I've just sat this morning and seen a Tory Shadow chancellor sit and say with an absolutely straight face that "the conservative party has never been in Favour of Laissez-faire capitalism and has always favoured stronger regulation in the financial markets"

then seen the leader of the party railing against executive pay.

Am I awake, or is it some wierd dream I'm having?

We've always been at war with Oceania.
And as we long ago found out from Alice, that is down the rabbit hole.
