To wonder if people like David Cameron ever feel shame?

I dont think he does

@ChiefInspectorParker

I think Cameron, Johnson and Blair are quite different psychologically.

Johnson strikes me as a psychopath. He’s definitely got no inner moral compass.

Blair I think is someone who sort of drank his own kool-aid. Because a lot of his decisions were good and because of the fatal left-wing flaw of believing you occupy the moral high ground, combined with his religious leanings, he developed a sort of Messiah complex. I don’t think he is actually ‘bad’ person.

David Cameron seems like a typical slightly dim, arrogant posho, surrounded by people like him, who succeeded beyond his abilities and ran away when things got difficult. I don’t think he feels shame (maybe embarrassment), I certainly don’t like or respect him, but he has good qualities as well as bad - eg he seems to be a loving husband and father (as does Blair).

I’d probably agree with this assessment. Cameron seemed like he wasn’t really all that keen but on being PM for his whole tenure.

This is an interesting article; written before the news of Cameron's profits from the Greensill affair became public:

Note the line about DC having received a recommendation from Buck Palace with regard to his first job in the Tory party, which rather belies the argument that the monarchy does not embed privilege in to the very heart of British society.

David Cameron probably does not feel any sense of shame. However, I am 100% certain that if he was our Prime Minister now, the response to the pandemic would have been better and led to much fewer deaths. Though I would probably say that about every Prime Minister in history, compared with Boris Johnson.

He was paid £7m working for Greenshill , attended board meetings , lobbied for government loans and sucked up to the Saudis. Yet appeared to have missed the fact it was a fraudulent company borrowing money it could never pay back.

He is a conman pure and simple. It was as clear as day and I will never really forgive those who fell for his smooth talking and voted the smarmy bastard into Number 10. His austerity politics broke Britain while he himself has made millions- but yes 'we are all in this together'

Exactly this! He can hardly claim ignorance, which he tried to do, when the minutes showed he attended board meetings. He basically lent "legitimacy" to a fraudulent operation.

The likes of Cameron and Johnson know no shame Bullingdon Boys through and through

People like Cameron and Johnson are raised & educated to believe that they are better than the vast majority of people in this country. They don't care about us little people; we're just an inconvenient means to an end. They want only recognition, money and power. They have no conscience.

You need to have a good look at Tony Blair, the multi millionaire

His family will not be the only one to benefit from slavery though. The Royal family benefitted too, which no one seems to want to talk about.

This.
