   What, if 'avian flu' doesn't get there first?   
      
   Gordon Brown has got a Bilderberger ticket too. And it's probably only a   
   matter of time until Peter Hain gets one.   
      
   Elections are PR. They are about 'better the devil you know' versus   
   'time for a change'. It won't be Clarke.   
      
   In addition, he sells himself as 'pro-European'. Not the way to make   
   yourself popular in the Tory party or among, what is it, 10 million   
   people who read the 'Sun'.   
      
   What will happen has probably already been planned. If it's Davis versus   
   Clarke, Davis will win. If it's Davis versus Fox, who will Clarke   
   support? I don't know. Possibly Fox - it wouldn't surprise me. If it's   
   anyone versus Cameron, 'anyone' will win, but I will be amazed if that   
   'anyone' is Clarke.
