Live webchat with David Cameron - this Thursday 19th, 1.45 pm

[JustineMumsnet]

Hello all - David Cameron is coming on to Mumsnet to answer your questions this Thursday at 1.45-2.45. Please post advance questions here if you can't make it on Thursday. (And please read our Webchat guidelines above before posting ie only one question each). Many thanks.

You know if I was doing this, I would read the questions on the thread (maybe the night before), type up some answers and then cut and paste them in, answering a few others as I went along. I'd probably explain that is what I was going to do so upfront. But what would I know, I'm only a mum and, goodness me, its 14.28 hrs and I am on the internet . I should be cleaning or something.

Gasp at MNHQ!

It's not just number of nappies btw- in Wales (well this part) you don't get any at all until they hit 7.

Anyone would think SSD provision for the disabled needs tearing apartand starting again a review........

The computers have got it in for him !

Not yet - tech problems, Lenin

AAgh I am now on Justines laptop as mine went bust. IT boffin next to me is trying to retrieve my last few answers.....

Lenin
I don't think he posted since you left. Quick nappy change that.

Maybe it's a tech thing, in which case fair enough. Obviously.

I'm embarrassed how rude and hostile people on here are being. Yuk

someone should be typing for him! make it a bloke so we don't get twitchy about gender based demarcation of roles.

he needs to declaim (in a non-waffley and speedy way) whilst someone as fast as me (80+ wpm) gets the answers up here.

Mr Cameron do you really think in a heathly democratic society we should really still be paying for minor Royals to lin in luxury and pampered Princesses to be followed everywhere (mainly London clubs) by highly trained Police officers?

Do we need a Royal Family? I vote NO!

You do realise if he agree to make more than 4 nappies for SN kids official Tory policy we're all going to be morally obliged to vote Tory.

And then I'll have to kill myself. Hara-kiri style. Scooping my bowels out with a laminated copy of Clause 4 retrieved from my dusty loft.

MadameDefarge - my point exactly, one integrated benefit system, different points cut in for families/disabilities etc - and tied to minimum wage so that you do not lose out by earning more. So if your income goes up by £10, your benefits come down by £9 etc. Not having to apply do different departments for each different benefit.

Is that the same tech who caused all the problems round here?

The IT boffin is genius (his job is safe) he has found my old answers

Poor old David. And those questions just keep coing

David Cameron

What is your take on parliamentary members of your party being prosecuted for fraud over the expenses scandal.

Considering this country is drowning in debt, how will you ensure that parliamentary expenses are monitored if you attain the role of PM?

Dont you think it is galling that liver cancer sufferers are refused life prolonging drugs by the NHS as they are deemed to be too expensive while MP's are living it large on hard working tax paying families money?

has anyone given birth whilst we've been waiting?

I reckon he's posting them on this thread

To Riven. On four nappies. I will look into this. With Ivan I don't remember being limited like this. The move to personal budgets and direct payments should help, but let me get back to you. I am sorry for not getting back to you re Bristol. Could you send your persoanl email to [email protected]. We have been looking for your letter, but a quick e-mail would get us onto the case.

What about having free residential homes for the elderly?
My MIL is in a home which is eating at her savings and it'll be about 4 months when we have to sell her house to pay for the rest. This is a woman who has worked and saved her entire life to be able to give something to her children (of which she has 4: 2 are now retired and living on state pensions, and 2 are working and can hardly afford their own bills. ) The children as adults do rely on the money that might have come to them on her death, but now they'll have nothing at all.
and that's quite stressful.

Quick nappy change there Lenin - must have been a smooth one (no up the back etc)

LOVE the argh. v human. i type it all the time. clearly it's not a slick well-oiled machine at central office then....
