5. It's very amusing to see a Daily Mail writer...

calling out Cameron for taking a pop at Ted Heath. One would think that would be red meat for the Tory right since Heath famously took Britain into the EU. The Mail is extremely Eurosceptic, and for reference here's a column in the Daily Mail from Peter Hitchens (Christopher Hitchens' brother) lambasting Cameron as "Ted Heath Mk 2" (that is to say, not a real Tory...the piece also has a photo of Heath with the caption "betrayed Britain&quot :


Two Tory MPs are so scared of David Cameron’s pro-EU thought police that they have hidden their identities when giving radio interviews on the subject.

One said that wanting to leave the EU was ‘the love that dare not speak its name’. The other attacked Mr Cameron’s broken pledge for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Both knew that the Tory whips would destroy them if their names became known.

This extraordinary behaviour, broadcast on BBC Radio 4’s ultra-respectable Analysis programme, tells you all you need to know about the Conservative Party’s real position on Brussels, and plenty of other things.

For of course, this isn’t just about boring old Brussels. The EU is symbolic of all the other great issues that divide Mr Cameron from Tory voters - mass immigration, crime, disorder, education, marriage and morals.

I have known since I first spotted him trying to weaken the anti-drug laws that Mr Cameron was not a conservative. I have spoken to former colleagues who have concluded that he believes in nothing at all, but I think it is much worse than that. I think he is an active, militant elite liberal, who despises our country and its people, just as much as any Islington Marxist does.
