Cameron is boozing too much, you can see it: that distinct podge. Now bags under his eyes.

People like Foulkes and Crompie are partly responsible for the growing I-gent interest in all things Italian - so too is Sir Michael Verity of Corleone. However, one wonders how many true bespoke customers there are among the i-gentry - maybe three dozen - tops? Most 'regulars' (especially the goons who 'comment' on blogs) are just pissing in the wind really and passing the time between meals (or whatever).

It must be small, because who is in position to purchase dozens of bespoke items? And of those, how many will be in a position time wise/or be interested in wasting time boasting about it on the iGent forums? Very few.

I would be very surprised if all the forums together put the number over 30 or so. Most people flit between the forums anyway.

Kow-towing to spin doctors is a demonstration that they have no oomph at all.

^ Clegg has been a dead-man-walking for a good while now. His focus will be life after politics and stringing the coalition out for as long as he can.

Cameron needs a coalition to hold off a leadership challenge. EU Commissioner would be a nice little earner so could be a useful bargaining chip.

The coalition enduring might prevent unrest in the ranks. If it collapsed MPs might be minded to drum up the 15% needed. I think stalking horse is applied to whoever publicly expresses dissatisfaction nowadays  - the MP for Windsor, for example.
