Is our Prime Minister spinning off the planet, - or too concerned about spinning on it.
First there was the meticulously spun G8 awayaday or two in Northern Ireland. Still backdrops for a photocall, faux tieless smart casual to show he and all present were people of ( some, unspecified) people . Add to that the local high street being spun up with a clever makeover making a closed shop look like a delicatessen for the supposedly prosperous locals. Then , when he had dealt with global businesses seeking the lowest legal tax regimes ,there was all the posing and posturing about Syria with a dose of moral intoning - or should we say In-Toning ?- about the need to send arms parcels to the forces of the Syrian democrats ( who?) . This despite it being quite clear that he hasn't a hope of getting the idea through Parliament .All the stuff of a strong, square jawed leader we are presumably supposed to think.
Now back to the la la world of greenery and the fashionable planet saving movements. All's well there . Drax power station is beginning to consume its land gobbling 40 train loads of Canadian wood chips a day. Time to turn Prime Ministerial muscle and determination to the question of GM foods. What do we get ? A courageous definately maybe. We should look at it. Maybe do something about it. " Would our dear leader valiantly eat GM food and, potential horrors, feed it to his family?" Back behind the settee, afraid of Mumsnet and chattering dinner parties, Number 10 can't say. Maybe yes, maybe no. It's easier to arm a band of rebels somewhere else than face that lot . That's our man. That's also why he is not heading for glory in 2015 despite having followed the most financially disastrous government of modern times.
