Anger management

Over the last few months I've been getting progressively more fed up with David Cameron, the Conservative party in general and the European Union in particular.

Angry enough to change a habit of a life time.

Does someone at CCHQ have a device that can detect this level if disquiet in the ranks ?

I ask as suddenly my ears are ringing with Eurosceptic dog whistle noises. Its no enough to drown out the annoyance of the Liberal Democrat Fiasco in the media just now, but its loud neither the less.

What I ask myself is if what's really happening is I'm being managed - along with thousands of other Conservative activists - to get us over our current wave of fury. I suspect the answer is perhaps yes.

Note to CCHQ - we'll be watching announced policy, not William Hague making jokes or trying to sing to Eurosceptic mood music. This really could be our last waltz ...

Some of us reached this stage just a little earlier, that's all.

James is correct. You have actually been rather patient. After voting Tory all my life, I voted UKIP last time. Cameron is as slippery as snake oil and not a true Conservative.

Problem is you much preferred Tories in opposition because it gave you a target to aim your crosshairs

@Anon - there was no need to aim in opposition, just close your eyes and fire away. ( Its true blogging is easier in opposition. )

Personally I'd always rather being in govt able to do right of centre things.

The question is can that happen any more whilst being in the EU ?

We watched announced policy last time.

Remember the cast-iron promise?

I'm sure I am not the only one who will never trust them again.

UKIP may be a bunch of swivel-eyed tossers (unfortunately), but they're the only game in town now, as far as I'm concerned.

Am I alone in this? I doubt it.
