Matthew Parris’s column in the Times shows just how afraid the Tories are. His party threw the kitchen sink at the campaign(not an Ikea sink either); they got the Press baying like pack hounds; they spent months at relentless, personal vilification of Gordon Brown; they peddled the bromide of a ‘Big Society’ as an elixir of a better life; they conjured mirages of savings; they promised everyone everything plus economic rigour. Snake Oil. If you can’t fool enough people at least some of the time, you’re toast. Most people emphatically did not, do not, and never will want the Conservative Party in sole charge of the country again.

Child of the post-war baby boom. Spent childhood summers on Shoreham Beach. Came of age in the Sixties. Got on my bike in ''79 when Mrs Thatcher won, and rode-off for France and Spain. Enrolled at University in Bordeaux, learned to teach French as a Foreign Language, discovered that we are an integral part of the astonishing tapestry of European Culture, that our differences, so large to us, are invisibly small to the world outside. Found Shoreham again in 1986 and moved down permanently in 1990 with Sally where we have grown up with two wonderful daughters.
