David Cameron Employs Tony Blair To Save His British Business
DAY 2 of the Daily Mail’s campaign to help small firms, and the drive is already bearing dividends.
What are the odds that the campaign that coincided with the Government and Opposition’s drive to help small business would be such an instant hit?
If only the politicos listened.
“First day of the Mail campaign brings action from the Government and key pledges from the Tories.”
Hurrah!

David Cameron Channels Bob The Builder
MORE evidence that David Cameron is copying into Barack Obama.
Having lifted the new Tory website with the word “CHANGE”, the Sun says Dave can “FIX IT” and dresses him up as Bob he builder.
Can Dave fit it? “YES WE CAM.”

David Cameron Is Not Short On City Friends
DAVID Cameron says “You can bank on me”, at least this is the message the Independent relates to its readers from the Tory Party conference.
And it’s a good job that the Bank of Cameron is open, but not all that good, maybe, if Lady Louise Patten, wife of Tory education minister John, is running things.
Until recently she was a non-executive director of Bradford & Bingley, aka Bring & Buy, aka Boom & Bust etc.
And there is Christopher Gent, director of Lehman Brothers, who has given tens of thousands of pounds to the Tories.

David Cameron’s Flawed Debt Story
DAVID Cameron has been quiet on the banking crisis. Want to know why? It’s because he and his party have nothing meaningful to add:
Cameron is then directly quoted, saying: “I think that we have had a failure of regulation and we have had a debt boom that went on for far too long and it reached into parts of the economy it shouldn’t have done. The whole thing has become infected and it has got to be dealt with.”
A propos our previous post, Cameron is playing with fire taking this line. For sure, it is generally agreed that that has indeed been a “failure of regulation”, but by far the bulk of regulation, and the regulatory structures, are of EU origin. They are not within the gift of Cameron to change, without taking on the European Union, which the leader of the opposition shows no sign of doing. But to pretend that they are “Gordon Brown’s” is a very silly strategy indeed.
Isn’t it all the failure of capitalism?

POW: Putin And Sarkozy’s Political Fight Club
RUSSIAN tiger hunter and lover Vladimir Putin is to train France’s pocket-sized leader Nicholas Sarkozy in the art of unarmed combat, reports Le Figaro.
Says Putin: “He is interested in martial arts and we have decided to do some training together.”
Anorak wonders if the two men have decided to save money on their respective armies by forming the Politicians Organisation de Wrestlers (POW)?
If so, it’s a good idea, and one trailed by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

AmericaInTheWorld And British Stupidity
KNOW that AmericaInTheWorld has commissioned a poll to check how ignorant the British are about America. How ignorant? Very.
A poll of nearly 2,000 Britons by YouGov/PHI found that 70 per cent of respondents incorrectly said it was true that the US had done a worse job than the European Union in reducing carbon emissions since 2000. More than 50 per cent presumed that polygamy was legal in the US, when it is illegal in all 50 states. . . .
The survey showed that a majority agreed with the false statement that since the Second World War the US had more often sided with non-Muslims when they had come into conflict with Muslims. In fact in 11 out of 12 major conflicts between Muslims and non-Muslims, Muslims and secular forces, or Arabs and non-Arabs, the US has sided with the former group. Those conflicts included Turkey and Greece, Bosnia and Yugoslavia, and and Kosovo and Yugoslavia.
Asked if it was true that “from 1973 to 1990 the United States sold Saddam Hussein more than a quarter of his weapons,” 80 per cent of British respondents said yes. However the US sold just 0.46 per cent of Saddam’s arsenal to him, compared to Russia’s 57 per cent, France’s 13 per cent and China’s 12 per cent.
David Cameron wants us to understand Americans better…

Cam Shafted: White Van Man Guns For David Cameron
SAYS David Cameron:
“I turned down a road I don’t normally go down and I slowed down.
“As this van drove by, this hand came out and just bashed me in the back with the aim of pushing me in front of the car.
“Luckily I managed to put the brakes on. He gave me a hell of a shock.”
The perils of laying hands on Dave…
