Erm ... this is a Tory government?

Okay, over the course of the past day, I've heard David Cameron on the radio reading out bits of the Bloody Sunday inquiry without any weaseling or trying to play the findings down. I've heard Ken Clarke talk about the importance of prison reform. I've heard Theresa May (Theresa May!) talk about an end to draconian civil rights infringements, and I've been told that the government has assigned Old Labour's Frank Fields to head a committee looking into benefit reform.

Have the left-wing of the LibDems been slipping something into the food at Coalition Towers, or what?

Well NuLabour pinched all the old Tory policies, so this lot have had to make do with what was left over :-)

But yes, apart from instituting badger culls (boo! hiss!) this lot do seem suspiciously sensible so far...

Suspiciously is the word - I keep wondering what they're really up to.

I keep wondering what they're really up to.

Since they're politicians, and therefore automatically not to be trusted, this is an entirely rational position.
