What on earth is "cafe society" Mr Ezekiel?

In the "Isle of Thanet Gazette, Friday, September 29, 2006", Page 2, Council "leader" Sandy Ezekiel is quoted as saying "...it is one of our mainstays in the Conservitive group to promote cafe society."

My question is this - what on earth is he dribbling about?

Naturally I googled the issue. (for non technical users it means I used powerfull search engines to dig up more facts).

I found this:

"Our politicians display a new form of aggression that relies on a gesticulation more usually associated with Roman cafe society..." from: guardian.co.uk

Not really very informative for a "mainstays in the Conservitive group". So I continued to read down the search results and soon found this:

The newspaper reported that the Tories had signed up to support the organisation Conservatives Against a Federal Europe (Cafe).

But a Tory spokeswoman told BBC News Online that the reports were simply "a storm in a teacup".

Could Mr Ezekiel have confused "Conservatives Against a Federal Europe" with places you eat lunch?

It does seem so.

The article where the quote appears discusses the resignation of Cllr Jack Cohen who is quoted as saying that "...the leadership has lost it's way".

I'd say! It seems the "leadership" has no idea what it is talking about. I am no better enlightened.

Interestingly Cllr Kirby said: "I think this is a storm in a teacup."

This never ending supply of highly localised storms seems to be quite a problem for the Conservitive party.

So can any one please enlighten me as to this super secret "cafe society" which is a mainstay of the Conservitive group that no one has ever heard of?

Or is Sandy Ezekiel just a total berk?
