Always be aware when reading @RColvile that he is a Thatcherite in the 21st Century: think of this as a manifestation of Political Fiction, akin to Science Fiction, or a variation on that once genre of ‘Futurism’? Or have I gone too far?
The ‘as if’ of his political existence, as apologist/propagandist for that misbegotten Austrian Economic Theology, still enjoys popular enthusiasm.
