Question Time

Why were there such loud cheers for audience attacks on David Cameron? This was the South, after all.

And why did it take Bullingdon Dave Dimbleby to mention, anywhere on the BBC (or ITN, or Sky News), Bullingdon Dave Cameron's "fifty-two per cent" support? Even he only did so several minutes into the topic, after having exhausted all other options.

The failure to report what, only a week ago, would have been seen as the biggest domestic political news in half a generation is because, I suspect, the media are going off Cameron. Blair was never all that pretty, or all that posh, or all that rich (before or during his Premiership). And he took a Second in Law (read by very few political journalists anyway), not a First in Politics (in which many political journalists took Seconds).

If I am right, then look forward to a dramatic reduction in Cameron's poll ratings, in order to ensure publicity for the polls and the pollsters.
