| Cameron: son of privilege - great, great, great, great, great grandson of William IV |
"This government will not cut the deficit in a way which hurts those who most need help" - David Cameron...
In the late 1970s the 11 year old Cameron was invited to the birthday party of one of his classmates. Ordinary 'Dave' hanging out with his 'ordinary' mates, eh. Only thing is, the party was in America and was held for the grandson of oil billionaire, John Paul Getty. Dave and his buddies flew over on Concorde and were drinking Dom Peringnon '69. He comes from a world so far removed from the reality that most of us know that he is utterly incapable of knowing what it is he is 'governing'.
He was also Norman Lamont's adviser during the Black Wednesday disaster, so we're treading a well worn path here. Privileged; out of touch; unempathic; smug and complacent - he and his class mates are not "in it together" with us. The confident ease with which he spins out and appropriates our words; words like 'fairness', sickens me. Where were 'Dave' or Gideon/'George' when we were marching in support of Mandela, against the evil racism of apartheid? They were probably denouncing him as a terrorist in the Bullingdon club.
