While David Cameron ponders which of his favourite conmen, theieves and liars he can sneak back into government in his cabinet reshuffle, Liam Fox, it seems, never really went away. Flag bearer for the sleazy right in the Tory party, Dr.Fox has been very busy cementing ties between his party and the Republican party in the US. He has been "advising" Mitt Romney on how the Prseidential candidate might wreck the American economy as the Tories have wrecked that in Britain while, at the same time, forcing the poor to pick up the bill. "We have much in common," Dr.Fox told our reporter. "Both parties are very keen Atlanticists and yearn for the good old days when Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Regan sold the neoliberal economic thesis to the peasants. We now have a valuable opportunity to turn the present recession into a full-blown depression with all the advantages that brings to people like us. We're already working on new wars that offer outstanding opportunities for profit and our American colleagues are very interested in plundering a privatised NHS. I know that Mitt has some rather strange ideas about abortion, religion and healthcare but, then again, so do I. The main thing is that both parties agree that poor people are to blame for everything and that creating more poor people will cure all our economic woes. Between us I believe we can create a world fit for bankers to live in."
