The snow goes on, but so must the show

[DanStylus]

2 of the most hate-able people on earth and it only has 10 dislikes?? i hate these 2 people with raw passion. i remember carol vorderman saying cameron only gets seven hours sleep a night how is that possible? LAZY BITCH, SHE THINKS 7 HOURS SLEEP'S LITTLE? it makes me realise how little work shes done to get her millions of £s & now shes a tory campaigner with the attitude that 'poor people are just lazy, i had to work one hour a day & get paid millions and they cant clean toilets for min wage?'

[sweetypie000]

Television just said "it is the season for giving" and promptly went onto a mind washing video about how you should spend your highly taxed money on more highly taxed goods to give to someone.

What I want to know is - why is it a season to give ? Give ? what give and spend more in rip off Britiain? pay that tax eh ? The government have never given US anything yet we are supposed to feel compelled to show generocity to each other and give at this time of year and mothers day, fathers day etc etc

[TimmyandDavid]

Dam I find David soooooo Hot his laugh sends tingles down my spine <3

[sweetypie000]

@TimmyandDavid mines a little bit more in front it sends chills into the pit of my stomach anytime I see a PM come along who dosen't do anything good for the man in the stree only the rich man in the street

[NewbiereViewer92]

Exams getting easier? Tell that to the teenagers who have to take them and then see what kind of reaction you get!

Apart from that, playing in the snow with David Cameron? LOL

[A4whistle]

If you Tories gave a toss about the bottom 90% you might have crossed the magic 326 line - But Dave you are a knob.

[doubts]

Carol is obviously a bit dumb

[twiddlingthumbs2]

Now could you see Brown having fun and throwing snowballs like that, no you can not. the miserable boring sod that he is

[televisewhatyouwant]

Hahaha! David's just a regular guy like every one of us! This is great, really! I want a leader who can play in the snow and wash dishes!

[televisewhatyouwant]

Hahaha! David's just a regular guy like every one of us! This is great, really! I want a leader who can play in the snow and wash dishes!

[televisewhatyouwant]

Hahaha! David's just a regular guy like every one of us! This is great, really! I want a leader who can play in the snow and wash dishes!

[paddedpencil]

you could cut the sexual tension in this video with a KNIFE!

[thecroftdrax]

Vote Conservative!!

[Bubaloo37]

Oh, this was such a crazy day! The whole city shut down. As someone who comes from a very snowy area originally, I thought it was hilarious.

[Argonaut3100]

Count Down to a new Government.

[BullingdonMuppets]

Yes, but the show DIDN'T go on in London, did it? Thanks to the Tory clown in charge of the city. An embarassment in the eyes of the world, and if thats a taster of a conservative government, God help us decent folk.

[brighty0808]

I doubt ur decent

[skiguru99]

I decided not to take a blind bit of notice after i read your name. Seriously get a life. The Tories are coming in to give us a brake from Labour incompetence whatever you think about his past. START LIVING IN THE FUTURE!

[silenthunter0]

Sorry?  Labour supporters ? . . . Decent?

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahaha!

You people wouldn't know 'decency' if it fell out of your expenses claims right onto your lap.

[A4whistle]

@silenthunter0 All Politicos are scum - even your beloved tory twats. So no victory for you blue boys. Tough. Perhaps if you gave a toss about state services rather than sucking Ashcroft`s dick you might have won.

[juiceproducer]

Make the serial "Cosmos" by Dr Carl Sagan part of schooling to make the connection between science, maths and possibility!

[Judep22]

I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of David Cameron on the death of his

6 year old son Ivan earlier today.

Our thoughts are with him and his family.

[Ntone606]

I'll take a new government please Carol!

[theRod1995]

2nd of February:

Gordon Brown trying to help the Economical situation

David Cameron having a snowball fight!

Who do you want in 10 Downing street?

[steps1]

1997-2007

Gordon Brown, as Chancellor slowly but surely bringing the country to its knees

2007-2009

Gordon Brown, as our farce of a PM, saddling the country and future generations with trillions of debt, unemployment rising, labour party riddled with sleaze, Brown savaging millions of his own with the 10p tax fiasco, adding a further £12 billion in debt with a pointless VAT cut etc etc

Yes, I know exactly who I want in 10 Downing Street!

[felixlighta]

lol david im not sure you put your all into that snowball throw!

[thedavewalkershow]

IS snow balling going to be one of our next rights to be taken away under health and safety or the human rights act,may be under some counter terroism laws.or may be browns thinking of taxing us for having some fun.never mind 120000pounds under the counter and a few labour peirs we can soon get the laws changed back.AND THATS CHEAP.

GOD BLESS GREAT BRITAIN AND ALL WHO ARE DROWNING UNDER A SEA OF LABOUR BULL SHIT.

Explain to David how 2002 to 2008 is 3years! one has bot operated for

[AxisDynide]

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED CAROL VORDERMAN!!

Firstly you side with loan sharks and con old people out of the homes and money using your trusted "mathematical" persona as means to do this. SHAME ON YOU

Secondly you side with the torries, who given the chance would sell our education system right up the river.

And Forthly there is no problem with out mathematics in this country!!!

Shame on you Carol, SHAME ON YOU

[Quizcos]

Couldn't agree more. It's private debt (not public debt) that has been the main cause of the financial crisis. So for David Cameron to support Carol Vorderman shows how shockingly low he will go for a little publicity.

[tugsandtost]

Fantastic comment. Carol and the Tories deserve each other.

[BiggerManDanYou]

Your just talking a pile of rubbish really.

[OhSmeg]

And what was the 700 million that George Bush forced down our throats to bail out the banks. Was that just some mad money from under someone's mattress.

And all this spending, on both sides of the Atlantic, for a war that everyone whines about on YouTube? Where's that money coming from? I know your great grand children.

[jman375]

Couldn't imagine Fatty going out there.

To busy printing money and then flushing it down the toilet.

[tugsandtost]

Fatty? Think how Cameron'll look in ten years. His little features will be swallowed up by a blimpish face. But looks really shouldn't matter when we're talking politics but all the modern day Tories care about is image.

[CheekTV]

Carol is great - even Cameron comes across well in this.

[tugsandtost]

This is what Cameron is all about. Only show. CV is just a tv presenter with a knack for mental arithmetic. She is not an educationalist or a mathemitician. The Tories are a rabble concerned only with image and status. I can't wait for the election when the Tories are finally tested.

VOTE LABOUR

[jman375]

She has got a Degree in maths,which is what you need to be a teacher.Although not a very good one so i read.

Labour did the same kind of thing with Lloyd Groseman making menus for the NHS....now that was all show. The food is still terrible.

There is not the slightest chance of Labour winning the next election.

[Peckwater4]

My maths teacher said that Carol got a 3rd :O

[tugsandtost]

We'll see about the next election. That's the wonderful thing about democracy is that it produces surprises. Still think poor dave and George look vulnerable. The latest choices of allies have been odd. Carol Vorderman is light weight and Clarke brings European splits to mind.

Take care and bad luck (in purely party political terms).

[movement26]

Mmmmmmmmm a bit of mutual admiration going on there .

[Stewartp]

Isn't Carol doing the ads for lending money to chavs anymore?

[jman375]

No money to lend anymore.

[Peckwater4]

I am an A-level maths student and I feel that, if maths is easier now, it is not fair to undermine the hard work of those who do perform well in school by constantly highlighting such changes. I have been predicted an A in maths and after hearing what Carol said about the level of maths, I feel as if I have had some value taken away from it (even though it is the highest achievable grade at A-level)

[icd86]

Hi Peckwater4, i can understand that the constant accusations of dumbing down can be irritataing for the students studying hard for exams, it has been going on for years. Unfortunately many of these ccusations are justified and keeping quite about it doesnt do anyone any favours, least of all the students. As higher grades become easier to obtain it becomes that much harder for exceptional students to distinguish themselves and gain university places or jobs.

[kkvh4026]

In part it's easier because we have more practise exam papers, we have access to more resources and better quality teaching that we find exams easier. Also we don't have a quota syastem limiting the % of people that can get A's which is fairer. Those aren't bad things, but I do feel we need t be challenged more. Introducing an A* grade would make us more competative at A Level.Certainly GCSE's were easier that O levels. But universities have at least maintained high challenging standards.

[jman375]

Your 'A' now would have been a 'C' 20 years ago.

[Peckwater4]

That is a completely illogical claim. As an A is currently the highest grade at A-level, there is no way that I could do better. However, if I were predicted a B, then that would suggest that my mathematical proficiency has an upper limit which has been outlined by my teacher. In that case you may have a valid point. But as I am expected to get the highest grade possible, that comment is invalid and quite foolish.

[chuckmonkey7337]

yeah jman375 it's really a shame people used to move to britain for the education

[jman375]

It's simple really you would have to do a lot more work to get an A if you was studying 20 years ago.

The amount you did to get your A now would have got you a C.

Think of it as it's 25% easier than it was 20 years ago.

Your lucky,although i think employers don't think as highly of A levels as they used to,because of the dumbing down and some schools now use the baccalaureate ,because they have lost faith in A levels.

[Peckwater4]

You cannot make a claim of that nature unless you have directly experienced both periods of A-level. A teacher would be in a position to make such observations and my maths teacher totally disagrees. These arguments are based solely around improved performance. You seem like a bitter person, who's trying to take away value from the hard work of many students. I have no control over the difficulty of A-levels, so all I can do is work hard and get a good grade. So who are you to talk like that?

[jman375]

Just 'cos you don't like the fact doesn't make it untrue.

[Peckwater4]

what is wrong with you? You are making unjustified claims and arguing them like a spoilt toddler. Shall we just skip this stage and move on to the 'I know you are, but what am I?' stage? If you are going to make a vague attempt at an academic argument, then I suggest you acquire some sophistication and communicate properly i.e. because, not "cos". Or are you referring to trigonometry?

[jman375]

'I know you are, but what am I?' bit childish,but it made me laugh.

Shame they don't teach common sense at you school matey.

[Peckwater4]

Common sense isn't something you're taught in school 'matey', it is something you accumulate from life experience. If you actually took the time to read my post, rather than looking at the 'funny words', you wouldn't have been able to make that comment. This will be my last post on this video as my initial goal was to present a student's view on the matter and not to get into a petty quarrel with a simpleton who isn't even in a position to make the claims on this topic.

[jman375]

Common sense isn't something you're taught in school

Obviously : ) LOL!

[BoredPigeonMedia]

At least David Cameron has a human side, aside from Gordon Brown the mumbling fat killjoy.

Cameron has my vote anyday.

[Goolz]

But its an act, trust me, ive seen him without cameras around, not a nice man.

[trip3newton]

Yeah hes a Cock.

[toomuchwhiskey]

your a cock

[kkvh4026]

Haven't seen him off camera, but there is a massive difference to him on his youtube channel to ridiculous rants in the House of Commons which is just name calling and no policies.

It's just like looking at another Tony Blair: young, vague, gimmicky, and an unpopular government that has almost identical policies.

Although I admit this was the 1st time I've seen him say something substative and risky in stating that exams have definetly got easier.

[yohaneuano4]

I struggled with maths in school because a) it didn't appear, in my narrow conception of the world (and bear in mind that a lot of teenagers have that) particularly relevant - in the real world, in history, in philosophy and b) I couldn't find any enjoyment in it. The humanities, arts, and basic sciences are often inextricably linked to people's recreational activities and interests. I can only speak for myself, but I think these are barriers for a lot of people.

[andymustnotdie]

I despise David Cameron with an absolute passion.

Why I am watching the video then, you ask? Because every has their own opinion, that' why.

[WillB85]

He's a decent bloke and unlike King Brown, he seems to give a damn.

[brianprime]

i dont like him either, i was just looking at the snow, oh, and carol.

[sjp7464]

Superb. Two brilliant minds talking simple common sense and showing their down to earth sides too. Long may it continue. Our education system ( along with everything else in the UK thanks to Labour ) is in one hell of a mess. Good on you David and Carol.

[tartanfox000]

Good to see the Conservatives trying to do something about maths and the need to enthuse young people. Its a smart move taking Carol Vordeman on board, I'm sure she will work hard with her task force and come up with good recommendations. As a nation we are falling behind and once again its the Conservatives who are adopting a problem solving approach. One wonders how maths literate Gordon Brown is given his recent drunken sailor spending sprees - the figures don't add up!

[tarmit2]

OMG he's a human being - when does he take over from the current lot ? Sooner the better.

[NipplePhone]

Check out my "Snowy Video" the weather in wales is embarrasing..

[madeluxx]

David Cameron is the only politician who can frolick in the snow and still look cool doing it.

You go, Dave!

[neroblack]

I love Cameron

[madeluxx]

Heck yes =D

[solidasaroc22]

Ask teachers how to teach mathsbut bring back school discipline first

[HKLivingston]

Hear! Hear!

[jerrin91]

stand up all of u. climate changing is really happening. saturday it was sunny, sunday it was gloomy and 2day it was snowing. nowadays climate is not settled. 10 years ago, we knew what climate january was gonna have but now it changed. anyway lets face it coz v have done many bad things 2 mother nature & now she is punsihing us back. we deserve it. this world was created 4 peace & life but wild nature of humans turned this heaven into a hell of technology, experiments, inventions & evil things

[warmonger357]

Snow was not that bad I may only get 12 MPG in my old petrol Land Rover but it got me to work.

[samtwist]

I don't know about maths, but the standard of literacy on this page is appalling.

[HKLivingston]

SAMTWIST:

> I don't know about maths, but the standard of literacy on this page is appalling.

LOL

[williamwesterkirk]

75% of the adults in the UK are good at Maths. The other 30% can't count..

Carol can sell me chocolate fireguard... she's so.............. mmmpppwwah!

[roryjacksonzoology]

what a cunt

[caversmill]

Great Party, a bit of propaganda, were the fun as well as serious party but i think its allowable considering cameron could probaby do a video smoking cannabis and sleeping with a prostitute and we'd still favour him over gordon brown =]

[semiliteratedgod]

maths is way overrated

[Altxandr]

Only competent and prepared young people in a condition to solve the big and deep problems.

[spittingimage4005]

you look cute in the snow

[britishjohn04]

Look what Brown inherited from the Major government. Brown rode on the back of the Tory boom and spent so much money that we now have a ruined pension system, more people on welfare than ever before, more immigrants than ever before, that pay hardly any tax because they are poor, and we a debt level that is going to take 3 generations to pay off. In the 80s the Tories rescued the economy by restructuring it away from failing industries that we couldn't compete in.

[tugsandtost]

Rubbish. Of course the economy was growing when Brown took over. It was recovering from a recession. But remember how tight Brown had to be in the first two years because the Tories had left such a mess. There is no Tory chancellor who has or could keep the British economy as stable and growing as GB. The tories restructured the economy through their sheer macroeconomic incompetence. They also made us too dependent on the financial sector and see where that's got us. Vote Labour!

[steps1]

Nurse!!!

The Tories left a Golden Economy in 1997..even Blair said so..and while we're at it..it was a world apart from the horror show that Labour handed to the Tories in 1979..winter of discontent..sick man of Europe..one of the reasons why the Tory Party exists is to clean up the horrific mess left by the previous Labour administration..and it's history repeating itself. Brown is an unelected farce of a PM who is bringing the country to its knees..the sooner he is out the better!!

[theRod1995]

YOu cannot blame Mr.Brown for the situation we are in! This is a global depression!

[steps1]

Is it 'global'? Did it begin in 'America' by any chance? arf arf..you're almost as naive as the plonker who's unfortunately in charge at the moment, the plonker who didn't fix the roof when the sun was shining..yes many other countries are affected but why are we in such a horrific position compared to them? i don't remember it being 'global' or 'due to America' when Brown was boasting years back..he promised the end to boom and bust..he lied and unlike Obama this plonker won't say sorry

[theRod1995]

Iceland, Ireland and many other countries are in worse situations than us! and speaking of Obama, do you know what the American president said about Mr. Cameron?

What a lightweight! Do not mention Mr Obama when praising Cameron!

[steps1]

Oh I take it all back..Brown slowly destroying the country with his inept economics and useless regulatory system which he himself put in place isn't after a place isn't a problem after all..because ICELAND are worse off!!?? Are you for real? And I wasn't aware you knew Obama personally..i'm absolutely confident therefore you will be able to provide a quote where Obama said that..i would be so embarrassed for you if all you could provide was "sources close to Obama" or "an insider said" ..??

[britishjohn04]

If you want a history lesson, lets go. It was Labour that wanted to give up Britain's empire. The British empire allowed us to dominate the world markets and manufacturing. Then when we have freedom and no empire, Labour and the unions wonder why we can't compete any more. The people Labour wanted to free in India, are now taking our jobs because they can pay slave wages. If anything, the working class need to blame Labour for wasting money on the NHS rather than rebuilding our empire after

[britishjohn04]

...the war. It always amazes me the extent to which Labour, unions and socialists, have a fundamental lack of economic knowledge. Labour always spend too much and they always spend it on people that contribute the least and whom are the least deserving. Good thing for me, I moved to America last year, I won't have to pay for this useless Labour government. I would urge any professional or educated young person to quit Britain and let the dregs pay for themselves.

[youthsnafu]

I can't quite resist commenting on the delicious irony that you've moved to America at the advent of possibly one of the biggest-spending, left-leaning administrations of recent political history. That said, it seems a fitting lesson for someone with that typical non-compassionate conservatism. Embrace the new dialogue: left and right are long gone, and no longer helpful for understanding or crafting governments which work.

[britishjohn04]

I moved here while Bush was still in power, not Obama. I preferred John McCain over Obama, by a mile. Personally I don't buy the Obama mantra that he has ended left-right politics, especially when he is ramming through a spending splurge, stimulus package that got no, I repeat NO support from any Republicans or the right of politics. This is a democratic congress and white house ramming through their big spend agenda, while pretending to build a consensus.  Right-left are not gone.

[youthsnafu]

That's a fair point, actually - right-left are only gone for those who let them.

McCain is terrific, but best as a maverick, not a president. I enjoyed his recent challenges to the stimulus plan; JM at his best. In honesty, the spending of the stimulus package makes me nervous (although Pelosi is responsible for the partisan nature of it, to Obama's dismay). The bottom line is that Bush oversaw and facilitated the march to our current economic crisis: the Republicans had their chance, for now.

[jman375]

Dude!! The more i hear about what they are doing in the US the more it sounds just like the Labour party.

They think they can save/control everybody,and there are lots who want to be saved & controlled.

[youthsnafu]

Then democracy decrees we must give the people what they want.

[britishjohn04]

This is good. Britain needs to be reborn out of the ashes of Labour rule by embracing mathematics, science, technology and engineering in order to have a stake in the future industries that will allow us to remain a great power. This is the land of Newton, Brunell and Darwin, surely we can lead the world again in science and technology. We need to look at countries like Japan and see how they do it.

[zzxzqwq]

and Maxwell the famous scientist on magnetism.

[tugsandtost]

Even now I bet our elite scientific and maths capacities are better than the Japanese. The Japanese don't do well in manufacturing just because of primary maths education. Anyway, under Labour we've been moving up the economic league table rather than falling down it. Labour have made this country strong. The weak Tories'll just ruin it.

Take care

[jman375]

I can't even be bothered to reply now to each comment. I still wish you luck,your really ,really gonna need it. Buy some gold before it's to late,numbnuts ;)

[britishjohn04]

You are joking right? Is this a bit like Orwell's 1984 where war is peace and bankruptcy is strength and debt for future generations is prosperity for the future? You say they have made the country strong, strong for whom? Do you mean people on low incomes that pay hardly any tax or those on welfare, or maybe immigrants, that have take 9 out of every 10 new jobs. No, making Britain strong would be making Britain middle class strong and only the Tories ever do that.

[britishjohn04]

*taken

*Britain's

[tugsandtost]

Not joking at all. The economy grew for a decade under Brown. The Tories always screw up the economy: Churchill and the gold standard, Howe's missed monetary targets and Lawson's general incompetence. This recession was caused by Cameron's greedy banker friends. Toady middle class types like you kick hard working immigrants and suck up to rich, posh boys like David Cameron. The right is too weak to govern.

[mrichards55]

I'd love to play with Carol in the snow.

[spittingimage4005]

me too and then get her down

[puddyhuston]

Great video I love it !

[viddid]

I'd pick Carol to chair the task force even if it wasn't about Maths. Good video.

[KascaBlack]

Lol I like Cameron, nice to see that a little bit of snow doesnt stop him getting the work done, but nice to see he can mess around like the rest of us as well!

[10mjt29]

nice to see you have brains as well as beauty on our side david, unlike the ruleling mob that have been in the last eleven years

[yaffle]

I heard that Cameron wrote his name in the snow afterwards.

[samtwist]

lol

[quineeee]

He's such dude, i love him

[romanali1]

The "Labour's Debt Crisis" video, though painstakingly done, had the feel of "trying too hard" to impress.

The "Labour's sums don't add up" video felt a bit cheap; the kind of dig we would expect from, say, the John McCain camp.

This one was perfect. It contained a moderate level of (unpredictable, but excusable) fun, and a personal touch. It didn't have a dig at Gordon, but focussed on the Tory solution.

Btw, I am not a Tory supporter. (Yay Respect!)

Now where is my consultancy fee? :-)

[romanali1]

Oh btw, I know you need to throw the snowball in a "politically correct" manner, but come on, throw it like a man! Ok, you can't throw it hard, you are a politician, but if you threw it straight, without an arc in the trajectory, it would be perfect.

Sorry ... I just had to say. :-)

[ScopesChannel]

good to see Carols a torie

[gayboiPhil]

at least cameron has a sense of humour

[nintendolad]

But a shoddy aim, if you fought him in a snowball fight you'll be perfectly fine just as long as you stand right in front of him! =D
