Two Jags MkII: There aren’t many things David Cameron and John Prescott have in common. But here’s one... similarly extravagant travel arrangements

Interestingly comparing Dave to a NuLiebore figure of fun/hate. At least Prescott had a mandate to govern, eh?

The Mail do not like Cameron very much and never have. He is far too liberal for the loons that inhabiit the Mail message boards.

Problem is that Cam's a libertarian at heart (small government, increased freedom - including the freedom to fail and starve - along with personal responsibility) while the Mail believes in paradoxically small government for People Like Us, and increased authoritarianism for People Not like Us. Several Mail memes (more bobbies on the beat, an army to rival the US, more prisons, more control over them gayers etc) do not fit in with Cam's vision at all.

Indeed, such is my hatred of the Mail that in a fight between Dacre and Cameron (who believe me I loathe with a passion), I find myself screaming encouragement at the Bullingdon One, much as Charlie Brooker was last night over the SS vs the Viet Cong on "How TV Ruined Your Life".

I'd have thought 'letting the loons in' would suit Mailites. I expect some...er, passionate debate on the 'Yes to AV' threat.

And text-alerted numpties, of course.

I like the bit in the article from the Christian Legal Centre where the spokeswoman claims that Cameron is not aware of all the facts in the case. What a shame she is not prepared to spell out what these facts are, presumably they are the same facts that were put before the judge who rejected their arguments and found in favour of the council.

I think that by 'facts' they mean 'Gays is rong'.

Such a cunning and subtle argument.

What about tolerance towards this couple.-- wbrown, glasgow, 9/3/2011 8:40 ---------- No-one is refusing to tolerate them. They are absolutely free to practise their religion and express their religious beliefs. All that is happening is that they are being asked not to tell extremely vulnerable children that homosexuality is unacceptable if they are in charge of them. If they don't want to do that, they don't have to, but vulnerable children will not be placed in their care. As some of those children may be the children of gay parents or have gay siblings, obviously it would damage them to be told that people they love are not acceptable.

I wish one of the 23 red-arrowers could tell us precisely what they object to about that message. Are they unhappy that Mr and Mrs Johns are allowed to practise their religion freely? Are they unhappy that their perception that Christians are being persecuted is being dented? Or do they feel that young children in care with gay relatives should be told that the family they love are destined for purgatory?

In January 2008, a commuter complained that David Cameron, then the Leader of the Opposition sped through a set of lights in Parliament Square in London and almost hit him.

The commuter said: ‘He kept saying, “Well, I haven’t collided with anyone, have I?”

Cameron is a lycra-lout! :lol:

Cameron's war on double barreled names and Eurosceptics! Or alternatively she didn't do very well at the last election, and is only 31, has never even served as a councillor and has a career that amounts to writing for the Telegraph and Bill Cash.

Cameron's apparently waged war on someone called Deborah Dunleavy. Who achieved a massive 1.3% swing against Labour in 2010 and also didn't win. But a Mailite's found an excuse:

Deborah Dunleavy was a star her in Bolton at the last election and would have won if London had not forbade any mention of immigration or the EU. She is pro-life and does not stand a chance in Dave's Lib Cons.
- George, Bolton, 29/5/2011 09:31

Immigration didn't get mentioned by the Tories, eh?

She doesn't look a heavyweight from this

Why might Cameron want to have people who might win? He's a lunatic!

Melanie Philips thinks Cameron got a kaftan at Oxfam.

Quote:

Let's be honest: if it were not for the cuts and the NHS, Cameron would be every inch the same sort of suited centre-left toss pot that we have come to know and loathe. Foreign aid, grammar schools, law and order, and Europe? Forget it. The man is a fully paid up member of the Blair club. Sure he is a public school throwback when it comes to screwing the working classes, but as regards Britain, he is pro everywhere else.

Only in Mail land can you find people angry about how left wing Cameron is.

Tubby Isaacs · **Posted:** Mon May 30, 2011 3:20 pm

Wouldn't that make Thatcher leftwing?

I mean the real Thatcher, the one who was in office, rather than the one who popped up periodically to mess up John Major.
