  1. Have you read much from Blond?

    I've been reading his new book, Red Tory. Interesting ideas.

    I think I appreciate his critique more than his proposed solutions.

    Distributism has a funny smell...

  2. I bought Red Tory this week and I've read the intro. Interesting so far, especially his critique of Left and Right. Looks like Blond may be to the Cam-Cons what Will Hutton was to New Labour. Although with Hutton New Lab just pinched his buzz word "stakeholder" and used it as a label for a rubbishy pension product. Such is the fate of political gurus.

  3. 'Such is the fate of political gurus.'

    So it seems!

    I'm waiting to see what happens with Blond. From what I can see Cameron doesn't owe him too much presently.
