Presiding over a government that is trying to spin doctors and teachers into militants ,

Supporting a chancellor that has failed to reduce the deficit by his own standards and has delivered two hated and u turning budgets in a row, over the death of the British Steel Industry, is attacking renewable energy in times of climate change, is taking support from the ill and disabled is and NOW he has admitted benefiting from TAX AVOIDANCE????!!!!
This is all wrong. How many more years of this?

I don't want a man who, by his own definition, does things that are 'not morally acceptable' making life changing decisions for the vulnerable in this country.

LikeDylanInTheMovies · 08/04/2016 21:20

we need these people otherwise you can say goodbye to your precious NHS, free policing, free schools, and a host of infrastructure projects.

Yes imagine if tax avoiders moved to another country and didn't pay tax there instead.

"we need these people otherwise you can say goodbye to your precious NHS, free policing, free schools, and a host of infrastructure projects."

The arrogance of that comment is astounding!!!

Yes, the NHS is precious! It is one of the greatest things we have in this country - but these people are systematically destroying it.

The same for "free" schools.

I am another one, long in the tooth who hasn't seen a more disasterous government than this one. Its actually horrible.

As for the pig fucker, i wouldn't expect anything different.

However i think it would be a bad thing if he were to resign just now, lets get the EU elections out of the way, then sack the bastard.

He knows he's leaving after the referendum. He's just trying to hang on until then.

wasonthelist · 08/04/2016 22:12

I see the Cameron apologists go quiet when asked a tricky question.

Two of us have asked why he apprently needed to be in Panama to make trades in US Dollars - answer came there none.

fuck off where radical rooster? canada? norway? new zealand? denmark? or loads of other great countries ? not sure i see your point.

the argument up the thread about the top tax earners being needed for the economy, let them all fuck off to other countries too then. They won't take their jobs with them, if some freelance actuary working in financial services got the hump that a loophole was closed and they had to pay correct tax on their lubricous earnings and left to move to another country, they wouldn't take their job there. It would become an opportunity for someone else. and maybe those who won't avoid paying their fair share of tax. can but hope not every high earner is a selfish and greedy .

He's a slime ball with a good stylist.

I wouldn't trust him or his mates to tell me the right fucking time.

Excellent point. I will definitely vote tory next time.

Ah yes, the myth of the Scandinavian Utopia. Even the Guardian has wised up to that one.

www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/27/scandinavian-miracle-brutal-truth-denmark-norway-sweden

Canada? Prior to Trudeau it had a right wing Government that made GW Bush look like Che Guevara. No reason why that wouldn't happen again. New Zealand? Backward, isolated and insular. How about France? Lovely, apart from the unemployment and the phenomenal rise of the right wing obviously. And the whopping terrorism problem. What about Italy (Hugely corrupt), Spain and Portugal (bankrupt former military dictatorships, the tinge of which still lurks under the surface). Germany (Pegida on the rise, in the grip of powerful industrialists), Eastern Europe (Far right on the rise), Balkans (same) Russia (violent and corrupt kleptocracy), USA (if you hate the Tories, you'd hate it more there) South America (largely fucked), Africa (almost entirely fucked), Middle East (ha ha ha, good one), India (corrupt), China (Even more corrupt), Australia (lovely attitude towards immigrants and refugees, not, and currently presided over by a multi-millionaire former venture capitalist and investment banker, so rich he makes Cameron look like a beggar), fuck me the list could go on and on but I can't be bothered.

But yeah, much better to sit here whining about being oppressed by the most evil government in history.

jellyfrizz · 08/04/2016 23:28

But yeah, whining about people whining is a really valuable use of time.

FelicityFunknickle · 08/04/2016 23:31

I dont expect to have to fuck off anywhere.
I would quite like to stay here, doing my job, paying my taxes, and raising my family. I would also like the uk's political leaders to not lie about their finances while breezily bestowing hardship upon our vulnerable people.

If Cameron truly believed he or his father hadnt done anything wrongl why did he attempt to cover it up claiming it was a private matter??

Radicalrooster · 08/04/2016 23:51

Perfectly valid use of my time, thanks. That, and watching people frothing at the mouth about a fabricated scandal that they would happily gloss over were it found to have been committed by a Labour leader. But hey, happy for Cameron to get the chop. That just brings other more committed Conservatives into the frame. Win-win them.

These are the facts: whatever the ideological demographics that tend to predominate in the tiny and rather bizarre world that is the MN political universe, the fact is that the British people are, by and large, content with the Government we have and will never again tolerate the 'Left' getting into power.

candykane25 · 08/04/2016 23:57

Radical I think it's been stated a few times that we know it's possible that a labour MP might have done the same. You'll find that us lefties are a pretty fair bunch.

GraysAnalogy · 08/04/2016 23:57

fabricated scandal that they would happily gloss over were it found to have been committed by a Labour leader

Really? Where's this logic from?

Funny how Iceland stood up and got a resignation. But we are supposed to accept it, make excuses and then ignore. Pack your shit up guys it's a PM. If it's Starbucks, Google or Jimmy Carr go crazy but if it's the person who helps run your country nah it's legal don't you know.

Despite the fact we are constantly 'in this together' and have been forced to pay off this deficit, of which the most vulnerable have been made responsible for, it's a bit fucking rich for someone to hide funds so it can't contribute to the country and thus it's people.

candykane25 · 08/04/2016 23:59

And I don't recognise what you are talking about radical. Never again you say? Ooh.

Valentine2 · 09/04/2016 00:02

Rooster
I think you need to look at some of the new figures of popularity ratings of both Tories and Labour again. There is plenty time before the next elections and Corbyn is getting ahead for the first time. So keeping my fingers crossed.
It's a scandal and I don't think majority believes that being Labour/Tory has anything to do with it. What makes us feel rotten is that it's from someone who is squeezing the money from helpless and poor sections of the society but letting the filthy rich get away by not facing them enough.
And no, going away is no option for everyone. I am here to stay and feel it's best to start cleaning your home of its dirty rather than looking for a new one which may or may not be dirty anyway.

Valentine2 · 09/04/2016 00:04

Yeah I was writing to you Radicalrooster

Valentine2 · 09/04/2016 00:05

Wanted to write "not taxing them enough"

Valentine2 · 09/04/2016 00:59

To anyone who is interested and can make it:
The #resigncameron protest starts at 11.00am tomorrow. 10 Downing Street (as near as possible I guess) and the dress code has a carribean theme to it. PANAMA HATS are specially welcome Grin

Two completely different situations though.
