It’s quite amazing that at a moment when the Eurocrats have been thrown into crisis thanks to the actions of our friends the Irish, and when the NuLabour junta seek to remove even more of our hard won liberties through the imposition of the 42 Day Detention Bill, Conservative leader David Cameron takes the opportunity to insist that his “green agenda” is still his pressing concern. As you can imagine, the BBC delight in giving favourable coverage to Cameron’s eco-wackery at this moment and that is why he IS the sort of Conservative that the BBC will do business with. He runs away from tough issues and returns to the soft soap sell of the environmental gospel that plays so well through the BBC . It strikes me that British conservatism has been ratcheted so far to the left thanks to years of Labour triangulation, that if administration on power changed tomorrow we would not notice the real difference. And therein lies why the BBC will settle for Cameron’s mob in the medium term.
