David Cameron gets daughter Nancy, 8, unpaid internship in pub
IN ‘DAVID Cameron’s Nightmare”, the Sun leads with the sensational news that David Cameron left his daughter Nancy in the pub, or “country inn”, as it describes the The Plough at Cadsden.
Dave Cam was ith Sam Cam, Art Cam, Flo Cam but not Nancy Cam when he left the boozer close to his official country residence of Chequers.
Relising he’d left Nancy, 8, behind, Cameron drove back to pub, where he “found Nancy happily helping out the staff.” Some shock for Dacve to look about t4h Car CAm and relise that “we are not all in this together”.

Aston Villa fan overjoyed by Chelsea winning Champions League (photo)
HOW do fans of other British clubs react to Chelsea winning the Champions League with victory over Germany’s Bayern Munich? The overriding word is: indifference. Only the winners and the losers get to experience the real emotion. The rest are reduced to the role of mere spectators. Unless you are Aston Villa fan David Cameron, and you’re stood in the Laurel Cabin conference room at Camp David, Md., with Barack Obama, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission. In which case you have to punch the air and bathe in reflected glory.

Rebekah Brooks is Sharon Shoesmith – will David Cameron condemn her in an open letter to the Sun?
SO. Rebekah Brooks and her husband Charlie Brooks have been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice during the phone-hacking investigation. The allegation is that the former editor of the News of the World and the Sun who was promoted to the role of Chief Executive Officer of News International concealed computers, information, and documents from the Metropolitan Police.
If guilty, then everything the Sun has ever stood for is dust. The couple say they are innocent, issuing this statement:
“We have this morning been informed by the Office of the Department of Public Prosecutions that we are to be charged with perverting the course of justice. We deplore this weak and unjust decision. After the further unprecedented posturing of the CPS we will respond later today after our return from the police station.”

David Cameron meets with leading anti gay marriage activist
HOW in tune with public opinion is David Cameron? Well, not long since Barack Obama approved gay marriage, Dave had meeting with the Dalai Lama. He’s man who says homosexuality is mortal sin. The man who appears in the West as a unifying force of good – has anyone spotted him in the same place as Nelson Mandela? – once told the Vancouver Sun:
“I think that we should follow according to one’s holy teachings. For a Buddhist,the same sex, that is sexual misconduct… And also marriage, even in the heterosexual cult of marriage, they use the mouth and the anus, this is sexual misconduct.”
Gay marriage is a big deal. Does Dave know..?

Favourite meal: Cumberland sausages, mashed potatoes and Daddies sauce.

Franklin Roosevelt is the young David Cameron – photo
WHEN we noticed that David Cameron is super sissy softy in the mould of Basil Fotherington-Thomas, a reader pointed us towards this photo of Franklin Roosevelt, the man whose New Deal saved the pastry industry and gave the battered sausage to the world. What pastry will Dave create? And will it be underdone..?

David Cameron looking like Basil Fotherington-Thomas – a gallery
HOW in touch with the people is marketing man and miscreant David Cameron? VERY! Every society needs a softy and a sissy at its helm to steer it through frothy waters. It has not escaped our notice that Dave appears to have fashioned himself on Basil Fotherington-Thomas, the tennis-playing star of Nigel Moselworth’s St Custard’s diaries. So. Say “hullo clouds, hullo sky” to DAve as he skips about life looking like a milk-fed dish-faced man of the people…

David Cameron lies about his Leeds pastries
PASTRY-face Prime Minster David Cameron told us:
“I love a hot pasty. I think the last one I bought was from the West Cornwall Pasty Company. I seem to remember I was in Leeds station at the time. The choice was to have one of their small ones or their large ones. I’ve got a feeling I opted for the large one and very good it was too.”
It must have been a bit dry – that shop closed in 2007.

David Cameron’s pastry tax suits Eric Pickles
THE Hot Food tax now extends to McDonald’s, Burger King and Greggs. One way to circumvent the 20p-in-the-£1 surcharge is to buy your treats cold or else invite butter-faced David Cameron to eat hot takeaways at his Downing Street soirees, seats at which can cost upwards of £250,000.
Cameron could add another, say, £50,000-a head to the dinner by way of la evy for any influencers who get excited about watching the Prime Minister eating a sausage roll. For another £10,000, pie face and SamCam will start at opposite ends of a one-footer and race to the centre.

David Cameron fiddles with your ice-creams
DAVID Cameron has it licked:
We need to tackle regulation with vigour both to free businesses to compete and create jobs, and give people greater freedom and personal responsibility. Of course we need proper standards, for example in areas like fire safety and food safety. So where regulation is well-designed and proportionate, it should stay. But it is hard to believe that we need government regulations on issues such as ice cream van musical jingles, or the display of bed prices. We know we have inherited far too much costly, pointless, and illiberal government red tape.
That’s why, since coming to office, the Government has pursued an ambitious deregulation agenda. – August 11, 2011

When David Cameron met Obama it was all showbiz all of the time
Glittering the White House dinner will be, but what stars will be there?
To reflect the astounding success in the US of the TV series Downton Abbey, Hugh Bonneville is said to be on the guest list. Sir Jonathan Ive – Apple’s British design supremo – is said to be attending, too, along with Damian Lewis, the British actor who shone as a US special ops soldier sprung from prison in Iraq in the Showtime hit, Homeland. Impressive? Attendees at a White House dinner for Tony Blair in 1998 included Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks and Barbra Streisand.

David Cameron says Obama will look at the 2003 extradition treaty
DAVID Cameron says Barack Obama will look at the 2003 extradition treaty that steamrolls British justice and has sent Christopher Tappin to a US prison.
Says Cameron:
“I raised this issue with President Obama today and we had a good discussion. We will be following this up with further talks between our teams. We have carried out an independent review of the treaty which found that it was balanced but I recognise that there are concerns about how it is implemented in practice and that’s what our teams will look at.”
Teams. What a hateful word that has become. It defers all power to the group. It’s an enlargement on Tony Blair’s calls to “join the debate”. We all got invited to join the debate. And while we chatted Tony signed an extradition treaty that makes the UK America’s lickspittle and went there on a speaking tour.

David Cameron on a horse – photo
THE Daily Mail has a photo of David Cameron on a horse. The paper has used its horsey photoshop skills (mroe here) to show us Cameron on to a horse. As @scaryduck says: “Worst Old Spice advert ever”…

Dobbin-gate: The best comment on David Cameron’s ride on Rebekah Brooks’ and The Met’s Raisa
DOBBIN(G)-GATE: The best comments on David Cameron’s ride on Raisa, the horse the Met lent to Rebekah Brooks. Before the horse died, Rupert Murdoch’s tame tabby Rebekah Brooks let David Cameron have a ride on it – to go for a hack, as it were. Thanks to Murdoch, even right-wingers are agreeing with the Guardian. The media mucks out:
Michael Crick, Channel 4:
#horsegate In Commons in 2004 Cameron attacked plans for horse passports. He said they’d affect “every child’s pony, every happy hacker.”

David Cameron vows to ‘crush’ racism at Chipping Norton FC
DAVID Cameron has ordered that football bosses “crush” racism. After that the Prime Minister will order police bosses to crush racism at the station; MPs to crush racism in Westminster; the media to crush racism in newsrooms; the Camerons to crush racism at home; the Bullingdon Club to crush racism in the gin shoppe; and so on…
Says Cameron:
“This is not just important for football, it’s important for the whole country…We need to act quickly to make sure those problems do not creep back in.”

How Maradona can prevent the next Falklands War
FROM dodgy synth pop to leggings there has been a lot of 80s revivalism going on of late and quite frankly I have had more than enough of it. The first half of the decade did at least have a little colour, but from 1985 through to the arrival of the Stone Roses in 1989 the UK was a grey old place run by cold and uncaring goverment. It was a society ravaged by unemployment, terrible pessimism, AIDS and of worst of all Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
Rant over. However there’s one 80s revival that I absolutely don’t want to see and that’s a Falklands War.
And yet with us drilling for oil in the area it seems that the Argies (our great mates and most natural South American ally) are getting very upset and are calling for the ownership of the island to be placed right back on the political agenda.
Of course we are a long way from having to put together a new task force but this is one issue that really needs to be nipped in the bud.

David Cameron get Jeremy Clarkson Tourette’s
ANYONE else suspect that David Cameron sees Jeremy Clarkson’s schtick of saying mildly offensive non-PC things in a loud voice as a way of reaching the people who perceive a loss of free speech in modern life and reassuring them that he understands?
In an interview with the Telegraph, Cameron said of shadow chancellor Ed Ball’s appearances in the House of Commons:
“But I’m very bad, in the House of Commons, at not getting distracted, and the endless, ceaseless banter, it’s like having someone with Tourette’s permanently sitting opposite you.”
Cameron is talking to the Tory voters who might think he’s soft. His words are not accidental. They echo the studied offence of Clarkson, who aims to be the voice for the man blessed with common sense who sees through the PC bullshit. David Cameron has contracted Jeremy Clarkson Tourette’s, a strain of the illness that causes the victim to say non-PC things to a deadline.

Where’s the Treaty David Cameron Refused To Sign?
ONE question for David Cameron: where’s the treaty you snubbed?
The Daily Telegraph reports Cameron saying to the BBC:
“You’ve never seen Britain say ‘no’ to a European treaty before. There was a treaty on the table, it didn’t adequately protect Britain’s interests. Instead of going along with it, I said no to it. I thought that’s my job… We were offered a treaty that didn’t have proper safeguards for Britain. I decided it was not right to sign that treaty … I decided not to sign that treaty”.
What treaty? Where is it?

BREAKING NEWS: David Cameron Evicted After Neighbours Complain Of Drunken Anti-Social Behaviour, Foul Language And Urinating In The Street
IT’S quite amazing what the Boy Dave gets up to when Sam let’s him off for a night out with the boys in Europe really, isn’t it?
Sadly though that’s not quite what the story refers to. It’s rather an old thing that local newspapers rather delight in doing. Finding that they’ve got some local miscreant with the same name as someone more famous and then plastering the misdeeds all over the headlines. This one is from the Northampton Chronicle and the David Cameron referred to is a 60 year old with multiple ASBOs.

David Cameron Not Mistaken For Gary Glitter On London Underground
DID anyone else see David Cameron on the London Underground? The Prime Minister, was on the Tube London Underground, riding incognito dressed in immaculate dark blue suit, midnight blue tie and brogues. To his rear is a thick-wristed low-browed sort with a licence to kill. You might have mistaken Cameron for a banker riding the Tube for a dare. But that is the Prime Minster, a man who forgoes a company car with driver for public transport.
In case you aren’t already staring at him, Cameron is approaching one Sanyogita Mayer, 27, and her husband Yanko, 31, to ask about their their three-month-old daughter Sayama.
Says Mrs Mayer:
“We were on our way to go shopping. This man got on at Westminster and came past me and said: ‘Is it your baby?'”
Mrs Mayer is from India. You might wonder why Dave asked her this question and what tone he used. Did he use the anti-immigration “Is that your baby?”, or opt for the smoothy “Is that your baby…” you don’t look nearly old enough, my dear.

Cameron Must Chop Liam Fox Before The Army Does
SOME news and political sources are now openly hinting UK Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox may be gay. Whether or not there is a close physical relationship between his Best Man Adam Werritty and Fox, as possible consenting adults, it is a matter for them.
I couldn’t give an old Queen’s tremulous giggle one way or the other.
What can no longer be in doubt is the ridiculous mind-set of the UK Premier David Cameron on the whole sorry mess of the unappointed adviser in the shape of Werritty.
Ridiculous?

International Paralympic Day: David Cameron And Boris Johnson Do Tennis
THURSDAY meant International Paralympic Day in Trafalgar Square, London. Seb Coe, swimmer Ellie Simmonds, South African runner Oscar Pistorius and the British volleyball team were there to do stuff.
Also there were Bullingdon Boys David Cameron and Mayor of London Boris Johnson. They played tennis in smart shiny black shoes, slacks and shirts. Bozza rolled up his sleeves. Cameron kept his tie on. I
It’s hard to imagine Ken Livingstone, the man Johnson beat in the race to be London mayor, playing tennis. Ken is too self-regarding and aware of his credentials as a man who equates misery with gravitas and clear thinking to play ball. When London entered the race for the 20102 Olympics, Livingstone offered:
“We didn’t bid for the Olympic Games because I liked sport. I have never been to a sports event in my life.”

David Cameron’s Masterclass In Deception: The EU Referendum Con
WANT to know why we don’t trust politicians and biased newspapers? Well, on September 11, 2007, The Daily Telegraph’s Toby Helm told readers:
David Cameron plans to force EU referendum – David Cameron is planning a Parliamentary ambush over the new EU treaty in an attempt to force Gordon Brown to grant the British people a referendum.
Four years on and after a general election that sees David Cameron installed as Prime Minsters, we learn:
“I want us to be influential in Europe about the things that matter to our national interest – promoting the single market, pushing forward for growth, making sure we get lower energy prices.
“Those are things we will be fighting for but I don’t see the case for an in out referendum on Europe. We are in Europe, we have got to make it work for us.”

Did Andy Coulson Lie? He Told Parliament He Had No Income From News International While Working For David Cameron
ROBERT Peston, the BBC reporter who stresses the wrong WORD when talking, says Andy Coulson, who went from being the former editor of the News Of The World to being David Cameron’s former spin doctor, was being paid by Rupert Murdoch’s News International while on Cameron’s staff. As Peston writes:
Andy Coulson, the former editor of the News of the World who has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in phone hacking and bribing the police, received several hundred thousand pounds from News International after starting work as the Conservative Party’s Director of Communications in July 2007.
It’s all a big stinky
As I understand it, after Mr Coulson resigned from News International on 26 January 2007, News International said it would pay him his full entitlement under his two-year contract as editor of the News of the World – although the money would be paid in instalments. I am told that Mr Coulson also continued to receive his News International work benefits, such as healthcare, for three years, and he kept his company car.
Mr Coulson was appointed as the Conservative Party’s Director of Communications on 31 May 2007 and took up the post in July of that year. He was reportedly paid £275,000 a year by the Conservative Party.
You may recall what Andy Coulson told the House of Commons Culture, Media Sport committee in July 2009: – and this is priceless:
Tom Watson: Just one last round of questioning. You knew that you were going to resign before sentencing but on the day of sentencing you resigned from the paper.
Mr Coulson: I actually resigned two weeks before I announced it.
Tom Watson: Two weeks before. And did you get a redundancy payment for that?
Mr Coulson: I got what was contractually due to me. Obviously I did not work my notice so I received what was contractually due.
Tom Watson: Then you were six months out of work.
Mr Coulson: About five months.
Tom Watson: And then you went work directly for the Conservative Party.
Mr Coulson: That is right.
Tom Watson: And you have not got any secondary income other than that have you?
Mr Coulson: No.
Tom Watson: So your sole income was News International and then your sole income was the Conservative Party?.
Mr Coulson: Yes.
It’s the papers of record…
