Conservative Values



Just what does the Conservative Party in general and David Cameron, in particular, stand for?  The news that a Heathrow decision will be postponed, yet again, was entirely predictable.  Equally predictable, that he waited, until the time was right to secure popular endorsement, before taking action to assist a NATO ally who had been violated by the same Islamic terrorism we profess to be fighting a few miles away, was spineless.  On the other hand, we were unprepared for the about turns on welfare reform and balancing the books announced in the budget.  The awful Nicky Morgan has now put the brake on education reform and nobody, it appears, dare face the truth on NHS funding.  The commitment to 2% on defence spending is a shameful accounting trick.  Goodness knows what we are supposed to be "negotiating" over EU membership (but it doesn't seem to be much of substance).  But one thing remains constant, our commitment to 0.7% of GDP on overseas aid!
