David Cameron is a total bellend.

[Verbal]

At least Cameron gives the loony left an outlet for their banal playground humour.

 

 

Ah, so I imagined all the garbage about how a lisp makes someone unelectable, did I? Or was that the point you're making by trying to talk with your tongue in your cheek?

[bridge too far]

He doesn't even have a lisp, though, does he. He has, I suspect, a problem with his adenoids.

 

At least he says 'town' and 'down' properly, instead of 'tayn' and 'dayn'.

 

*tongue in cheek smiley for Trousers' benefit*

[Wade Garrett]

He's an Eton toff and yet compared to Gordon Brown he's a man of the people.

 

You only have to look at the way Brown behaved when his spin Doctors allowed him to meet ordinary people. Turning up at Gillian Duffy's house and standing on her doorstep, like a 2 bob Neville Chamberlain " I have today managed to get an apoligy accepted by Mrs Duffy", was one of the most pathetic and demeaning sights ever seen of a British Prime Minister.

 

Who were Brown's advisers through all those years, who were his closet political allies, The 2 Eds God help us.

 

Hard to disagree with that. I do admire the way he dealt with the banking crisis, but he was never going to win an election.

 

Labour have shot themselves in the foot by electing Ed. A far better alternative would have been Milliband D who could have got James Purnell back as well. Formidable opposition to the lamentable Cameron, Osbourne and Hague.

[Lord Duckhunter]

I think parties lose their heads after losing elections, and end up electing the wrong man. The Tories did it with Hague, whereas they should have held their noses and gone for Clarke. It would have reassured the public that they were going to be a reasonable opposition. I like Hague, but he was too right wing and close to Thatcher for the public at that particular time. When people were giving New Labour a chance and they were in a honeymoon period, the Tories needed someone like Clarke (despite the fact he's hardly a Tory at all). Same now, Labour should have gone with a safe pair of hands (my choice would have been Harmen). Instead of that they've gone with someone from the left, perceived as a union man, and a bit of a policy wonk. If they were going to go down the "next generation" route, should have gone the whole hog and gone for Mrs Balls.I think she's quite impressive and would have looked good against the boys club that appear to run the Tory party. The only issue is her judgement, look at her choice of husband..........

You've missed the big picture trousers. This could be the biggest bellend balls up of all. Turning the police into trade union militants just at the time that poll tax-scale rebellion is going to start to build is asking for the mother of all trouble.

The only time he looked uncomfortable was when those two girls asked him when he had his first kiss but they were fit so it would have been a bit awkward.

I have faith in the British public to react in an intelligent and pragmatic fashion rather than resort to the base human instinct of turning disagreements into a bun fight....ah, hmmm.....yes...sorry...I see your point now....

He carries himself well and is accomplished at public speaking/interviews. Contrast that with the lisping Millibean and his geeky persona. If he ever becomes PM it'll be a national embarrassment. DC is a Prime minister that we can feel proud of on the global stage. He's a good advertisement for Great Britain.

[Special K]

I was at UWE when his missus was there. I swear i tried to chat her up in the Tube Club one night (well she sort of looks the same as the bird on the end of my smooth patter), although i was bladdered and can only sort of remember it.

Tories have been embarassing over Libya Comrade Verbal but lets assess how the alternative got on. Against the wishes of all right minded people and our biggest ally America, they worked behind the scenes to release a convicted mass muderer on the basis that he had three months to live. To humiliating triumphant scenes they then lied to the world and blamed the Jocks (sorry is that racist?) for arranging the release of this terrorist. They also consistantly sucked up to Gaddafi and his brutal and vicious regime. At least teh Tories are trying to oust him. Loved to hear your thoughts on Labour and Libya.

If you read a detailed account of the trial, it's highly unlikely that he was involved. It's not he first time that political pressure for a conviction has led to innocent people being convicted (see Northern Ireland).

 

All governments deal with unsavoury regimes, especially if they've got lots of money (or oil). Look how Thatcher sucked up to that bastion of democracy Saudi Arabia (who recently announced that any form of anti-government protest was banned).

 

That rabid left-winger Prince Andrew was also mates with Gaddafi.

He was convicted in a court of law. You cannot release somebody early ojn the grounds that 'he probably did not do it'.

They probably thought that it was cheaper to release him "on medical grounds" than to have dodgy evidence come to light in a few years, a re-trial, aquittal and millions in damages. (Again, see Northern Ireland).

 

If you can afford expensive lawyers, "medical grounds" seems a good way of getting released. Remember Ernest Saunders, who was banged up for fraud, released due to Alzheimers and then made a remarkable recovery - the only person ever to do so.

[corky morris]

I listen to PMQ's a lot when i am in the car & the thing that strikes me the most about him is how personal he makes all his replies. He sounds like a bully who does not have a decent answer so calls you four eyes or fatso.

I also dont think he is very bright. He Fails to grasp the big economic issues & what really frustrates me is how he so aggressively went for Brown pre election for not getting voted in by the Country. He forgot about John Major & then conveniently forgets that he does not actually have a mandate to be our Prime Minister as he & his party did not get enough votes which is hugely hypocritical. Therefore for these things alone he is a "Bellend"
