Is David Cameron Actually A Tory At All? - Mea Culpa, me so sorry for being White, for speaking English, from trying to save the world from Europe..

Is David Cameron Actually A Tory At All? - By Nat Brown - Media Blog - National Review Online
It’s an important question that Stephen Glover asks in a very good column in the Daily Mail. If nothing else, it looks like Cameron’s been taking some tips from Obama on foreign policy:

Twice in the past week David Cameron has opened his mouth and said things which would have appalled me had they come from a diehard socialist leader. Could a true Tory really have spoken in this way?

When he was in Pakistan he appeared to say that Britain was responsible for ‘so many of the world’s problems’. Sensible Tories are proud rather than ashamed of the British Empire, though of course bad things happened. It is also an established convention that prime ministers do not run down this country while abroad.
