Via Andrew Brown I discover that more than half the Government Art Collection (about 7,000 works) is now online . The originals are displayed in Government buildings here in the UK and around the world and it's administered by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Worth a browse for anyone interested in art and, for those happy few like me who are interested in politics as well, it's a particularly intriguing collection. From Rubens & Tintoretto to Bacon & Lowry - well worth a visit.
And as for that mischievous post title? It actually refers to the Scottish painter who died in 1945, more famed for his etching than his painting in fact. The picture to the left, 'Culloden Moor', is an example of Cameron's work - he's known for his barren, dimly lit landscapes, bleak vistas suggestive of despair in the human soul and the pitiless nature of man's being. You're thinking of David Cameron, honourable member for Witney and leader of the opposition. Different David.
No jokes please...

Seems to me that's our landscape in the not too distant future too.
Particularly if Iain Dale has his way.
He can't seem to tell the difference between frontline jobs and bureaucrats. He is throwing his toys. Comments and links welcome.
