Cons Lost Election 2015 Already Says Telegraph

BertieUK

David Cameron has defended Britain's £11bn foreign aid bill saying the UK Government has a "moral obligation" to help to the world's poorest people.


“The argument of the heart is even when things are difficult at home we should fulfil our moral obligations to the poorest of the world.

There are still more than a billion people living on a dollar a day,” Mr Cameron said.

Do the British public at large agree with this statement?

Is that a genuine statement? just asking out of curiosity because if so I'm wondering if he's forgotten that he's actually PM of the UK and we talk of Pound sterling here.

I wondered if I was seeing things when I first read this statement.

Our family like thousands of others in our country subscribe to many charities but Hey...

Even this old codger says that Charity begins at home...

I am no great fan of DC and GO, but they were on to a hiding to nothing trying to clear up Gordon Browns so called "miracle economy" mess.
IF the Tories were sure they were up for a pasting at the next general election there is a part of me hoping that in the 18 before the election that David Cameron goes on a left wing jolly giving everything the unions want and being everything to everyone(like Labour always do) and then watch a newly elected Labour Government clear up the mess that would surely follow without being able to spend one more penny.

I think that he will not do this because he will still hope to win. There is a prize in that however bad the country is it will probably be getting slightly better, much of the hard work will have been done.

Unfortunately for Cameron the election will come too soon for the largely disinterested electorate to see any improvements only continuing grief and a reluctance to trust a man who has talked of unity but practiced the usual Tory divisiveness. There is still a lot more grief to come and we have yet to see the damage he is about to inflict on the NHS where the scandals of senior manager redundancy packages before being re-employed in the new system and the reduced services are about to unravell.

We all had it too good from 96 through to 2007 we orgied on debt, if we maxed one card we moved to the next. Why do you think payday loans are all the rage? Its because plastic is no longer available to many. This stagnant economy will grow slowly but it will be 10yrs before we are back to normal, (+5 if balls is given keys to no11).

You may have done but many of us did not!

In order to convince the British Public that the Conservatives deserve another term in office they are going to have to choose their words very carefully indeed to convince the country that if they are not given a second term in office we will have a mirror finish of what Labour did to the country last time by going on an unaffodable spending spree.

Choose their words carefully which will not be easy for them but it is their only hope.

Move Cameron and Osborne to the reserve team and they may score points as the country is fed up of their arrogant ways of speaking to the people his bedside manner is much to be desired.

David Cameron must address the identity crisis in his own party before it's too late...

Whats their worst strategic error since the poll tax?

I seem to recall that Labour spend a decade out of Government discussing its own navel and fighting internal battles under the modernisation banner.

bet he sees both deficit reduction targets fail - theres not enough money coming in from waged jobs to help now and the claimant count is rising there.

You may be disappointed. I expected it to reinforce all the reasons I detest the woman, instead it focused largely on an old lady suffering the onset of dementia. I thought it was quite cruel in many ways to do this to a living person.
