That other speech

You know, I can’t think of a single thing to say about David Cameron’s speech. I suppose it was clever that he declared himself ‘the man with the plan‘ – the papers have gone long on that this morning – without actually saying what that plan is.

Nobody seems overly perturbed by the speech’s vacuity, such are the expectations and attention spans of the modern era. It slipped in one ear and out the other without leaving any impression. I suspect that was what it was designed to do for many.

It’s a 1994-1997 rerun. The Tories don’t need to win the next election when New Labour are going to lose it. The cliche was that New Labour could have put up a dog in a suit as their leader in 1997 and still won. All the New Tories need to do now is stop Cameron taking a whizz on the rug.

    As I said on Twitter last night:

    He’s the man with the plan!
    What plan?
    The plan with the power!
    What power?
    The power of voodoo…

    Didn`t Richard Nixon say that on his campaign trail back in the early 70s – I`ve got a plan, but I can`t tell you what it is! You`ll just have to trust me!
