-29T15:47:00.000+01:002008-09-29T15:47:00.000+01:00I know what you mean by Conservatism & it'...I know what you mean by Conservatism & it's quite an admirable creed in some ways, though not one I'd put my name to.<BR/><BR/>I just don't think it would be delivered by Cameron and co!

I wish I could, but the ideological neoliberal element is too strong.<BR/><BR/>You are making a point along the lines of "in the 1970s socialism was a dragon to be slain, markets were the answer: we must now turn our attention to social problems & deregulation & slashing taxes isn't necessarily the answer in these times". But do they all agree? I don't think they've all got your attitude. <BR/><BR/>You might well be a true Conservative, but is Cameron, are the new PPCs, are the people who will be putting pressure on Cameron to act? Time will tell, but excuse me for not getting my hopes up.<BR/><BR/>I don't go round making claims about how the Liberal Democrats are exactly the same as me in policy terms, because I know they're not. Is Cameron going to satisfy you? I think he's got people who don't share your worldview competing for influence over him...asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-30372259880425669532008-09-29T11:52:00.000+01:002008-09-29T11:52:00.000+01:00Not sure I precisely see the point of short selli...Not sure I precisely see the point of short selling CU.
