The Conservative Party needs Don Camillo as leader, someone prepared to act, prepared to do the right thing, and prepared to kick doors down to make that right thing happen
Thanks for this post, glad there is a Dom Camillo fan out there. We forget it was written at a time of poverty and chaos in the aftermath of WW2 and with the Communists poised to take over. The Little World though is still a ‘somewhere’ world where we are friends and neighbours first. Our Conservatives have rather ruined this, treating us as economic producers and consumers. Liberals compound the problem - welfare, high immigration, rising crime make us a low trust society. Not sure how we get that back. Maybe if more of us followed Don Camillo and had a word with the man on the cross?
