Hey Joey...

It's interesting to hear what you think, even though I don't agree with all of it. For instance, you say Conservatives are smouldering at Cameron for failing to get an overall majority like Blair or Brown. Actually, Brown never won an election. He was a completely unelected PM.

It's true that some Tory policies to have to change, and Cameron has shown himself to be willing to do a u-turn in the face of public opposition. Of course he is criticised for u-turns just as he would be criticised if he were unwilling to do a u-turn. It's the nature of the beast; you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

Whatever David Cameron's involvement with Andy Coulson, he is not responsible for the hacking of people's phones. It seems to me that to make David Cameron a scapegoat in this sordid affair is deflecting the blame from the people responsible and I wonder whether the energy that's being put into slagging the Tories could be more fruitful it it were directed elsewhere.

Always interesting to hear your take on things, joey.
