She’s toast now, surely ?
It just goes to show just how contemptuous your typical Tory is of spending public money.
As a party, they cannot resist their Friedmanite agenda (think Thatcherite, but on a global scale), which is not about delivering a quality of life for the masses, but instead of delivering previously public services into private hands for whopping profits at tax payer expense.
When will we have a Tory party that actually does what it supposedly claims, and delivers the conditions for monopoly-free, innovative and rewarding entrepreneurship.
Well.. I somehow doubt that Lord Ashcroft of Tax Haven, who seems to be funding a vast number of the campaigns in Tory target seats, is going to want to see his friends put in a position where they have real business competition!
