Barack Obama, David Cameron And The Mystery Of Robert Green’s Slick Gloves: Pictures
DAVID Cameron might consider himself fortunate there is war on. He gets to stand among the troops at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province and look hard.
And tough Dave’s been on the phone to Barack Obama to remind him that soaking Robert Green’s gloves in BP oil was an inspired ploy and left everyone feeling equal and happy.
England V USA: One Green Disaster After Another Green Disaster
Dave and Barry then, apparently, had a chat on the phone, although we think such calls should take place on a party line and give us all chance to listen in. Downing Street then issued a press release:
World Cup: England v USA Death Blog (Pictures)
“President Obama said to the prime minister that BP was a multinational global company and that frustrations about the oil spill had nothing to do with national identity. The prime minister stressed the economic importance of BP to the UK, US and other countries. The president made it clear that he had no interest in undermining BP’s value.”

David Cameron Dot Com Is Nick Clegg’s Joker: Cam’s Tech Horror
SPARKINGLY on-trend our new Prime Minister may like us to think he is – so it is distressing to discover that David Cameron has failed to buy up his .com domain name. The result of this oversight is that http://www.davidcameron.com/ – which at first glance looks like a Cameron blog – is now in the hands of a non-fan of the PM, one Reza Sorbati (of north London).
The opening two lines of the site’s most recent post are representative of the hostile tone:
“Ashcroft and Clegg help Cameron hobble to power. The electorate get a LibCon Coalition which is jeered into Downing Street on a sad day for democracy.”
Nor can I be certain that davidcameron.co.uk is owned by the PM. The site claims to be a “gateway to sites on the Internet for [sic] david cameron!” But it appears to be a gateway to unrelated sites, such as those for cheap international calls or a new political party called… New Party. Davidcameronprimeminister.co.uk, too, is just another gateway.

Clegg And Cameron’s Hummus Revolution: Parties Reshaped Into Public School Houses
NICK Clegg and David Cameron are in a rose garden holding hands and laughing at each other’s jokes. Gyles Brandreth, the TV presenter who came out of Dictionary Corner to be a Tory MP, once said of Cameron’s purist of more gays in the Party: “They want people who are a touch Tommy Two Ways.” The Conservatives wanted more effete public school boys. Cameron looked about and saw Nick ‘Pokey’ Clegg. William Hague never stood a chance. Right now Super Cam and Pokey are doing their Ocado shopping together. If the alliance is to last, Pokey will have to get over trenchant opinions on non-organic hummus and Dave will need to decide if breaking the coalition into houses and naming them after fags he’s known is better than calling every one George…

In Pictures: Irish Protest Against Government Cuts Turns Nasty
WHILE you were watching Gordon Brown leave and David Cameron and Nick Clegg produce an advertorial for private schools, over in Ireland, the Gardai have been brawling with protestors marching against government cutbacks outside the Gates of Leinster House in Dublin. You see, Labour fans and monarchists looking to Prince Harry to seize power – it’s not too late. Granted, you might get a club about the head; but it’s never too late to protest…

David Cameron News Round Up: Bitterness, Spite And Envy
DAVID Cameron is the Prime Minister. And Britain rejoices. No not because Dave is in but because Peter Mandelson and Alastair Campbell are out. And because the news media had not idea about anything during the election – hyping the importance of their TV debates which turned out to be an utter waste of time – let’s see what they have to say about things now:
In Pictures: David Cameron Becomes Prime Minister To Queen’s Delight
In all the debate about who lost the election, let us be reckless and predict who is going to lose the next one: the Liberal Democrats. The absurdity of this party has long been clear to many of us. It is an almost impossible coalition, as a body composed of people of such a particular temper must always be. It split over Ireland in 1886. In 1918, it split between Asquithian and Lloyd George Liberals. It even had a little split in the late 1980s, when a few militant beardies went off and separated themselves from the party that became the Liberal Democrats. We genuine Gladstonians start to despair of it.
Kevin Maguire is bitter:
Once Cameron and his useful idiot Clegg start slashing services, the Brown years will acquire a rosier glow.
Everything from tax credits to rebuilt schools and children’s centres to new hospitals and winter fuel allowances owe something to Brown.
And what Gord giveth, Dave and Nick will taketh away.
The Lib Dems will never be forgiven for missing a chance to forge a consensus with Labour.
Clegg’s a clever bloke so wasn’t duped. The Lib Dem leader’s judgement failed him.
FIGHT: Adam Boulton (Sky News) v Alastair Campbell (Labour)

In Pictures: David Cameron Becomes Prime Minister To Queen’s Delight
AND then there was one. David Cameron has killed off the other two Prime Ministers and rules alone. Nick Clegg can now agree with Gordon Brown, who is front runner to take over as leader of the Gary Glitter fan club, the Gordon Brown Appreciation Society and Twitter. And David Cameron can smile. Winners are grinners. and her majesty is smiling. “You see,” she says, “I knew Eton wasn’t a waste of money.”

Election Round-Up: Tarty Nick Clegg And The Politics Of Vanity Sold To A Dumb Public
GORDON Brown stands aside for pragmatic reasons – Clegg will not work with him. Nick Clegg talks to the Labour Party. The ITV news calls him a kingmaker. He isn’t. He just wants to look important. This is vanity, people. Nothing less.
David Cameron would do well to look principled and tell everyone else to sod off. If all the rest – the Labour losers, the LibDem big losers, the nationalists of Ireland, Wales and Scotland and a Green – are lumped together to form a Government of desperation, the Tories will look solid and the only viable option.
Who wants yet another unelected Prime Minister? Why, Nick Clegg and the Labour Party do. Tarts. This is how PR works, so say they who are against it.
You hear a constant dribble of how much the jobbing, entitled politicos are doing it for the country’s stability. If you snorted any harder you’d puke:

Election News Round Up: Cameron Meets The Queen And Brown Stays
THE Election fail continues to entertain the media. And because all the hacks know now all about the country’s constitution, the laws and the deals, readers can get all the facts.
Daily Star (front page): “IT’S GORD RIDDANCE”
Con-Lib deal kicks Brown out of No 10
So, Gordon Brown has gone. Fact. It’s at times like these that we turn to the organ of historical record, like Automated Trader:
UK Election update: Talks between Tories and Lib Dems to continue today
Monarchists Seize Power: Prince Harry Gets His Wings In Pictures
The Telegraph rubs its chin and observes:
Five of the last seven American presidents have been left-handed, as well as David Cameron, the Conservative leader.
Such are the facts. Anyhow, back to Brown.
The Sun (front page): “BROWN MONDAY”
“Fears for £ as Gord hijacks Lib talks”
The pound rose against the U.S. dollar on Monday, erasing some of its recent losses after Britain’s Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties said they were close to agreeing on a deal that would allow David Cameron to take power.
Or as the Mail’s ridiculous Peter Oborne puts it:
As Britain wakes up this morning to financial markets in turmoil, the need for stability and strong government has seldom been greater.
And the need for decent journalism based on facts remains negligible, Peter?

VE Day Pictures: Banzai Gordon Brown Digs In After The War Is Lost
THE Prime Minsters were all there at VE Day. Prime Minister Gordon Brown looked tanned as if he’d tumbled into a vat of Touche Éclat. Prime Minister Nick Clegg looked smaller than he does on the telly. And Prime Minister David Cameron looked as rosy fingered as Dawn. This is VE day, and the chatter was that Brown resembled one of those Japanese fighters who emerge from the bushes on a Pacific island decades after the fight is won and launch a rictus-grin charge at a coachload of holidaymakers waddling in for a scuba class. There he is armed with bit of paper that says he has not been voted to be Prime Minister twice. Any more of this and the Americans will be forced to invade…

The Best And Weirdest Election Pictures: A Gallery
THE election has been a pretty turgid affair. The highlights have been Gordon Brown calling Gillian Duffy a bigot, Nick Clegg remembering everyone’s first name in the entire country, David Cameron not wearing a top hat and tails in public. The media have spent the entire time guessing what will happen and how many people will even bother to vote. But the pictures were good. Some were brilliant. Look through our library of the best images of the election campaign. Enjoy them all.
Simon Cowell Worried Over Violent Crime, Sees No Irony With Cheryl Cole
SIMON Cowell has a vision for a “NEW BRITAIN”. Cowell, Cheryl Cole’s manager, says:
“I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.”
Cowell says he’s worried about violent crime and the culprit having more rights than the victim.
“I worry that we are losing that old-school respect. And I think this is down to a breakdown of rules. When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued.”

Election In Photos: Manish Sood Damns Gordon Brown And Other Tactics
MANISH Sood, the Labour Party’s candidate for North West Norfolk, says Gordon Brown is “the worst Prime Minister Britain has ever had” (via). Bookies Paddy Power , never ones to miss a bit of PR, have projected the face of Conservative Leader David Cameron onto the Houses of Parliament and began paying out on a Conservative win.
In other news, the Financial Times has come out in support of the Conservatives. The only thing that can stop the Tories is tactical voting. The Daily Mirror calls for it. Ed Balls wants it. So, we’re all agreed – vote David Cameron and get rid of Gordon Brown…

WELL done again to Fulham’s Roy Hodgson for winning the leaders’ debate by a country mile. Nick Clegg hopped about and said nothing much in an a friendly way (albeit with ugly Dutch tie); Gordon Brown managed not to call anyone a bigot for disagreeing with him; and David Cameron actually – and this is incredible – seemed like he might win the vote. As for the pictures – well, you out your left foot in…
