When the ship starts to sink...

I was talking to the Leader of a Conservative-run County Council today.

It seems he recently took a call from one of the Government's regional civil servants, working for one of the numerous unelected kwangoes in his area.

It seems the previously quite officious official could not have been nicer. He told my colleague that "we all know the Conservatives are going to form the next government - we're all very pleased". He went on to ask whether there were "any policies or thinking that we can start working on right now?".

So this is what happens when the ship starts to sink...?
