Quote from Bruce Anderson, one of the Indy's token right wing
columnists (the other is a Mr D Lawson). The context is the challenge
presented to Cameron by the coherence of Brown's political narrative:
"... the wearing thin of the Thatcherite narrative. A blend of the
Parable of the Talents and the Gods of Copybook Headings, it could
easily come across as an ungenerous creed expounded by those who were
only happy when lecturing hungry sheep about the price of grass."
