Thedelldays Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 fighting back the tears Dignified exit.. cameron must be on his way
bridge too far Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 What a cutie his youngest son is. Is he the one with cystic fibrosis? I welled up a bit
dune Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Just watched it live on SKY News. Thank god for that, 13 dark and dreary years of Labour are over.
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 What a cutie his youngest son is. Is he the one with cystic fibrosis? I welled up a bit I cheered.
Whitey Grandad Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I hope that history will treat him kindly. I think he thought that we was doing the right thing, but he has poured all our hard work down the pan.
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I'm not a Tory, I just think it is right and proper that Cameron becomes PM. It's the most democratic solution.
OldNick Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 He is gone, and I wish him well where he can do some good.
dune Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I hope that history will treat him kindly. I think he thought that we was doing the right thing, but he has poured all our hard work down the pan. History will remember him as the man who spent all the money during the good times and left the cupbaord bare. History will also remember him as the unelected Prime Minister that everyone hated.
OldNick Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 History will remember him as the man who spent all the money during the good times and left the cupbaord bare. History will also remember him as the unelected Prime Minister that everyone hated.That is a bit harsh. He like Blair have a false reputation of providing the golden years. He after all saved the world. lol Go to America and they adore Blair when the majority here dislike him.
bridge too far Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I wish him well too. I think he is an honourable and principled man with sound values. I think he intends to do voluntary work although some pundits are saying he should be involved in the global financial institutions given his sound knowledge of economics and the high regard he is held in in those institutions.
Matthew Le God Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Just watched it live on SKY News. Thank god for that, 13 dark and dreary years of Labour are over. 18 years of Thatcher and Major was a bundle of laughs?

He after all saved the world. lol Go to America and they adore Blair when the majority here dislike him. Not harsh at all. He told everyone that boom and bust was a thing of the past so he sold our gold for peanuts and ran a budget deficit during the good times. Brown is a moron that has left this country in a right mess. I will never have good word for him.
NickG Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Cameron will be hated in 6 months, it comes with the job personally think its all a mess and image over substance
Johnny Bognor Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I wish him well too. I think he is an honourable and principled man with sound values. I think he intends to do voluntary work although some pundits are saying he should be involved in the global financial institutions given his sound knowledge of economics and the high regard he is held in in those institutions. I am glad he has gone. As another human being, I feel sorry for him, but he was the architect of his own downfall. .....but come on BTF, "sound knowledge of economics"......you're having a laugh. No more boom and bust, reducing NI is taking money out of the economy. He is at best naive, if not a liar. I think he should get a job at Ocean Finance as his knowledge of borrowing is second to none.
Wiltshire Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 What a cutie his youngest son is. Is he the one with cystic fibrosis? I welled up a bit Indeed. I welled up when I saw his spastic boy paraded in front of the cameras. That's what politics is all about isn't it? If only there was a Lab-Spas coalition.

He after all saved the world. lol Go to America and they adore Blair when the majority here dislike him. I strongly disagree with you. Most people I know like Blair. I like him.
SO16_Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Cameron will be hated in 6 months, it comes with the job personally think its all a mess and image over substance he's hated now. Did you not see the reception he (his party) got comingout the building where the negs have been taking place???
Thedelldays Posted 11 May, 2010 Author Posted 11 May, 2010 he's hated now. Did you not see the reception he (his party) got comingout the building where the negs have been taking place??? from about 100-200 of the great unwashed...?
OldNick Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I strongly disagree with you. Most people I know like Blair. I like him.You must move in some odd circles then. A man who took us to an illegitimate war. Lol
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I really don't think that the majority of the UK dislike him. Seriously.
SO16_Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 from about 100-200 of the great unwashed...? from little acorns.... It's still the case that circa 65% of the electorate didnt want the Conservatives, either.
OldNick Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 he's hated now. Did you not see the reception he (his party) got comingout the building where the negs have been taking place???yep a load of ultra left wing out of work lay abouts. They would hate Brown as he would be seen as right wing in their eyes
bridge too far Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 from about 100-200 of the great unwashed...? DellDays in generalisation shocker - yet again Some people (who may be on holiday / retired / whatever) exercise their democratic right of protest and probably had a wash before they did so. Others, paid for by the taxpayer, exercise their democratic right on an internet forum possibly during their working hours. Splendid!
View From The Top Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 personally think its all a mess and image over substance And the debates are going to make it more so, which is a shame.
OldNick Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 from little acorns.... It's still the case that circa 65% of the electorate didnt want the Conservatives, either.I dont think that is correct. 30% didnt vote, and so you can't put them in your figures.
dune Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I strongly disagree with you. Most people I know like Blair. I like him. I think this is true.
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 from little acorns.... It's still the case that circa 65% of the electorate didnt want the Conservatives, either. It's a lib/Con coalition.
Thedelldays Posted 11 May, 2010 Author Posted 11 May, 2010 from little acorns.... It's still the case that circa 65% of the electorate didnt want the Conservatives, either. and even less wanted the others...so who takes charge..?
SO16_Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 I dont think that is correct. 30% didnt vote, and so you can't put them in your figures. so, arguably 65% of that additional 30% wouldnt want them either...?
SO16_Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 It's a lib/Con coalition. no - it's the CONDEM coalition...
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 And the debates are going to make it more so, which is a shame. If anything, the debates showed that the British public are not easily fooled. In general the lib dems did the best in the debates yet they appear to have had little impact. When I saw how badly the lib dems had done in the election it made me proud of the British people.
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 no - it's the CONDEM coalition... Lol. Like it.
OldNick Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 so, arguably 65% of that additional 30% wouldnt want them either...?Not at all, you could argue that 100% or 0%.
SO16_Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Not at all, you could argue that 100% or 0%. fairdy well! best of a bad bunch, but you cant please 100% of the people 100% of the time
NickG Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 he's hated now. Did you not see the reception he (his party) got comingout the building where the negs have been taking place??? no missed that
SuperMikey Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Say what you like about him, I quite liked Brown. Thought he got a lot of unfair flak just for being PM at a difficult time for the country, although he obviously had a hand (quite a big one) in our financial demise. I just don't like Cameron, and I think he'll find it quite a tough job to win over the public and sort out the country as well.
SO16_Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 it's quite a momentus day really. 4 years ago the News coverage was not as in depth as this and i dont remember (well enough) when Major was ousted by Blair so this is the first time i've seen this happen. quite exciting really. It's quite a elongated progress and very historical
LGTL Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 He got a lot of flak just for being Scottish, let alone being PM.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 just watched it live on sky news. Thank god for that, 13 dark and dreary years of labour are over. delete this part of the forum!
