In thinking David Cameron has the complexion of a used condom and is a untrusworthy sneak. Therefore can never be prime minister ??

I liked Gordon Browns idea of raising the minimum wage, thus resulting in less being paid in tax credits, can't see DC going with that tho, the profits of the wealthy must come first

And DC reminds me of the class snitch, failing that, lord snooty.

ds(18) reckons DC looks like he has been photo shopped

gaelicsheep · 07/05/2010 21:57

And Gordon Brown is trustworthy how exactly? I've lost count of how many times he's been caught lying over the past few months.

SwissMonsterRavingCheesyParty · 07/05/2010 22:01

have you

At least his heart seems to be in the right place, know who I trust !

OH YES secondcoming - that is just what Clegg look slike

gaelicsheep · 07/05/2010 22:08

So dishonesty is OK if it's for the right reasons (ie serving Labour party interests)? Even if his heart is in the right place and these were all genuine errors, that is no excuse for incompetence.

SwissMonsterRavingCheesyParty · 07/05/2010 22:13

Ah, but think of all the children Labour have helped drag out of poverty....Labour try to do there best for those who need extra support, the conservatives help the greedy buggers. If they get in, we are doomed.

The thread was about Gordon Brown though, not Labour as a whole.

jeananddolly · 07/05/2010 22:16

Used condom v. good. But never mind that.

Our next Prime Minister used to do the PR for Carlton TV.

I'll repeat that.

He did the PR for Carlton TV...our prime minister. That was his main civilian job. Doing the PR for Carlton TV...

Weeps...

gaelicsheep · 07/05/2010 22:17

Sorry, it was about David Cameron personally of course. Hence my rebuff about Gordon Brown.

SwissMonsterRavingCheesyParty · 07/05/2010 22:26

Gordon brown is labour when it comes to the big stuff

And i've changed my mind......... he looks like he has a balloon stretched over his head.

"Doing the PR for Carlton TV... "

and pissed off so many journalists with his wankish attitude whilst he did this job, he's had to spend a lot of time schmoozing them back onside.

Why do you think it was so very very important he got the Murdoch's on his team?

There's a lot of muck being held back about DC and Gideon right now.

jeananddolly · 07/05/2010 22:45

I heard that. IGUN.

Henny1995 · 08/05/2010 01:52

I like him. I think he's passionate and committed. And actually not bad to look at.
Brown annoys me as he was never elected and everything he touches seems to turn bad. Nick Clegg was perfectly described by thesecondcoming in the post above. Plus, he was being massively arrogant and idealistic.
So in answer to your question, YABU in my humble opinion and I think he deserves a chance, given that he got the highest percentage of the public vote.

GardenPath · 08/05/2010 02:22

I have two things to say on DC: Bullingdon Club - I remember them well.

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 08/05/2010 08:44

I wish people would stop going on about the fact that Brown was not elected.

That is not the system that we have in this country. Fair enough, you can argue that people do vote for the leader in reality, but in fact, we vote for a party. Not one person. When you vote for a party, you accept that the leader might change.

When we voted for Labour, Tony Blair was in charge, Brown was Chancellor. So if we want to re-vote when Blair stands down, do we also re-vote if someone leaves as Home Secretary? What about if Brown had stepped down as Chancellor? Because that was what we voted for, a package?

No! You vote for the party, not the leader. Of course, in this day, the leader has become this selling point as we seem to pretend that we move towards Presidential style politics, but we DON'T have that and I wish poeple would stop blithering on about it.

That photo of DC and the Bullingdon Club actually makes me feel sick.

In fact every time I see him on the tv, I turn over immediately, his smooth, smug, plump, priviledged face makes me angry and restless and this is before he even opens his mouth.

curryfreak · 08/05/2010 10:27

He makes my skin crawl.
Has the look that most of the upper classes have,- inbred and not unlike a horse. That's a bit unfair to horses actually!

nighbynight · 08/05/2010 10:51

Agree about the general horribleness of the bullingdon club.
In the 1992 photo, the blacked out figures cant be Gove (not posh enough to be in the bullingdon) or Vaizey or Adam Bruce, because they had both left Oxford by then.

itsababslife · 08/05/2010 20:43

I bet he has a moist handshake. [shudder]

Did anyone see one of the cartoons in the guardian today? DC with head shaped like a condom.

Did the cartoonist read this thread or maybe even write it??
