The Tory dog whistles are back.
A leading spokesperson highlighting concerns on multi-culturalism - as if Britain has never been anything but a country that mixes and adopts ideas from abroad as our own.
A proposal to freeze Council tax - as if. Turns out it would be optional for each local authority.
The Bank of England to deal with Bradford & Bingley instead of nationalisation. As if ultimately the public doesn't underwrite the Bank of England - the Bank of England is an agent of government.
All stuff designed to bypass scrutiny by appealing to baser instincts. It didn't work in 2005.
P.S. We look forward to Tory Councillors standing up for the proper role of local government. As if.
