Liam Fox

I'm just reading tomorrows news:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/9367381/EU-New-Tory-battle-lines-drawn.html

An article about David Cameron and the EU. That's fine. He's entitled to his opinion, and the telegraph are entitled to toe the conservative party line. That's fine, I disagree with them, but it's fine. What irks me enormously is the amount of air time Liam Fox still receives. Does this bother anyone else? Off course Liam fox, is too, entitled to his opinion, however, I don't believe he should be listened to as some sort of authority. It seems to me he's been exonerated by the press as if nothing happened; I seem to hear more about him now than when he was in cabinet.

Labour bloody hate him because he's a proper Conservative. Boohoo.

We don't need you to tell us it's fine! Of course it's bloody fine.

Edit: David Cameron looks like Mr. Creosote from Monty Python in that picture! Sorry David!

Obviously it's because he is able to speak now that is isn't in the Cabinet and 'Collective responsibility' no longer applies.
Personally I still love Liam Fox.

He was a high ranking minister at one point scandal aside and if the Telegraph want to give him the space to write that's their business no one else's as you say.
