I agree with Dave – he just doesn’t get it

So David Cameron thinks Facebook should remove the ghoulish support page for Raoul Moat. I am not sure what he thinks it would achieve. Anyone who uses Facebook knows that there are mad and stupid pages and groups on the site – and also some very good ones too. Charities and campaign groups flourish and [...]
Do criminals have human rights?

Two hours before David Cameron made his ‘dynamite’ quote about the human rights of burglars, I was watching BBC1′s The Big Question. A young mother stated that she believed that paedophiles ‘had lost their human rights when they chose to abuse a child’. I find this rather disconcerting. Surely every human has inalienable human rights? That doesn’t [...]
Put your dog whistle down, David

Earlier this afternoon, David Cameron told BBC1′s Politics Show “The moment a burglar steps over your threshold, and invades your property, with all the threat that gives to you, your family and your livelihood, I think they leave their human rights outside.” To many people, dismayed by recent headline court cases, I expect this sounds [...]

At this time of year, most of us enjoy a festive tipple or two. Judging by David Cameron’s New Year message’ I can only assume that he’s spent rather too long tasting the contents of his wine cellar. Taking up the LibDem lovebombing baton from Eric Pickles (what a thought!), he said: “Let’s be honest that [...]
I mentioned it once – but I think I got away with it

So after signing his party up to a ragtag bunch of right-wing political parties in the European Parliament, with comrades that include Latvians who celebrate the Waffen SS and Poles who seek to oppose the ‘Germanisation’ of Europe, David Cameron might be believed to have a strange view of Europe and Germany’s distant Nazi past.

The Times has carried a shortened version of a report from Conservative Home about the sort of parliamentary party David Cameron may find himself leading after the next General Election. A majority of one would leave Cameron with 50% of his party new to the Commons, whilst the Tories’ private hopes for 140 new MPs and a majority [...]
McBride, Draper and the Ian Oakley link

I know exactly the day on which Gordon Brown should comment on the shameful antics of Damian McBride and Derek Draper – 8th Spetember 2009. That’s exactly 150 days from the date of McBride’s resignation from the Prime Minister’s office. Why 150 days? Well that’s how long it took for David Cameron to mumble a half-hearted apology of sorts [...]
There are some things more important than politics

The awful news that David & Samantha Cameron’s elder son Ivan has died has particularly poignancy happening in the week that Nick and Miriam Clegg celebrated the birth of their third son Miguel. Some things are just so far beyond politics and just serve to show us all how little it really matters in the real [...]
Student politics at PMQ? Kindergarten kids behave better!

Now that I am supposedly a lady of leisure (Ha, ha!), I often get the chance to watch Prime Minister’s Question Time. I really don’t know why I bother – I might as well watch a poor slapstick comedy film on one of the various channels that Sky throw in to my package for free. Twenty [...]
It's official: Cameron's one-dimensional Watford whitewash

Following Ian Oakley’sconviction for a vile campaign of criminal damage, harassment and vile abuse, LibDem spokesman Ed Davey called upon David Cameronto hold an inquiry into the procedures and activities of the Watford Conservative Party. Today we got Cameron’s answer. Asked what action he was taking to ensure such people could not be selected as [...]
