And so farwell to any possibility of a second Cameron term

[ffutures]

According to the Evening Standard, which is admittedly right-wing nutter heaven, our beloved leader wants to "fix 120,000 problem families", "End the human rights culture" and impose "citizen service for 16-year-olds"

Words fail me. So let's try a totally unbiased poll...

[Poll #1769880]

Is there anyone who thinks that the Lib-Dems will survive this coalition, whether or not the Conservatives do?

Cameron's apparent inability to recognise that the traits he decries in the rioters and looters are the same as those held by the bankers who have impoverished millions of people and continue to steal by not paying anything near the same tax rate as hoi polloi, or the newspaper magnates who profited from their lackeys' phone tapping. In short, feral groups with no respect for common morality and with an overwhelming sense of privilege, but they're rich, so that's all right.

I personally think the death blow was dealt by the Chinese government when they applauded Cameron's "striking the right balance between freedom and responsibility" when he suggested shutting down the Internet in the event of further public unrest.

Yes, that went down well with a lot of dictatorships. Not with me...

That whole shutting down the internet thing - so *totally* the wrong thing to do and a violation of human rights.

And I suspect that a LOT of hackers etc. will be on his case from now on...
