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.

'decent typing speed' - yes. That, or, in Johnson style, an adoring superspeedy typist called Sue.

Yep - 'tis like a hot date bringing you Esso carnations

Have to say that DC was terribly uninspiring. Bland. No substance. Not that that is a surprise, just disappointing.

I can't even seem to find many of his responses; is there any way of filtering them rather than scrolling through 20+ pages? AAAAGH!

I get you morningpaper sorry I thought you'd got confused with DC riasing inheritance tax to 1 Million which won't involve any paying a lump sum.

The thing is with the 8k is that a lot of people will not be able to afford that as will end up paying for care themselves from the sale of their house and passing on nothing. This, I think, will happen to me. Also people will pay and not need a care home....

Yes - is it to be administered by insurance companies? surely they will ration access to care homes just as insurance companies in the States de facto ration access to health?

He was truly truly awful. Unprepared, pat answers.

I also really disliked the way he referred to "sure start " health visitors, capitalising on the good name of sure start centres while not committing to supporting them (badly put but you know what I mean)

like being given the present you gave his mother last christmas this christmas.

I see why he favours oatcakes - they are bland and mildly filling but you really hanker after something sweeter....

hmmph. I agree on top 10 questions to be voted on and then during the chat thread have some kind of filtering, because a 1 vs. 100 chat is not terribly viable.

Love the comment, twit, even if I still haven't managed to read the non-answers so don't know if it was justified. Can one of the journalists pull the answers into one place for me?

Is Nick Clegg coming - and a BNP guy, that would be really amusing?

GOtter

in any case, oatcakes with cheese is not a biscuit choice, in the same way that welsh rarebit is not a pudding choice, is it? Unless you have a dining-table which sits 18?

I think this shows a certain.. detachment from ordinary life.

bit grinny there sorry

oh yes Nick Clegg Griffin would be good.

So is the plan to have Nick Clegg on next??

Yooo hooo. MrBigTech. Can we have the 4 nappies emoticon please? Or NappyGate (nappy + gate)

To be used to mean: Look, this is really easy to answer, and to commit to, but you won't you slimy wriggler, will you?

I think such an emoticon has a definite permanent place on MN.

I think Mumsnet is a bit too left wing for him....

He didn't answer any of the questions that were posted in advance. It is a public website, so quite accessible.

Can you imagine if he was that unprepared for PMQs?

hells bells you may have a browser option edit - fid in page so can type his name in.

Other than that just read the sorry blogs in the guardian etc.

I wish I had seen this earlier.

I would have liked to ask David why he is so cagey about his wealth.

Yes. Did you see the State schools comment? Which ones I wonder? The sort very rich people can afford to move into the catchment area for?

I want more clarification/ speculation on his use of (not)

the thing that gets me most is the smug patronising "marriage as panacea to all the country's problems" attitude - the staggeringly pompous idea that if we all get, and stay, married life in the UK will be like a fecking Boden catalogue. and just in case you're not willing to play ball and cow-tow (I have just realised I have no idea how to spell that) to someone else's morality we'll use the tax and benefit systems to bribe you/punish you. It actually makes me extremely angry.
