Blimey! What did Cameron do to Dorries?

article. 'Arrogant posh boys' etc. Given that she's meant to be on his side I wonder what's happened between them that she hits out quite so far below the belt. With friends like these, etc... ?

He humiliated her at PM's questions, which is nationally televised - suggested she was sexually frustrated and everyone sniggered. I think Dorries is a loon, but Cameron was totally out of line, as he was when he told Angela Eagle to "calm down dear".

Yep; Dorries has good reason to call Cameron an arrogant posh boy because that's EXACTLY like he behaved towards her.

He used the word 'frustrated' (not sexually) & it was the others doing the Frankie Howerd sniggering, wasn't it? I think she was pissed off before then, however.

He's fucked her over just like he does to all his female 'colleagues'...Scameron is innately sexist.

Let's not pretend that Cameron didn't know how the frustrated comment would be taken. He's no idiot.

It's in the same semantically loaded vein as that senator (forget his name) who called Obama 'Uppitty.

Look at the history of Black Americans and you will see that especially in the South, the term 'Uppitty' was used specifically to describe black people who had acted 'above their station' or who didn't know their 'place'.

These words are never used unwittingly. Shameron knew exactly what he was saying.

I hold no brief for Dorries - I think her views are awful - but Cameron encouraged the House to laugh at her with the 'frustrated' remark.

link here from the BBC where you can see the exchange. She asked him a question he couldn't answer so he took refuge in laughing at the questioner and using her sexuality to do so. A shabby trick. I don't believe in a professional politician, leading in the bearpit high profile event of the week, who says ANYTHING they don't mean to say. He knew how they House would take it and he meant them to do so.

Come on Cogito, you can't seriously believe that the PM's answers to PMQ's aren't scripted to within an inch of their lives? In any case he's got a cloth ear where women are concerned.

Re the Eagle incident, either he was being deliberately sexist, or he is so out of touch where women are concerned that he didn't GET that what he said was sexist. I don't know which is worse. And given that he certainly knows now, the Dorries incident was so much worse.

I find it hard to believe there's a woman left in the land willing to vote for him again.

Gawd blimey guvner, I fink that PM geezer had a roastin'

ramblinrose · 23/04/2012 23:02

I think she has a point.

malakadoush · 28/04/2012 20:39

I always thought that she was barking.

But now I tend to think she is quite sane.

ProgressivePatriot · 28/04/2012 22:11

I can't stand either of them. Nasty, right wing reactionaries with a vision of victorian britain they are intent to impose on the rest of us 'commoners'.

However, I think Dorries was doing exactly the same innuendo-led shit stirring as Cameron. Telling him to 'show Clegg who's boss' was obviously intended to remind people of the homo-erotic media nonsense the media invented between the pair of them after the election.
