No

If he stopped claim for his moat cleaner, drawbridge wax and jousting helmet, and got her a nice pair of 36DDs on expenses, I might.

Worst thing about David Cameron is that he's not a character in a nasty dream but that he really exists and he's the new PM. I feel sick.

Second that, it's not even about the party he stands for, I just find him quite horrible, no not horrible, empty.

Yes I prefer the one eyed scottish goon too, As im not employed in the public sector I cant tell you how happy i was that my tax will have to increase to support the unsustainable growth in public sector employment and final salary pension schemes.

He did a good job regualting the financial services industry too and avoided a potentially nasty and expensive recession with his prudent management. Also the level of integrity he showed the country invading Iraq is unlikely to be met by Cameron. Personally as an Englishman it will be a dissapointment having an English PM with a mostly English cabinet. I always thought it much farer having a divolved scottish parliament and having a scottish cabinet. in westminster too.

The worst thing about Cameron is the un holy mess hes been saddled with.

Well said that man.

I don't even have to live there but it brings a tear to my eye what happened since 1997.

David Cameron looks and sounds so honest like he's a hard working man not wanting to destroy the UK.

Do you read the Sun?

He's never done a day of real work in his life.

Yeah....it's been so bad in the UK since '97 that it's no wonder the Tories swept to power in '01 and '05. And that landslide victory last Thursday! Wow!!!

If Cameron can admit that this country is better off now that it was 10 years ago (as he did in that speach outside No. 10) then maybe the Tory press will back off, look at the facts and maybe, just maybe, admit that we are better off.

Then the tabloid reading Tory sheep can follow....

Are you quite alright?

What is it about Politics that makes people so forgetful. Recession? Unemployment? Wars?
None of this ringing any bells?
How about we go back in history. Thatcher got vilified for closing mines that lost money, not a situation she could even control because of much cheaper coal coming from Siberia.
Brown created the biggest financial bubble in British history and when it burst he used your money to bail failed organisations out.
Oh and on the mines (which is what tired Labour supporters fall back on when they have no other reasonable recourse) Labour closed more mines that the conservatives.
Considering Labour is supposed to be a party for the working people they spent the last 13 years supporting big business buy outs of British firms with the jobs then exported to somewhere cheaper.

I refer you to my tabloid reading Tory sheep quote.

Now I'm off to celebrate the beginning of the end for Tory party.

Yes, I thought Cameron's speech was nicely judged in what it said about the outgoing administration. People forget, but due (partly) to the economic situation of the time, in '97, government investment in things like hospitals, schools, roads, rail - the infrastructure of the country had been appalling and that has been massively increased by the last administration. Yes, it has also resulted in massive government spending/borrowing, but you can't build these things with 5 bob hapenny. I think people are far too quick to go "they were crap" or "they are ace" without acknowledging that there are good things and bad things. I think the election showed that people were not convinced that the bad things were outweighing the good things, but more felt it was someone else's turn to try and make more good things (or probably less bad things)....

So you've got nothing. What a surprise.

For your information I have never read a tabloid in my life and I am not a Conservative supporter, I am just closer to them that any warmongering failures.

Talking of forgetful:-

Thatcher destroyed the manufacturing industry of this country

Hugely exanded the yuppie "Greed is Good" culture that stlll pervades most financial institutions

Sold off all public utilities so nothing ever gets fixed anymore as spending money on public infrastructure might upset the shareholders

Famously declared that society is not important

and many others things I'll probably remember later

Greed is good, the mantra of the unions today perhaps?

Thatcher removed the power of the Unions. Industry destroyed itself by becoming uncompetitive. Rightly or wrongly manufacturing costs in the UK are high due to the relatively high wages.

Free market forces decide whether an industry fails or not. You would be crying blue murder if your taxes went to build expensive ships and cars.
Thing is Thatcher privatised all the industries that had been taken over after WW2 but she also regulated them to compensate for the lack of government control. labour removed all the regulation, prices skyrocketed and now you can't afford a train ticket. Same with you 'nothing gets fixed any more' statement. only after Deregulation in the late nineties did these sorts of problems occur.

But after all, who am I to let rhetoric and tabloid headlines get in the way of the truth.

Or, arguably, recognized that cheap labour from the Far East would overwhelm stale businesses, and cut away dead wood in an attempt to get us to update while there was still time. And now we're the sixth largest manufacturing nation in the world, despite only being 22nd by population size.

Brown created the biggest financial bubble in British history and when it burst he used your money to bail failed organisations out.

So far wrong that it's unbelievable.
The GLOBAL recession was caused by the financial sector intiially in the US givning mortgages and other loans to people who had no way of repaying them and then some gamblers in "the City" packaging up said bad debts and selling them on between banks.
Brown didn't cause the recession and to be totally honest his handling of it has been pretty much correct.
It'll be interesting to see how the doppelganger of Piers Fletcher-Dervish - George Osborne fairs but i'd hazard a guess that he will stuff things up good and proper.

The tories are so far out of touch with reality and always have been that it beggars belief.

Keep reading the crap that's poured out via Newscorp and I'm sure you'll believe that the Tories are the saviour of the country - Murdoch has bought another election in another country[/quote]

passout

I like him but then I did vote Tory. All this stuff about him never doing a days work in his life (I assume you mean digging ditches and the like ) is balls - did Blair or Brown? In fact I bet most MPs and certainly those at the top put in longer hours than most of us.

Shame the Lib Dems are in too but at least Labour are out. Now for the cuts and the long road to recovery.......

I must say though that Browns speech was good and I do feel sorry for him on a personal level. In some ways I thought he was one of the better Labourites.

I believe he was chancelor or PM ultimatley resposncible for the Financial services sector including the manner in which they conduct themselves in for the entire period before, leading up to, during and after the problems. At what point did you decide he didnt cause or contribute through negligence arrogance and lack of intelect to the problem?

I remember well his comment about "ending the cycle of boom and bust". Either he meant that, in which case he wasn't prepared for the recession (which would explain why we're so much deeper in the hole than most nations), or he didn't mean it, in which case he was lying to glorify himself and Labour. Either way, your total honesty far outshines his.
