Alison's right Patrick.   Besides it's not a Tory government it's a coalition and the Lib Dems are really making some serious modulations to the Tory manifesto.  It's one of the most exciting things to happen to our political landscape  for years - I don't remember  anything quite like it.  Whether it will work or not who knows but it's an interesting experiment if nothing else.   And we've got rid of those warmongering, hypocritical, supercilious gits aka New Labour.  Yipee!!  So bye-bloody-bye weeping Mandy and Campbell and Brown.  Why so many people still fail to see that New Labour was just Thatcherism with Ray-Bans I'll never know.  

So rejoice Patrick - you don't need to fork out a hundred squid for an identity card you don't want although I'm sure you're mortified about the inheritance tax threshold!  

It's not a new dawn but it's certainly another day tomorrow,

  The lights went out a while back, Patrick. Blair hardly turned them back on.
