THE T*AT’S PI**ED OFF
The irony of this is just TOO sweet.
DAVID CAMERON “TWIT FOR TWAT”
Absolute Radio had the pleasure of Mr Cameron’s presence this morning. What a wally!
The Twitter/twat clip here, video & audio
Asked “Are you on Twitter?” Mr Cameron replied, “No, I’m not. Politicians do have to think about of what we say – the trouble with Twitter … the instantness of it. Too many twits might make a twat.“
He obviously touched a chord, even if he didn’t know what he was saying, as has been suggested. The studio crew fell about it at this. And it seems that some reckon his background means that he didn’t realise that “twat” was a swear word. Probably true, or he wouldn’t have said it in that context! Worrying.
And some want the Conservatives back to raise standards! Archbishop Cramner, a Tory supporter, has a lovely phrase at his site which he should send to Dave – “urinated afar”. Now, THAT is class.
This is being “in touch” with the people, Cameron-style. Our next prime minister - thinking about what he’s saying!
God help us when he is NOT thinking!
This is the other “swear word” section of the interview: “the public are pissed off over the expenses.“
David Cameron, PM-in-waiting “working” at what he’s saying in a simple way, “otherwise you’re not going to take people with you.”
Full unedited interview from Absolute Radio’s Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show.
And since some of the phone callers were interested in his clothes, socks, style etc … he needs to watch this:
“You’ve either got or you haven’t got CLASS!
How it draws the applause of the mass …es.”
Oh, and STYLE …
“If you’ve got it you stand out a mile.”
Oh, and CHARM …
“You’ve either got or you haven’t got charm,
Style and charm sort of go arm in arm”
TONe-EEEEEEEEEE!

Interestingly, Prescott tweeted a blog post about this.
Incidentally, I had been one of the first few people on twitter (joined back in 2007). And no, too many tweets does not make a t***. It depends on who’s twitting and who you’re following. (From the very first day the top information/computer security bloggers joined twitter in 2008 and several thousand tweets later, they still make sense. The debates with 140 character limit amuses me to no end.)
And there’s also such as thing as “thinking before tweeting”. But of course it’s just a variation of “thinking before speaking”. (Someone clearly wasn’t.)

I have tweeted once or twice, but not as much perhaps as I should.
Taking lessons now from an old-timer, eh? Prescott does himself proud. And he writes better than he speaks!
Will add his link to the post, Caela.

Chameleon D certainly lacks style, and he and Osborne G are obviously Clarkson Conservatives, benefitting from the appalling abuses which Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have suffered from these oiks and their followers.

Those who call for retributive justice re Iraq and Afghanistan will not object when, as seems most likely, this inquiry does not find serious fault in HMG, past and present, as both the Butler and Hutton inquiries found no crimes/serious errors, will wish to pay a forfeit no doubt?
Silence would do.

“Retributive “JUSTICE!”
These people don’t know the meaning of the word “justice” – as they infiltrate our country and airwaves and brainwash the gullible.
The main abusers of justice are those who abuse democracy and freedom, not those who try to defend both.

I still object to sexual swear words.
If those who find it necessary to use them lack respect for these enjoyable bodily functions of themselves and their partners then perhaps best they keep schtum?
To advertise their hang ups on radio . . ? ? ? ?

Yes, exactly.
And this Cameron man would be our PRIME MINISTER!?
In all the time Blair was in the spotlight I do not recall him using this kind of language or indeed any swear words – not in public anyway.
Brown too – even though he is reputed to have used quite a few in private, notably (towards you-know-who.)
Cameron’s behaviour should give voters pause for thought. But the average person is so accustomed to coarseness these days that it might even raise his profile with some.
One of the lads and all that.
Hopefully the “lads” will abstain next time round!
