Sausage Dog Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think you are prejudging the next government based on a tiny sample, especially considering the long history we have of politics. To judge all MP's as being nothing more than their predecessors is fruitless as no one can ever do any better from your point of view. Certainly make a judgement the conservatives after some times has passed but to judge them before they have even stepped foot into no.10 is, well, silly at the very least. Wasn't Osbourne on the same yaught as Mandelson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Cameron's media chief the man who used to edit the News of the World, when at least one of his journos was tapping phones? You can judge a man by the company he keeps.
