Oh gosh, me too. I think he's fundamentally a decent man but events are just running away with him. The thought of 10 years with David Cameron as PM is utterly sick-making.

GB is a fine human being but


a) He doesn't have some of the qualities for PM.

b) He has a tendency to surround himself with some fairly unpleasant individuals.

c) He has a love of complexity (cf pension credit etc.) I prefer simplicity, which everyone can understand. It is not fair that so many pensioners do not get a decent pension because of GB's introduced complexity. (And no, I'm not a pensioner.)

I don't by into this fundamentally 'decent man' bit by any stretch of the imagination...i see no evidence, he strikes me as pretty unpleasant to be honest


...he's often described as a politician from tip to toes which makes him SCUM ( ta Snorky) in my book.

He's made plenty of enemies

He doesn't look a team player at all

He accepts no blame

He doesn't appear to listen just 'tell'


These 5 alone account for many of the myriad mistakes his governemnt have made, in addition


He's hubristic

He doesn't really strike me as that 'clever' let alone intellectual

He's never done a proper job

He looks intent on holding on to his job at any cost to country, the economy, collegaes or his own health purely out of ego

He's chippy


I could carry on but basically he looks horrendously unsuited and out of his depth

I don't understand your dislike of David Cameron. We've had 12 years to assess GB and I think ????'s has made the point eloquently that he's flawed as a politician and as PM - I would add that his policies over the last 12 years have been for the worse rather than the better - his tendency to insist on Treasury control, his desire for micro management and set targets makes everything more complicated than it need be - and is a major flaw.


What exactly has David Cameron done - he's remodelled the Conservatives, developed a string of sensible policies, he is an eloquent and persuasive speaker that can think on his feet, he has proved he can take tough decisions quickly rather than procrastinate as GB does.

GB is directly or indirectly responsible fir most of our woes even if it was just a case of letting tony get away with stuff in the interests of his career.


I don't hold out much hope for cameron. A man who described himself as the real heir to Blair... Oh fuck.


The people around him don't strike me as particularly sharp either, just arrogant. We're basically doomed.

    • Wow  So many armchair accident investigators putting forward their theorys. My thoughts are that we should wait for an official investigation to tell us what actually happened. 
    • Chester is a large ginger and while cat with a fluffy tail. He went missing from Casino Avenue on April 8. We only recently adopted him from Battersea, so he may be a bit disorientated. Please check any sheds or garages in case he's got trapped - he's not the cleverest cat. If you spot him please contact 07905 209 508. He does have a microchip.
    • Hi. Have you managed to find any groups in the area? I'm also a woman with ADHD and looking for support/discussion ideally locally.
    • Went to the junction today to check the "scene of the event" to try and work out from the tyre marks on the road and the damage to the kerb, what were the contributing factors to the accident. Here are my observations and deductions. 1.Compaction type refuse collection trucks, such as these, are exceptionally "tail-heavy" due the the weight of the hydraulic compaction mechanism and the fact that this weight is positioned on the  rear overhang ie behind the rear wheels. 2. To compensate for the extra weight, the truck is fitted with a "tag axle". The tag axle is located  forward of the rearmost axle. When fully laden, all the rear tyres will be running at very close to their operating limit. 3. The tag axle has only 2 wheels as opposed to 4 wheels on the rearmost axle. So on either side at the rear, there a three wheels. So if one rear tyre on the near side has lost pressure,  the weight carried by the remaining two is increased by 50%. 4. Being tail-heavy with a high centre of gravity, the driver of such vehicles should be ultra cautious when cornering. 5. When turning to the right,  the weight imposed on near side tyres is further increased depending on the speed involved. 6. The two long curved tyre marks on the road  suggest that only two of the 3 tyres on the near side were taking the weight.  7 These curved tyre marks end abruptly and I'm trying to work out exactly why. This spot is  very close to where the  near side rear wheels  slide up against the kerb and the wheel rims gouge out chunks  of the kerb stones. There is a possibility that the driver braked late and so caused the tyres to loose all grip and so slide into the kerb. If there are any forensic traffic experts around, I would welcome their take on this.
