The Tory backwoodsmen never gave up, of course, continuing to beaver away in the background their endless war of attrition, particularly via the media, and in combination with the growing cynicism of the successful Labour politicians, never anchored in Christianity, just using its values and ideas as a front, we inevitably ended up with NuLab(c), under one, Anthony Blair, who was said by Baroness Lady Cardboard to be her proudest achievement. Well, she did get a little help in that from MI5, who began to groom him in his university days. You go, Jeremy! (I don't mean go away).
