to think that David Cameron is an utter, utter twat

Ok, full disclosure, I'm a (c/C)onservative.

That said, David Cameron is so utterly fucking ghastly.

Just listening to the news and he was refuting claims by Gordon Brown that a deal had been done with News International. Cameron said something like 'He's just saying that because he's jealous that the Sun deserted him', and there was just something about his tone that made me think 'you are a twat'

And it's not because he's posh, I don't have a problem with posh politicians, it's the Ruperts I don't like.

No better than Blair.

Any of their past leaders would be better.

Precisely Ruby - show me one that isn't a bellend and I'll get off the cynical platform. Milliband is another bellend who'd sell his own grandmother for a chance of power. They all would. I don't believe any of them want to change anything.

LentillyFart · 14/06/2012 17:35

And as for yellowraincoat accusing someone of 'not being a fan of the poor' - that's just bloody rude. You can't possibly know what that poster is or isn't a fan of.

I prefer the glazed ham comparison myself. Grin
I hate the man. I have an overwhelming urge to want to stick pins in his eyes whenever I see him.

PandaWatch · 14/06/2012 17:37

What Lentilly said.

RubyFakeNails · 14/06/2012 17:39

Generally I'm a labour voter but fuck me Milliband is not someone I can happily support.

Also what is going on with his face?! Is his mouth at war with the rest of it?

Poulay · 14/06/2012 17:39

I thought John Major was good. A nice grey dull civil servant.

Milibland and Clegg are no better than Cameron of course.

Politicians are either motivated by power or by extreme ideology, it seems.

even Blair was better.
he is the pits, cannot stand him he is the ultimate con man

Rosebud05 · 14/06/2012 17:41

Yes, he's a complete twat through and through.

cory · 14/06/2012 17:42

"No better than Blair" sums it up for me. All spin, no convictions.

2shoes · 14/06/2012 17:42

at least Blair didn't target the disabled.

LentillyFart · 14/06/2012 17:42

Of course it shouldn't matter what somone looks like should it? It's a low blow and an uninventive insult. However - Milliband does rather look like the love child of Mr Spock and Jeff Goldblum!

PandaWatch · 14/06/2012 17:43

Lentilly and Ruby = Grin

Sittinginthesun · 14/06/2012 17:43

I never ever use the word twat in RL , but whenever I see him on telly in the Commons, this is the word that jumps into my head. There is just something smug about him. He thinks it is just a game, rather than real lives being affected by his decisions.

scarlettsmummy2 · 14/06/2012 17:44

Can I just say that I am not a massive raving fan of David Cameron, I just think he seems fairly pleasant and hasn't done anything that has really annoyed me! I am from Belfast and in comparison to the politicians over there (ex terrorists/ wife beaters/ raving homophobes and religious fundamentalists) he seems positively normal!

RubyFakeNails · 14/06/2012 17:49

DH and I play a game called Malcolm Tucker.

Whenever there are politicians on, particularly making cock ups we try and come up with what would Malcolm Tucker say to this.

Shouting things about horse cocks at the tv definitely lightens the mood.

I always think Cameron has a sort of 1950s poster look about him, all rosy cheeked and smug.

However I shall now be calling him David Hameron, he most definitely is a glazed ham!

yellowraincoat · 14/06/2012 17:51

Just because the politicians in NI are twats doesn't mean that there aren't twats in England as well.

Poulay · 14/06/2012 17:51

Blair just bombed people instead.

See Ruby - in my ideal world Malcolm Tucker would be PM. You'd know where you stood and all would be well with my world!

scarlettsmummy2 · 14/06/2012 17:55

Yellow- you still haven't answered how he treats the rich more favourably than the poor? Don't make statements like that without a reason why.

RubyFakeNails · 14/06/2012 17:57

The Thick of It is like my porn. Malcolm really does it for me Blush Blush Blush he and Ari Gold from Entourage are my TV husbands.

Diane Abbott is my local MP I think I'd like her as head honcho of Labour.

If Milliband is still in by the next election I shall be voting Green.

yellowraincoat · 14/06/2012 18:03

scarlettsmummy2 Honestly? I'll make whatever statements I feel like.

There is an abundance of evidence. DLA. Benefits. Uni fees.

mathanxiety · 14/06/2012 18:09

'I don't think he really has any ideological political agendas, but falls back on those he was raised with. He has very little conviction, he just manages expectations.'

An acute observation there imo.

Not that I would prefer an ideological tory, but this one is a chinless wonder whose only personal ambition seems to be toadying up to Barack Obama and whose idea of policy seems to be swallowing American trends whole.

Clytaemnestra · 14/06/2012 18:18

On the other hand, Gordon Brown told some pretty stonking lies while he was giving evidence the other day. Really, he never told people to brief against anyone else? His department was sweetness and light and cupcakes?

I wish DC had a bit more of a clue/air of authority/whatever that thing is he seems to be lacking, but for general twattishness and blatent lyng under oath Gordon Brown wins at the Leveson Enquiry this week.

scarlettsmummy2 · 14/06/2012 18:32

Yellow- I am not disputing that he has made cuts. How though has he 'kept posh people posh'? What special treatment have they been given?

SerialKipper · 14/06/2012 18:42

Would that be the callmeDave who in yesterday's PMQs had a pop at a Liverpudlian's accent?

Steve Rotherham MP challenged him on the economy, and callmeDave's response was "I'm very pleased that the Education Secretary is introducing compulsory poetry reading lessons in class and perhaps we could start with the honourable gentleman."

Hmm
