David Cameron's former
director of strategy says Tony Blair warned him about a ‘deep state’ conspiracy
Steve Hilton says the
former Prime Minister told him the civil service 'believe it’s their job to actually
run the country'
Well, those nasty little civil servants aren't very
effective, are they?
They let Tony Blair get away with mass murder in Iraq, and
they let David Cameron pull one of the great blunders of the century with his
bone-headed referendum.
Please, a note on the use of the term "Deep
State."
It is not the civil service to which this term is usually
applied. Indeed, I think it quite misleading to use it this way.
It is the hidden rulers - the plutocrats and special
interests supported by security and military services - that are the Deep
State.
Tony Blair served them faithfully. That's why he got an
Israel Peace Prize and a whole lot of sinecures.
So did David Cameron serve them, although far less
successfully owing to his basic lack of competence.
