Is Cameron that bad?

[localgirlwithdreads]

What are your thoughts on Cam? He utterly terrifies me.

[Brendan]

He?s worse.

[giggirl]

It would not surprise me at all if he ate babies for brunch. He is deeply, deeply, scary.

[woofmarkthedog]

Which one is he again ?

Oh yes, the one with the face like a "Gammon steak"

No, not my cup of tea that one

[SeanMacGabhann]

Worse than you all think. Combined

[ruffers]

No, but he is that bland.

[RosieH]

My friend of ages past fancies him.

We are no longer friends.

[Jah Lush]

He's a cunt

[????]

David Cameron, Gordon Brown..

...different toilet, same sh1t

[titch juicy]

but being the daft nation of eejuts that we are- we'll vote him in in the same way we (i'm not including myself in these we's) that we voted boris johnson in.

[????]

yeah, or keep a scheming, hubristic failure in who has led us to the edge of bankruptcy....lovely choices

[Brendan]

There aren't only 2 choices.

[????]

oh yeah, there's Thingy too

[jimmy two times]

Vote Gordon Brown and Labour. He doesn't have the dazzling smile, or the witty quips and he's getting on a bit but the man has integrity.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, the Lib Dem guy... Johnny Clegg.

And the Green Party. They're really good. And George Galloway.

[????]

oh idealism.........that's just spin, where oh where is the integrity of this Labour governmnt and Tony Blair's predecsor of which GB was at the very centre? Beats me.

[jimmy two times]

I think he has conducted himself, under enormous and unfair pressure at times, with good grace and in an honourable manner. To me that says something about the man.

[????]

enormous and unfair pressure go with the job

Good grace and honourable......won't admit mistakes, completley lost the respect of the parliamentary press for briefing them that Darling was going and then denying it a barefaced lie, won't accept blame, a dirty operator which is why he has a fair few enemies in the Labour party - I'm not sure he's really that decent

But basically, and at the heart of it I don't think he's up to the job, don't get me wromg I'm not convinced that Cameron is by any means either

I'm hoping for a hung parliament and will vote tactfully to try achieve that, which I guess in Dulwich will probably mean voting for Thingy

[Brendan]

The labour/tory power base is the whole problem. A government will never actively do things which benefit society unless they are under pressure to because of strong opposition. The Lib Dems are the only viable opposition. Labour and the conservatives are just 2 sides of the same coin that represent different tribal interest in the country. Tribal interests which are becoming increasingly insignificant.

On another level the Lib Dems are the only party whose ideology isn?t either distasteful to anyone without some form of antisocial personality disorder or basically non-existent. That?s not to say that if they were given the unchallenged power that Labour have had over the last era they wouldn?t also turn into slimy, rancid, scum. But for now they have something to prove and a mandate which contains a social conscience. Anyone who sees themselves as part of society rather than seeing society are something there to serve their ends, can?t possibly see the conservatives as the viable alternative.

[jimmy two times]

I think the pressure he has been under for the letter has been unfair and should not be consigned as 'going with the job'.

In fact I think a lot of the criticism he has received has been personal.

[????]

So do I and said so on that thread but the personal bit, it was ever thus. Goes with the territory, sorry.

[dulwichmum]

I must admit that I have been very impressed by Gordon and his big cardi and plaid bedroom slippers for rather a time. I did not like smarmy Blair and can't abide Cameron, but I will not vote labour again. The thought of their scheming, social engineering with the universities just turns my stomach.

It is all very well saying "of course a child going to a top performing independent school gets all a *s, but those kids have worked hard to be selected by those schools and work very hard for the grades they achieve. They should not be disadvantaged when it comes to university places. An equal playing field is an equal playing field. Taking away childcare vouchers from working families, struggling to pay the mortgage and to hold on to their jobs is insane.

This government needs to take a long break.

Where is Charles Kennedy when we need him? David Cameron is a big "I am" with a slight wheeze and a note for matron to excuse him from games. What can he offer anyone in this country? He has no credibility at all. He is "photo opportunity man" sitting on the tube, surrounded by photographers, cycling on his bike and followed by a gang of minders in a 4x4.

Fingers crossed.. I'm hoping that this could be the year when the Liberals get back into power.

Shame about 'The Clegg' though. Personally I still miss Paddy's 'military squint'.

Don't you mean 'have been worked hard to get selected by those schools'?

Can you imagine if Winston Churchill was prime minister now with regards to the current media scrutiny and how he would be torn apart by it. Not only was he not a glamorous or handsome man, but he had a speech impediment, was an alcoholic, suffered from depression and was a controversial home secretary, being very heavy handed in his dealing of the siege of Sydney Street and the Tonypandy Riots. Not to mention his wilderness years.Yet he redeemed himself by leading our country to victory in the second world war.
