I think it was a younger Portillo, before his '97 moment,
that urged his fellow Tories to put 'Clear Blue water' between themselves
and other parties. [He had been Defence Secretary so he might have still been full of
Admirals talking about Deep Sea fleets].
Seems odd that the Tries have chosen to not paddle but dive head first into the murky waters
of rightwing nationalism.
Cameron's attempt to see of the 'brexit fox' with the Referendum has only served to embolden
the debris at the far right edge of UK politics.
Lord FawFaw, funded by the likes of Aaron Banks and Richard Tice, to have targetted social media scare adverts, has decided he does not need the Tory press as intermediaries between himself and his adoring public.
And he knows he is on the wrong side of public opinion on Ukraine.
Democracy is worth fighting for.

the power dynamic is interesting because no tories would dream of attacking any of the mainstream newspapers.
also interesting that tories have been haemorrhaging votes to reform but they seemed to be scared to attack them. the putin comments are the first time they have had a go. it's hard to see how the tories can attack reform's general stance since they want to appear as tough as possible on immigration and they both have unfunded manifestos
