Regular readers will know that I've had my doubts about Tim Montgomerie and his "Uncle Tom" website
Conservative Home. Those doubts are now fully supported as we see his blog join
The Guardian as a "
content partner" â alongside "feminists" and the neo Marxist
Left Foot Forwards.
And, to consummate the nuptials, we have a vomit-inducing piece from the self-same
Tim Montgomerie, headed "Cameron must start worrying about Europe" - sitting on the
Guardian website. It tells us that "David Cameron already has the NHS and crime on his list of challenges. But his Eurosceptic credentials are widely doubted".
This is straight out of the muppet school of politics, the fare of the fool
Oborne, and an insult to the intelligence of any reader who can muster more brain cells than Montgomerie has fingers. All together now: Euroslime Dave has no Eurosceptic credentials. He is a rabid Europhile.
However, the main news of this particular post is the marriage of
The Guardian and
Conservative Home. Had anyone had ventured that this might happen, even a year ago, they would have been dismissed as a blathering madman. But now, impossible things come to pass ... proving once again that the political classes are all partaking in joint micturition exercises, mostly on the rest of us.
As another one sells out, though - corrupting the word "independent" - we need
our own voices, much
more than ever. At least
not being on the
ConHome blogroll is now a badge of honour.
