DavidM: "(Peter Hitchens) desperately, pathetically, angrily yearns for a pastoral 50s Englandshire that never existed anyway. And he's getting more and more pissed off that the rest of the population wants to move on"; well, obviously, and that's what makes his columns so sad to read in a way (even for someone like me who hates him). I feel very sorry for him in a way, in that he so obviously can't come to terms with anything about the modern world (and is also wracked with guilt about his youthful liberalism).

Yes but before that happens they will be forced to reinvent themselves as a more socially liberal, centrist party (as Heseltine said on Thursday night - elections in the UK are won on the centre ground). Admittedly it might take another defeat for them to finally realise this. But even then, don't assume that Labour can automatically expect a third term - they've been fortunate with the state of the economy so far, and have been given the benefit of the doubt on improving public services (arguably an impossibility).

Aggressive Cameron is aggressive.

In an attempt to counter that, I could only find the following fella, who 'occasionally plays at left back'. Ladies and gentlemen...

Defensive Cameron is defensive.
