Showing the world some fight

In his closing address to the Tory Party Conference the Prime Minister urged us to 'show some fight'. I suppose he was trying to sound Churchillian - most politicians do when they are in trouble.

Most people, however, will be left wondering how they are to fight. Whom are they to fight against?

This blog offers some answers.

Despite the Government agreeing with almost every commentator in the world that public spending should be reduced, it has gone up by £23 billion since Mr Cameron came to office and is scheduled to go up another £20 billion next year. Show some fight, Dave.

Most of the immigrants to Britain are from EU countries, yet despite blethering on about controlling immigration the Prime Minister makes no effort to stop it. Show some fight, Dave.

British industry is choking under levels of regulation its competitors worldwide do not have, in particular the latest ruinously expensive Part-time Workers Directive. Yet Mr Cameron did not refuse to implement it. Show some fight, Dave.

Most of the people who voted for him have been traduced by his undemocratic deal with the Liberal Democrats (the policies were made after we had voted) because he didn't have the balls either to go it alone as the largest party or to call another election. Show some fight, Dave.

Next time the Prime Minister feels like behaving like a man, much less a Churchill, this blog remains at his disposal for advice.
