However, Cameron is not looking the master of all he commands. He has attempted to fill the lords with his buddies (more lords, more quickly than any other PM - I wonder how much time he spent thinking about that, & how many of them are tory donors etc - more jobs for the boys, like georgie boy as chuky said earlier...)

The EU wants a raise of 4.9%

Oh, & the valued NHS which Cameron vowed to protect has waiting lists at a 3 year high.

Yeah, way to sort the country out...

TBF LJ af fair few of them are not torys.

Cabinet Secretary Lord Butler; former Speaker Baroness Boothroyd; the convenor of the independent crossbenchers, Baroness De Souza; former Labour leader of the Lords Baroness Jay; former Tory Cabinet ministers Lord Forsyth and Lord Mackay of Clashfern; former Labour cabinet minister Lord Adonis; former Liberal leader Lord Steel of Aikwood; and former Master of the Rolls Lord Woolf

Lord David Steel, my first image is still the spitting image puppet.

They've probably already agreed a figure.

EU asks high. Member states says no way and after strong rhetoric both parties agree on a lower figure.

Cameron sells it to the population as a victory.

D <=====cynical when it comes to politics.

If only we still had a Roy Hattersley in politics now, I am sure they could bring it back.

They still have it in the USA.

The solution - to drift away even further from the topic.

It's a good point.

Who actually think Gordon Brown should get the job?

Or are more people upset that our Prime Minister does not think GB is suitable?

So long as whoever gets the job gives the UK any loans on preferential terms and doesn't insist the UK pays more in. I am in favour.

Actually, what concerns me is that Cameron hasn't thought about this very much.

Why not? He certainly should've done. & I don't think it makes him look good coming out saying he hasn't bothered giving it much time.

This is a massive role. Having UK involvement would be a massive bboost to the country. However at the same time, if it is as key role as Cameron goes on to imply (after saying he hasn't thought much about it) then perhaps he blooming well should think about it. & stop coming out with stupid quips.

& spartacus, you accuse me of derailing a thread after 6 pages of that happening? Man up will ya. You've said very little on this thread relating to the OP & then have the nerve to point that rubbish at me, but not commenting on the previous 5-6 pages.

You're as two faced as janus.
