Italy reported to be seeking Bail Out by Die Welt
Britain needs to be preparing for the coming economic tsunami by appointing a Prime Minister of probity NOW! Just as I have been blogging all weekend, here on this blog, on Ironies Too and on Orphans of Liberty.
If Italy goes, read here, so too does the EU!
IDS is one of the few in Cabinet with the right to take over the Tory Party and the track record to show he knows from whence the greatest dange comes!
Von Rompuy has called a meeting of the unelected leeches at the top of the EU, it is not now their concern for they are the ones who have created the wreck!

Re-instate Iain Duncan Smith
Further to my post of this morning calling for Iain Duncan Smith to be re-instated as leader of the party, linked here, it seems worthwhile reminding ourselves of the calibre of the man by repeating some earlier posts from this blog.
The first in this series is an attack he launched on the degradation our politics by the cosying up of politicians of all parties to the tabloid press, and the lowering in standards across society as a whole by the free reign Blair provided Alistair Campbell. Read it in full herewith:

IDS on the Attack
A strong attack came from the Tory leader today in the Independent on Sunday, titled "End the culture of deceit" , linked here. (Link repaired 8th July 2011).
According to a summary at the beginning Iain Duncan Smith quite correctly believes and states:-
The real problem with the last six years is that Labour hasn't just ruined its reputation, it has poisoned the whole of politics
Which is exactly what we have been arguing for many months on our sister blog Ironies and elswhere.
However, it is not just the deceit and the control and the inefficiences of the Blair government, all of which IDS adequately covers; it is the very quality of debate in public life that has been devalued by Campbell's thuggish approach to the media. This in turn, as I have unhappily witnessed during infrequent visits, has permeated through society so that not just on the roads or in crowded public places, but even within families or closer circles there is sometimes a harsh and badgering tone to routine daily or mundane exchanges.
I hope that with the passing of Campbell, soon to be followed (it is deeply wished) by Blair and the rest of his truly woefully awful cabinet and administration, some degree of courtesy might be restored if not to politics than at least to the broader British society.
In the penultimate paragraph of his comment the Leader of the Opposition says the following:-
At the next general election the British people won't vote for politicians whose only plea is for them to be trusted with even more power. They don't want another know-all government that promises the earth but delivers nothing. They want a government that is ready to pass Whitehall's power to local communities and to the doctors, teachers and police officers who serve them.
They also want an honest government, and the problem for the Tories as the natural successors to Blair, is that their political party is stained by the same brush as he correctly identifies colours the problems of New Labour.
British Democracy depends upon the party system to function, all parties are now rightly held in such contempt that one must wonder how any can win. That seems to be the challenge for IDS, can all traces of the Major mal-administration be completely purged so that they might just be mostly forgotten?
In my view, with Europe entering a period of almost certain, deep and seemingly incurable economic crisis a re-positioning on that critical policy matter, that impinges on all others even those he chooses to prioritise namely health, education and law and order, would seem the most attractive way of distancing himself from the disastrous policies of his Conservative predecessor. More rigorous sidelining of the remaining Major euro-federalists within the party and more robust policies towards the EU, if adopted now, might well pay dividends subject for once to both being sincerely meant and subsequently followed through.

The moral and political case for IDS to resume his Conservative Party leadership.
David Cameron has lost the moral and political authority to continue to lead the country. Ridding the nation of this encumbrance to sound policies and morally based judgements ,and therefore it follows, optimum national survival during the rapidly approaching, world economic tsunami, cannot be delayed for much longer.
The first point that must be dealt with to achieve the National Government (which I believe is becoming the sole recourse,) with the authority to take the urgent decisions to protect the incomes and welfare of Britain’s population, must be taken within the Conservative Party. In calmer times the trashing of our three most recent Prime Ministers by the Murdoch empire could be given time to play out through the process of police enquiries, judicial reviews and the complicated inner politics and leadership election procedures of the Conservative Party, which holds the greatest number of seats in Parliament, from which flows the ability to select an individual to lead the country which other party MPs then have the right to accept or reject.
Iain Duncan Smith was the last leader of the Tory Party to be elected under the system of election introduced by William Hague. The coronation of Michael Howard, followed by the hugely suspect procedures which resulted in David Cameron arriving at the head of the party, are both covered in great detail on my blog Teetering Tories on a day to day basis at the time of each process. In my view, given all the circumstances as there detailed, IDS has the absolute moral right to to justify the party leadership being returned to him at this difficult moment, for just as long as the coming World Economic collapse continues, and while he can gain the necessary support from the Labour and Liberal Democrats party, whom I would suggest he invites to form a National Government, just as in war time, which the coming months seem likely to resemble.
So much for the moral case. What of the politics?
As I pointed out on these pages earlier this week, eight years ago IDS identified the dangers to our country from the European union, and was subsequently removed from the leadership of his party for his pains. Just as happened to Margaret Thatcher before him. Thatcher and IDS have both been proved entirely correct in all their warnings. Nobody in the Conservative Party, other perhaps than Ken Clarke and a few other EU fanatics, could today argue with that obvious fact.
David Cameron has failed politically. He apparently sacrificed his probity to News International, in order to gain election against the least popular and thoroughly tainted party in recent modern history. He failed! Popular opinion had it, that IDS was ruthlessly dumped following being smeared in the media, because he was considered unelectable. He could hardly have done worse than Howard and Cameron. The crisis that is about to engulf us comes from the EU. Cameron on his record since becoming PM, has proved himself unable to stand up to this monstrous and wealth destroying, oppressive and totalitarian, Construct; which is today slowly consuming itself and the wealth of its membership, to no point!
The founding by IDS of the Centre for Social Justice and his work as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions add tremendously to this upright man's political qualifications for leading the nation, where the pain will inevitably initially be felt most strongly by the poorer members of society!
This post also appears on Ironies Too, prepared during David Cameron’s Press conference at 10:20 am 8th July, 2011. It will eventually be repeated on Orphans of Liberty.

Time for the last properly elected Tory Leader to speak out!
My post at 09:43 am this morning to an article by IDS in the DT this morning, linked here:
Stuart Wheeler and other shadowy backers of the Conservatives who reportedly forced this man from the party leadership have much to answer for as well.
Now that Mandelson and Campbell are back fully behind the New Labour project the consequences of the Michael Howard leadership will be fully exposed in the next election campaign. The over promotion of George Osborne is only the most obvious aspect of Howard's disastrous tenure.
When the full facts of the manipulated leadership election which put Cameron in position (all chronologically chronicled on my blog Teetering Tories) are properly publicised during the General Election campaign, the Conservatives will be seen to be led by a man with about as much legitimacy as Robert Mugabe has at present - will that help rid the country of New Labour?
At least David Davis has distanced himself from the Cameroons, but IMHO the likes of the author of this article must now also make a political stand!
