Clicked into this thread hoping for a Naked Gun type bathroom escapade.

Very disappointed.

Charlie Brooker describes Dave™ best

In Scotland, David Cameron is less popular than Windows 8. He’s the physical embodiment of everything a fair percentage of Scottish people hate: a ruddy-faced old Etonian walking around like he just inherited the place, sporting a permanently shiny chin as though he’s just enjoyed a buttery crumpet in front of the cricket.

recylingbin

Lord, grant that David cameron,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save The Queen.

Everybody now.

I was hoping he'd said something like: "Excellent, our plans to crush the poor and fleece the entire country for the benefit of our already-rich mates are going along nicely"

Easiest way for a Brit to impress a yank is to name drop the Queen.
Twill be an interesting chat, the next time he's at Buckingham Palace for his weekly update...."Well Dave, is One purring now?"

This gaffe by Cameron appears to have revealed that David Icke was wrong, the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Windsor are felines rather than lizards? :pac:

Cameron represents everything imperialism once stood for. Yet he was able to attract the youth vote by copying Blair in every aspect except in Political policy and family heritage.

His comments made in Pakistan (i think) and his reaction to the Bloody Sunday enquiry would suggest he is a bit more switched on than you would normally expect someone from his background to be.

I couldn't stand the guy originally, but he is growing on me. That said, so is Ed Balls.

I'd get that looked at if I were you.

of course he represents everything you stand for:pac:

Cameron, in spite of the very dubious historical allusions that are being heaped on him, is very likely just a standard career politician. Perhaps a bit more skilled at climbing the greasy pole than others, but recognisable as the same species as inhabit the hothouse of Dail Eireann.

Cameron was elected as a 'liberal conservative' and was hated (to some extent still is) by the right of his party.

He is basically in the tradition of patrician One Nation Toryism rather than Thatcherism.

That said his appeal in places like Scotland and the north of England is always going to be near zero.

There's nothing particulalry outrageous about his comments. Perhaps name-checking the Queen wasn't the wisest thing to do or hinting at her feelings on the referendum (which were meant to be officially neutral).

You said balls. :-)

I don't see how anyone can have a problem with it. He name drops the queen but in a good way that will satisfy Scots because she's clearly very happy Scotland stay in Britain and he's clearly very happy about it too, he doesn't say anything negative.

I met that David Cameron down the pub, he was blabbling about his conversations with the queen, what a name-dropper.

He's a normal bloke. What did you expect. This guy went down the pub for lunch and left a kid behind - accidentally, of course;). Wanting to hang a polling company or two is just a display of intelligence.

Like Kenny here, Cameron will be seen as one of the most pragmatic and considered prime ministers' that the UK has had. History will look kindly on both of them. This doesn't suit the narrow and cynical worldview of those with the usual tired ideological perspective so prevalent around here.

Richard Hillman

David Cameron will go down as one of Britains Greatest PM's.

Was hoping more on the lines of Gordon Brown's bigoted old woman remark.

A less sycophantic appraisal would remember them as apparatchiks for a bankrupt system that bailed itself out at the expense of the public. Between them they have the charisma of a bowl of boiled turnip.

Wait until he can't deliver and the whole place implodes.

Charisma? Seriously?

Get back to watching the X-Factor. We need more in our public servants than "charisma".

FloatingVoter

Once boiled turnip was mentioned, Ed Millibland came to mind. Charismatic leaders of note throughout history include

Stalin
Charles J Haughey
Margaret Thatcher
Julius Caesar
Napoleon
....a German lad with a 'tache (Godwin something or other)

Do you often have arguments with yourself?
