Cameron: The Rise of the New Conservative
Cameron: The Rise of the New Conservative

$36.00
Francis Elliott, the Whitehall Editor of the Independent on Sunday, and James Hanning, an old Etonian and the Executive Editor of the Independent on Sunday, have written a fascinating biography of David Cameron, the leader of the opposition since 2005. The son of a stockbroker, who went to preparatory school, Eton and Oxford, Cameron has led a life `of gilded privilege, of nannies, swimming pools and friends in the City', as they describe it.

An Etonian said, "you are tough as nails, you are, and no one realises it." The phrase `not as nice as he seems' recurs. An Oxford friend said, "he loved the free market and Thatcher." Elliott and Hanning sum up, "he was, as university friends confirm, a dyed-in-the-wool Thatcherite."

Cameron worked at the Conservative Research Department from 1988 to 1992 and then as an adviser first to Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont and later to Home Secretary Michael Howard. A friend said, "David was very right wing in those days."

In 1992, Prime Minister John Major and Cameron's boss Lamont insisted that they had no plans to raise taxes, and then within a year signalled three years of tax rises in the 1993 budget. This `green' tax, of VAT on fuel, lifted the tax take by more than ”ņ10 billion by 1995. Cameron has pledged to make emissions cuts targets statutory.

In 1994, his fianc«±e's mother, a friend of Michael Green, chairman of Carlton Communications (the world's worst TV company), got him a ”ņ80K a year job as the firm's spin doctor. He worked there for seven years. Green said, "I think David can be ruthless ... he was as tough as they come." Others saw him as a smarmy bully.

Cameron said, "I am an instinctive hawk." He voted for the Iraq war, despite saying that he would not do so without proof of threat or a UN resolution. He was and is liberal on drugs and gays, hard-right on the economy, and neo-con on foreign policy.
