If there were to be a televised debate between David Cameron and Gordon Brown, then would anyone be able to understand what Cameron was saying? His accent is now so strong that is almost incomprehensible, a sure sign of never mixing with anyone who does not speak in that way, in his case Upper Upper Class (for so anyone who can get into the Bullingdon Club undoubtedly is – Osborne was nearly kept out for being the son of a mere baronet, whereas Cameron sailed in).
There is also the related question of the time delay that would be necessary in order to cope with Cameron’s, likewise very public school, treatment of the most extreme profanity as normal speech. When he says that he didn’t think that one of the three or four most obscene words in the language was rude at all, then he was being entirely sincere.
As with the definition of cocaine use as “normal”, as with the membership of an organisation dedicated to criminal damage and assault, and as with the bragging about how he was so promiscuous that he had to be tested for venereal disease, it is clear that David Cameron is not just intellectually and politically unfit for public office, although he certainly is. It is perfectly clear that David Cameron is morally unfit for public office.

Of course David were you not a member (and indeed President) of an exclusive self selecting, mostly public school doinated dining society at Univeristy. I seem to remember you got in as your Father had been an Archdeacon which , at the time, nade yu look respectable.
ReplyDeleteI got in the usual way, although it is true that the then Acting Principal had worked with my father and the then Senior Tutor had served with him in the Army (30 years before I was born). So what?
ReplyDeleteAs for being respectable, I am still a tutor at the same university, and the same college rather touchingly remains in close contact, with one of its senior officers a member of the Facebook Group "David Lindsay for North-West Durham MP". The SCR Secretary runs my Lay Dominican group. And so I could go on.
The Club in question was only about fifty per cent public school, a much lower ratio than College at large. And it actively kept out people who engaged in disorderly behaviour, vandalism and assault, of which there was rather a lot at the time. It was a haven from Cameron-type conduct. Indeed, it may still be. I'd have to check.
