Is Cameron's Accent Getting Posher?

I'm sure it is. And I know why: since becoming Leader, he has not needed to, and therefore he does not, have any contact whatever with anyone who does not, when surrounded only by their own kind, speak in absolutely the poshest way imaginable.

    Pickles is strictly for the telly. If even Osborne were not a Bullingdon Boy and the heir to a baronetcy, then a mere Saint Paul's oik would never be allowed anywhere near Cameron.

    That is one of the longest, and most unintelligible, sentences I have ever seen. Have you never heard of punctuation?

    This is a blog for properly educated people. You should try Popbitch.

    Or anything enthusiastic about David Cameron. Except that there aren't any.

    Which sentence does he mean? I can't see it.

    Riz, like Cameron, only went to university because there were no grammar schools to keep him out.

    I know, I can't see which one he means, either.

    And of course you are quite right. Thank you for bringing things back on topic.

    With a short a. I am in Durham as I write, but not in the University for about a month.

    I haven't heard you use a short a for many years, if ever. Are you practising it to get the vote out?
