Oh gosh, me too. I think he's fundamentally a decent man but events are just running away with him. The thought of 10 years with David Cameron as PM is utterly sick-making.

GB is a fine human being but


a) He doesn't have some of the qualities for PM.

b) He has a tendency to surround himself with some fairly unpleasant individuals.

c) He has a love of complexity (cf pension credit etc.) I prefer simplicity, which everyone can understand. It is not fair that so many pensioners do not get a decent pension because of GB's introduced complexity. (And no, I'm not a pensioner.)

I don't by into this fundamentally 'decent man' bit by any stretch of the imagination...i see no evidence, he strikes me as pretty unpleasant to be honest


...he's often described as a politician from tip to toes which makes him SCUM ( ta Snorky) in my book.

He's made plenty of enemies

He doesn't look a team player at all

He accepts no blame

He doesn't appear to listen just 'tell'


These 5 alone account for many of the myriad mistakes his governemnt have made, in addition


He's hubristic

He doesn't really strike me as that 'clever' let alone intellectual

He's never done a proper job

He looks intent on holding on to his job at any cost to country, the economy, collegaes or his own health purely out of ego

He's chippy


I could carry on but basically he looks horrendously unsuited and out of his depth

I don't understand your dislike of David Cameron. We've had 12 years to assess GB and I think ????'s has made the point eloquently that he's flawed as a politician and as PM - I would add that his policies over the last 12 years have been for the worse rather than the better - his tendency to insist on Treasury control, his desire for micro management and set targets makes everything more complicated than it need be - and is a major flaw.


What exactly has David Cameron done - he's remodelled the Conservatives, developed a string of sensible policies, he is an eloquent and persuasive speaker that can think on his feet, he has proved he can take tough decisions quickly rather than procrastinate as GB does.

GB is directly or indirectly responsible fir most of our woes even if it was just a case of letting tony get away with stuff in the interests of his career.


I don't hold out much hope for cameron. A man who described himself as the real heir to Blair... Oh fuck.


The people around him don't strike me as particularly sharp either, just arrogant. We're basically doomed.

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
