Prodicus: The language of politics

The language of politics

How refreshing to hear David Cameron and other ministers talking about 'quietly going about the business of government' and 'not chasing the 24 hour news cycle'.

What a pleasant contrast to Brown Labour's constant talk of 'fighting'.

I am battle-weary. It is a relief to have a government concerned simply with how to govern well, after years of Labour's unconvincing and pointless, non-stop political propaganda about its class war fantasy while they let the actual business of government run to chaos.
