Yesterday's presentation by David Cameron, alongside Nassim Nicholas Taleb, has produced a strong reaction.

The Guardian journalist reports that -

"Taleb outlined a series of contoversial views today -

• Climate change is not man-made.

• Barack Obama could be blamed for hyperinflation.

• Economic crashes are a good thing."

This follows Cameron's support for "Daniel Hannan, a Tory MEP who was given a prime speaking slot at the party's spring conference, described the NHS as a "60 year mistake".

A return to fox-hunting. Extra help for the 3,000 wealthiest estates.

All on top of a continued highlighting of a debt crisis, which has been described as irresponsible, and out of context of a drive to sustain businesses and jobs, and families in homes.

Time for people to reflect on just what the Tories really stand for.
