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 [...]
I’m willing to do a deal with Bishop Devine

So the Roman Catholic Bishop of Motherwell has criticised David Cameron for failing to act quickly to scrap the part of the 1701 Act of Settlement which prevents Catholics from taking the throne or being part of the Royal Family. Joseph Devine said that this was a ‘scandalous’ law that discriminated against one group of [...]
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 [...]
Eric Pickles the TARDIS time-traveller

Conservative Party Chairman Eric Pickles MP is getting more than a little stick for his comments that the former LibDem leader Paddy Ashdown is now ‘frail and confused’. Those of us who have seen Paddy recently would know that he is matching neither of those qualities and still looks and sounds as fit and sharp as [...]

So Dave can’t decide if he wants to reward marriage or not. Sounds like something he should have thought about more carefully before making romantic overtures to the LibDems! Seriously though, what’s so wonderful about marriage? Well speaking as someone who has been happily married for the past 16 years and who sees every sign of this [...]
Are you drinking what he’s drinking?

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 [...]
