Camerons are Living in the Past

Day-of-the-Week

Nick Robinson says he filmed breakfast Chez Cameron yesterday morning (Tuesday, September 8).  The clock on the wall says it was  Monday, September 7, 2008.  Guido has some sympathy, Miss Fawkes pulled the hands off the kitchen clock Chez Fawkes…

    I bet it was one of your antics that stressed her out enough to do it

          I thought for one minute that Cameron new what he was doing. Then I received an e mail where he thinks the whole Afghan thing is the right thing to do. Like supporting a Government that has just passed a law that a man can starve his wife to death if she refuses his advances also a Government that is presiding over the exportation of the worlds Heroin trade. Cmon Cameron if you think that is worth fighting for then you are no different than Bliar or Brown sort. Be a man and admit this has been a mistake. There is obviously none of you strong enough or man enough to admit it.

        what upset her?

        “Guido, even David Cameron empties the dishwasher. You’d think just *once* you could get off that stupid blog and do something around the house? Tap tap tap, all bloody day, and for what? To annoy people you don’t even know. My mother was right about you, I should never…..”

          OT but…
          The White feathers that a conspirator suggested that we post to various ministers should have started to arrive by now, just routine mischief, but a very satisfying weekly routine, a ‘golden key moment’
          (please try and ensure there is no guano attached to feather)

        Bliar the Liar his pants are inflammable says:

        I thought we’d happily seen the last of this godawful embarrassing “docu-soap” “ordinary politician at home” bullshit PR when Bliar finally pissed-off.

        It was as fake as Bliar’s smile then as it is now with CMD.

        Leave all this obvious heir to Blair “fairly straight sort of ordinary guy stuff” out Davy boy. It’s not doing you any favours.

        Gordon being a twat still doesn’t excuse this sort of PR twattery.

        Oh the windmill, i remember that one now- it was never going to work.
        Whether we’re talking as a way of providing any sort of energy – a small amount of research would have told him it wasn’t going to work – or as some sort of libdem/green “vote catcher” (to work on the kind of people who have dream catchers).

        A waste of money and a bad decision.

        I’d only forgive him for it if it was revealed that he bought it on ebay “late at night” as it were.

    That would be a firing issue at the BBC – witness their cancellation of ‘Sun, Sea and Bargain Hunting’ because a cameraman posed as a member of the public.

    Listening to the commentary you hear Dave say something along the lines of “Good night, see you in the morning” to Samantha, so it was obviously filmed on Monday night (your screenshot says 8:30, I assume that’s PM) – either that or the next PM has his own clock wrong!

  9. 10

    Why is Cameron do desperate to invite the cameras into his home to let them film him making lunch etc.? This is just what we hated about Blair: his obsession with showing the British people what a straight sort of guy he was.

    Just come up with some decent policies, Dave, and, trust me, the British people wouldn’t care if you got divorced.

    To Brown’s credit (and it’s the only thing that’s to his credit) he doesn’t flaunt his children for his own ends.

      In case you haven’t noticed Brown flaunts behind other peoples’ children in schools.

          Airey Belvoir says:

          Has Gordon been CRB checked? He spends so much time hanging around schools (presumably an easy gig, no tricky questions and all on best behaviour) that his own crap legislation must apply to him.

        • 43

          Good point, Airey Belvoir! I wonder if an “ordinary” person would need a CRB check. If so, why should Brown be exempt?

          A close family member of mine wanted to go back into teaching after a few years’ retirement but was told she’d need investigating. She politely told them she was refusing to have the checks and that if they didn’t want her help so be it.

          If Philip Pullman needs checking, why not the Prime Minister?

    Billy Blofeld says:

    The Cameron’s stopped their clock on purpose.

    Dave is clearly celebrating the government’s historic announcement on this day that they were in talks with Jeremy Kyle to front a £0.5m TV show aimed at getting people off their sofa and back to work.

    Hold the phone,what is that MAN doing in the kitchen.
    A future Prime Minister should not be partaking in such things.
    How can he expect to fight toe too toe with African,Oriental or Arab blokes,Italians even, when he insists on playing housey housey with the missus.
    Please tells us Dave you were only in the kitchen giving the wife a bollocking for making you cheese sandwiches in your pack up three days on the trot.

      English Viking says:

      My thoughts exactly. He probably owns an apron. The only time I go into the kitchen is either to get a beer out of the fridge or to tell the wife to hurry up with my chips.

      Oh my god, I know what it means!
      In a parallel universe, where other versions of us exist and get on with our lives, there is a 7th of September which is a Monday.
      But, and this is the clincher! if your other self is the same as the one in this universe, it means that the space/time continuum is collapsing into itself. It’s probably a wormhole effect.
      We’re totally screwed, a Borg cube probably coming through around teatime.

      So Guido – since I’m going to be a cyborg by 5′ish, why not tell me the Tory/sex scandal thing? Coz I won’t care after that.

    frankfisher99 says:

    Maybe Dave is establishing an alibi for something that did happen on 7th September 2008? Or maybe he only fills the dishwasher once a year?

    That might explain why there was both a bottle and a magnum of champagne on the worktop – I thought it was a bit insensitive of Dave given his Lecture of the Day on politicians tightening their belts. On the other hand that implies that the Beeb saved the shots from last year for a rainy day, and even they wouldn’t do that to a leading right winger.

    Would they?

    Agent 99 says:

    Are we being prepared for a dead brown Bounce as many have feared?

    Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has said there are “signs” the UK economy is coming out of recession. The comments come as surveys suggest consumer confidence is increasing and the decline in the jobs market is levelling off.

    But Lord Mandelson warned on BBC Radio 4′s World at One “there is always a risk of a second recessionary dip”.

      Where is Gordon, and what is he actually doing? He’s gone into hiding again.

      Mandleson is portraying himself as the premier spokesperson for the government, while he wheels and deals in China.

      This stance seems to be paving the way for the government to “bounce back”, but whether or not it will be with Gordon at the helm, remains to be seen.

    £200,000 worth of the best education in the land and he ends up doing the dishes and rides a bike.

    Still he married someone with class and cash so Eton didn’t totally fail him.

    Pathetic really trying to be someone he isn’t. Or maybe he is and that’s why he resigned from Whites.

    Honestly this is a our hopeful leader of our Nation in less than 9 months time.

    Show some leadership boy and tell the staff to do the work. Learn to delegate.

Just a thought.
