And so farwell to any possibility of a second Cameron term

According to the Evening Standard, which is admittedly right-wing nutter heaven, our beloved leader wants to "fix 120,000 problem families", "End the human rights culture" and impose "citizen service for 16-year-olds"

Words fail me. So let's try a totally unbiased poll...

[Poll #1769880]

Is there anyone who thinks that the Lib-Dems will survive this coalition, whether or not the Conservatives do?

The sad thing is I think this rhetoric probably plays extremely well with Conservative voters, so he's probably strengthening himself.

Hitting the law and order spiel, and going after the social underclass, probably brings him more voters than it loses.

May be true, unfortunately. Wonder if they envisage their own kids being drafted when they read this stuff.

Nah, they are of that class that considers the rules to only apply to those too poor to be able to afford the lawyers to get them out of it. One rule for the rich, another rule for the rest of us.

Yep, good example.
