Stolen from the Saturday's leader in the Torygraph

Westminster is a cosy place, insulated by soft furnishings & their mental equivalent: a belief that Western sized public sectors are compatible with the ruthless global competition of the 21st century. This is a delusion comparable to the 1970s belief that economies could thrive with double digit inflation. Margaret Thatcher shattered that myth; with storm clouds nearing, we shall soon need another Mrs Thatcher to shake us out of our complacency. But who will rise to the challenge?

Certainly not todays so-called Tories.
