Leo Blair kidnap plot foiled
Nutcase father's rights group Fathers 4 Justice's plan to kidnap Tony Blair's son has been stopped. The group planned to lure 5 year old Leo from the safety of wherever it is that he tends to be, by dressing as comic book heroes from the seventies and standing in high-up places in full public view. No physical harm would have come to young Blair, but as yet, speculation on the psychological damage of being picked up and thrown over the shoulder of a fat middle-aged psychopath dressed as Batman has been limited.
Police are also investigating a reported attempt to kidnap centre-ground voters. Sources close to Scotland Yard say that they are currently following up a lead that someone known as "Dave" might be behind the plot.

I'm waiting for the backlash from the proper Conservatives, moving over to vote for the BNP for its policy on immigration, Europe and the Pound. But I suppose New Labour didn't generate any votes for the Communist Party, so it probably won't happen.

The BNP are socialists anyway, so the Tory party is unlikely to leak many 'proper Conservatives' that way.
UKIP have realised this, and are pushing their economic liberal/social conservative credentials. That's where they'll go, if they do.
You're right with the New Labour analogy. Most of old Labour just got carried along with the momentum. We'll see though - Tories don't like to be too closely bunched together, so don't expect Cameron's Conservatives to be as close-nit policy/presentation wise as New Labour were. If he tries that, it'll backfire.

Guido Is as cynical as ever out this.
I think he's right.
Further smokescreen has been provided by today's non-announcement about cannabis.
