Philip Blond - Man With a Mission

Funny thing is, I agree with a lot of what Philip Blond has said and so should many Labour activists. We need to help encourage community groups, Margaret Thatcher did help create a vulgar "loadsamoney" culture which helped destroy Victorian values (values which Thatcher claimed to support), we need a healthy balance in competition within the market place and it's important to defend the Welfare State to the hilt! Labour should take some of his views on board.

The question is, do the Conservatives accept him? Cameron has said that he "did not agree with everything Mr Blond said or would say in the future", and I for one cannot see your average Thatcherite "loadsamoney" Tory would be happy to read such ideas, do you! Those values are Social Democratic, and maybe when the Conservatives reject Blond (which they will), we should invite him to contribute to discussions on Labour's economic and social policies
