In a Government wracked by despair and defeatism, index he remains a monument to glossy optimism. He cannot really believe the stuff he spouts about the Tories storming back to a fifth victory, one thinks. His index age? No, though html he is a rare, creased survivor from the heroic period of the shehab Thatcher revolution, living on in a Cabinet of her political children. There is index something about the President shehab index of the Board of Trade that marks him out utterly from the rest of the shehab Tory office-holding class. No html party has ever gone into an election hoping openly html to lose.So what can they do instead?Say they shehab want to recapture the hearts and shehab index minds of Middle England.Which they can't do?Not just by saying they want to do it.So is it just another way of losing html the next html election?Seems like it.But that's incredible.Yes, isn't it?.

It did consider it, but someone remembered what happened in the general election after the real VE-Day.You mean, Churchill being chucked out?Yes.Still, Labour victory in the post-war election did mean the Tories could later blame Labour for post-war shortages and rationing, didn't it?Sure.So why doesn't the Tory government listen to Middle England and get out now, leaving Labour to get the blame for the coming mess?Secretly, that is what they would like to do, but they cannot afford to admit it. By portraying itself as the government of tax-cutting without actually cutting any taxes. By calling a snap election on this coming VE-Day.Is it really going to do that?No. Middle England has a message for the Government.What is this message?"Push off."Is that the exact wording?Not exactly.What is the exact wording?Never mind.Is the message getting through to the politicians?No.Is there no such place as Middle Scotland or Middle Wales?Yes, there is.Is the Government trying to capture the hearts and minds of Middle Scotland and Middle Wales?No.Why not?Too much like hard work.In what other ways is the Government trying to recapture the hearts and minds of Middle England?By attacking the BBC for being crypto-leftist.

How does politics work?When politicians find they are unpopular, they say their message is not getting through and they must try harder to get it across.Is Middle England trying to say something back to the politicians?Yes. They think dreadful things are happening to schools and hospitals. They blame the Government for this.Does the Government take the blame for this?The Government does not take the blame for anything.Except for losing the hearts and minds of Middle England?I think you will find the Government blames Middle England for letting its own hearts and minds drift.Shouldn't the Government say sorry to Middle England before trying to recapture their hearts and minds?That is not the way politics works.Sorry. Miles from the nearest policeman, who is too busy having to fill in forms to get out and about Middle England is in the middle of nowhere.Gosh.
