Anybody not reliant on the state for income and with two brain cells to rub together would be happy with the speech.<br /><br />The best parts of the speech were the simply put messages. To those who take an interest in current affairs, simple messages repeated are 'soundbites' and without substance. Unfortunately the type of people the Tories need to win over respond best to this type of message.<br /><br />Did you watch QT last night? The audience were generally oblivious to the scale of our problems and ignorant of Labour's record. However, a bit of red meat from Cooper regarding Tory Toffs and they were beying for blood.<br /><br />These people don't watch the news or read a good paper. They respond to politics of envy and believe what they are told by figures they trust despite constant deception.<br /><br />The messages need to go out, blunt, repeatedly and in the simplest of terms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-3531425499934296172009-10-08T23:28:06.839+01:002009-10-08T23:28:06.839+01:00Just getting myself a Whisky to watch the second h...Just getting myself a Whisky to watch the second half of the speech - after I had to go and collect the kids from school and take them swimming etc.<br /><br />I think the is a key historic speech. The Conservative party has worked hard to earn the right to be listened to. Now it is saying something worth listening to.Man in a Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990902055642035293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-78901923155129563782009-10-08T20:30:12.776+01:002009-10-08T20:30:12.776+01:00A measured, intelligent, coherent thought provokin...A measured, intelligent, coherent thought provoking speech from a very committed and capable man.<br />I wish he could start today.<br />I don't care how big or small his majority at the next election is as long as he's the new PM.<br />It seems like an age until next May.<br />Until then, Brown is bonkers and labour are lickspittles, but there are some foaming right wingers who would rather persist with them and go full throttle to EUSSR than give Cameron an opportunity to fight our corner.<br />Maybe he'll have us like the French and Germans, just picking and choosing what diktats we slavishly obey.<br />Labour just obey the lot to the letter because they are thick and cowardly.sean lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034768711802148306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-25442123573779379802009-10-08T18:47:23.908+01:002009-10-08T18:47:23.908+01:00I enjoyed it greatly [perhaps a little too much re...I enjoyed it greatly [perhaps a little too much red wine contributed to that] but there were some great speeches and more importantly - a possible way forward.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-74830198371794320672009-10-08T18:42:50.758+01:002009-10-08T18:42:50.758+01:00QM,
You know that I have campaigned long and hard...QM,<br /><br />You know that I have campaigned long and hard for a referendum. I trust Cameron to do the right thing for this country in the EU.<br /><br />If you heard his speech you will know that he criticised the EU. No other leader would do that, and he was giving a clear indication about his plans for less integration with the EU. <br /><br />I'll wait and see, but I'm hopeful.Daily Referendumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899003349232334603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-2147740534784249162009-10-08T18:36:14.338+01:002009-10-08T18:36:14.338+01:00But no referendum.
