Re: 'Call Me Dave'

My own reaction is to consider the role of Lord Ashcroft. He gave millions to the Conservative Party and expected a top job in government – Foreign Secretary apparently. So now Cameron has to be destroyed. Charming behaviour or evidence of the Tories being the Nasty Party?

In Ashcroft's case it makes him look vindictive and disloyal to me. I would say the same of anyone who behaves this way whatever their political affiliation .

As I have said on another forum, I can understand the sour grapes by Ashcroft, but I don't understand the Daily Mail a Tory newspaper publishing it.

Rather like women who marry men for their money and then claim large settlements for their troubles.

Then I expect Ashcroft made his billion from being ruthless and taking no prisoners , so that will be his nature .

Re: 'Call Me Dave'

I did not really know much about Ashcroft, so have had a little read, only on Wiki, but he seems to me to be a wheeler dealer cum asset stripper in the best Tory tradition and a tax dodger to boot! Nice man, wonder which lodge he is in?

The same lodge in which the Duke of Kent presides.
