Me, and many other folk interested in economics and the UK's new government.

And when Francis Maude comes out with this sort of stuff:

Then you just know where it's all going.
The Tories have always had an agenda. They may have been selective about sharing it with their coalition colleagues, but the agenda is obvious to anyone who can read, really.
Not my problem, as I'm all right, Jack. But the voters will get what they deserve.
I had hopes that Cameron and Clegg would have provided a new form of one-Nation Toryism, but instead they seem shackled by the old Tory shibboleths of bowing to the markets, and immediately reducing the size of government at the expense of the overall economy, and paving the way for a return to the sort of Victorian society that Dickens described so vividly.
Maybe a spell in service might do some of the ne'er-do-wells (like the coalition government, or the hoodies from the estates) in our society some good, but I doubt it: I mean, would you really trust either of these examples to clean your silver properly? And most of the children of both these groups are too fat to fit up our chimneys.
