Conservative Party Political Broadcast - November 2009

[ProtestantsRUs]

What utter tosh. The last guy in particular made me almost cry in despair... Cameron doesn't care about returning Britain to its glory days, he's more interested in money, power and having a good image as your every day man!

[SageY91]

0:01 - 0:04 "look at all that land i could make millions from while the people are starving and trying to make a living out of jack shit"

[PeteGeeza86]

Gordan Brown was woeful,but i don't trust the Tories as far as a i can p!ss.

[calumc18]

im working on a building site with over 850 men and women ... we went round and asked who they will be voting only 2 for the torys 3 for the lib dems ! 4 more years off labour here we come

VOTE LABOUR dont let the conservatives bring britain back into a recession we dont need a double dip

[max31198]

Well Lab is over. Its not been a bad job over the last 13 years. but if you look underneath at our uk mortgage moving towards 1,400,000,000,000

the interest on that is how many hosipitals or schools or police or what ever your thing is! We need a business party for 10 years to sort it .

We can t go on spending £4 when we earn £3

[guitarguru998]

still sounds reminiscent of Thatcher =P

[max31198]

@guitarguru998 Is that a good thing, in your opinion?

[CharmingLordSausage]

Brown inherited a relatively benign financial situation from Clarke in 1997. What did he do with this stability?

[jjMacaDangDang]

Vote labour, Cameron's a posh nob who has stupid, idealistic dreams that are impossible to put into action. If the Torys get in then millions of people will be made redundant (mainly people from the public sector) which will mean less people paying taxes which will mean they will have to be raised which will put strain on the people who still have jobs, everybody looses!

[vulnerabledonkey]

@jjMacaDangDang ...what?

[max31198]

@jjMacaDangDang If you can only insult someone then perhaps you a "stupid"

All parties all have to cut the public sector and they have all said they will.

And as for less tax income, - who pays the wages? The tax payer

This party seems the only party who want to help the real economy the businesses that make money that can be taxed to pay for the public sector.

And where are the LIB dems on this ? where are their policies?

[5thVenus]

only nick griffin of the BNP(british national party) has any real solutions.

all he's saying is that your concerns are important in a fancy style

[kikusdream]

@5thVenus - hahaha...you've got to be kidding right? 'real solutions'??? They're policies are a left-wing socialist cocktail with a underying lace of Racism. Even without the racism their economic policies are nothing less than demented. Hahahaha....'real solutions', made my day you did. Ok let me put it this way if you can explain to me their economic policies I will vote bnp - good luck. Hahahahaha!

[commentingonall]

Conservatives are more about a fairer order unlike Labour who i feel cripples the country by giving to the lazy who have not worked a day in their lives and choose never to do so due to having petty excuses.

[blackmichael75]

Is anyone fooled by this? We want autonomy in our communities so we turn to the traditional ruling class, an Eton public schoolboy? A party that has always represented narrow elitist business interests, always fucked over the poor? These people are either closet fascists or have very short memories.

[thedavewalkershow]

Hi black i am a working class, usual story parents lived from hand to mouth,second hand cloths,could not read write when i left school,mother hiding from the rent man,father spent most of his time talking a load of bollocks about the working class struggle mainly from the bottom of a beer glass, pissed the money up the wall every day,most of my working class friends would give anything for there children to go to ETON its called progress.

[blackmichael75]

Really? And how many of them will get into Eton? Don't be naive.

[kaypaxian1]

yip, good that the guy asked about his local post office closing, but mr cameron wouldnt like to answer that one. the tories will sell the royal mail, and the service which is already creeking at the seems, will become a laughing stock, another rock in our day to day lives taken away, in the name of profit. becuase we must trust the business world they care about people, lol, lol

[projectbrownman]

"I don't tell people what they want to hear; I tell people what they need to hear."

What about telling people the truth?

[golsno147]

I think Tory" policy" is formed by having Santa Claus letters redirected and analysed to pander to popular appeal.. It surely cannot be based on fundamental Tory philosophy i.e. low taxation for the wealthy, cut and abolish social security, sell off parts of the National Health Service, encourage wealth creation-whatever the consequebces for the under priveleged- oppose regulation-especially affecting their City friends. Most of us see through the Cameron spin and know their real agenda.

[SurfariSam]

golsno147. Excellent comment!

Nice Mr. Cameron pandering to popular appeal, without any firm policies, appears to be the only Conservative plan for election. Memories of the Thatcher governments should indeed set warning bells ringing as to their real policies.

[nelsonsilk]

my point is not to trust either right or left wing we need a whole new stucture and goverment.

[karuspery]

@nelsonsilk

SPOT ON. A whole new landscape.

Google Common Purpose by Brian Gerrish.

At least these guys let us leave comments-Labours site lets you leave comments and then delete them.

[nelsonsilk]

Simple dont vote for blue and red.

VOTE UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY/LIB DEMS/BNP...

[SurfariSam]

Where's the point? The Lib/Dems will probably gain a few seats but in genuine political terms the other two may as well not exist.

[Pearlwig]

I don't think the Conservatives have the right leader.

I have never voted Conservative but if Lord Monckton was the leader I would.

[LVE91]

i dont trust Cameron. Im 18 years of age so have no poltical affiliation yet - but although i recognise Brown and the Labour party have not delivered many of their promises, there is just something about this man that I dont trust. I think Brown has the interest of the whole nation at the top of his agenda, rather than a minority of lucky and priviledged 'toffs' that I believe Cameron is looking out for.

[staponsa1]

@LVE91

Brown only cares for himself, if he didn't he would have called an election by now instead of waiting until the last possible moment.

[nelsonsilk]

learn some politics before you try and comment

[staponsa1]

@nelsonsilk

You mean Gordon is playing politics, waiting until the recession is over so he can bribe voters with benefits he can't afford therefore winning some much needed support?

Thank you for the lesson in politics son.

[RandomNameName]

I like this Cameron Direct thing, i think more politicians need to do this.

However, I do not like the conservatives at all, if your not high middle class or upper class your not going to benefit from him, I mean Cameron alone has a personnel fortune in the millions and went to Oxford and was in that infamous bullington club. All the high up tories are stinking rich, if that dosent tell you what their priorities are then i don't know what will.

[oursilly]

Glib rubbish.

[SurfariSam]

Has Dave's singular policy of part nationalising the Betws-y-Coed Memorial Hall already sealed Betws-y-Coed for the Tories?

[SuperMephistopheles]

If you've got a public sector job, kiss it goodbye. Millions are sleepwalking in to voting Tory without actually knowing what this party stands for. Cameron is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

[fichbar]

Good, the public sector does not create wealth and we are in a recession, so of course it needs to be cut down.

[Rivingtone]

Conservatives will deliver us from this mess =]

[vidinf4eice]

He is just Labour with a blue tie. Liblabcon are all the same.

People are waking up.

VOTE BNP!

[bobphillifent]

The fact that so many ANTI-Conervatives have made comments on this vid clip shiows that it is bothering them.

Goodbye Gordon Bean(the unelected PM), goodby Mandy Pandy(the unelected REAL PM)!!

VOTE CONSERVATIVE!

[calumc18]

@bobphillifent the fact that so many anti-conconservatives are in the comments shows that the torys have no support !! work it out thick fu*k

[Vampified]

@calumc18 No support? I think the fact you're replying to a "VOTE CONSERVATIVE" comment, and the fact that they won the largest number of the seats in the election shows that they did. Work it out?

[othomas94]

I love all the anti-tories I really do and the fact you blame us all and slate us calling us "public school boys". I was in a state school for 8 years, I'm now in my third year of public school and all along I was a Tory supporter.

Look back at all the great prime ministers, with the exception of Clement Atlee they've all be conservative. But let's not dwell in the past.

[othomas94]

Whether you like it or not Gordon Brown and the latter years of Blair have discredited Labour. Blair and "new labour" was just Tory in disguise...now we have a chance to get this country moving again and the only way to do so is vote in a conservative government. Votes for minor parties are pathetic not protest..they don't help anyone. Labour have no decent policies of their own and they have put this country into a mess.

[othomas94]

The Conservatives were the first party to admit we need cuts and we need to tackle the deficit and then give new business' opportunity to grow and recruit to provide new jobs.

If you want Britain to get moving again, get down and vote Conservative in may. It's the only way.

[hacH512]

''Giving it to me straight''

A tear came to my eye.

Messers Cameron and Osbourne can spout all this honesty nonsense; I however hear nothing but the same old Tory mantra. The truth is that under this leadership the party has a distinct lack of substance.

[blackbeasthamish]

Cameron spouts as much crap as Blair. There's no real difference between these two out of touch public school educated twits. I am a lifelong Conservative voter but have no confidence in this lot. I have e mailed them twice for details of some of their vague policies but had no reply. They don't care about the voters because they arrogantly think its already in the bag, but with their lead down to 6% they could get a shock. Voting for one of the smaller parties looks increasingly attractive

[midr06]

One taken on the same day, which is more respected, had the Tories 13 pts ahead. One today says 17 pts ahead. But the ones in the biased lefty media are the only ones that count, aren't they? back under your bridge, now.

[blackbeasthamish]

Biased left media? This particular poll was quoted in the Mail on Sunday, a paper which I take every week and whose political views are generally somewhere to the right of Mussolini. Get real and take your blinkers off. I have always been a Conservative but I think that with his "Cameron,s Cutiies" and "hug a hoodie" mentality Cameron is just a Bllair in sheep's clothing. Even the right wing press can see right through him

[SurfariSam]

This could, of course, be a deliberate plan by the conservatives to actually lose the next general election. Which would make David Cameron a lot smarter than you might think.

[semigotbanned]

he's trying real hard isn't he

[deskpot1]

Broke there promise on the EU revised treaty. That was a BIG promise to the UK people and it was a Bib promised BROKEN in a BIG way.

[YouKnowJack]

And NuLab didn't promise anything at all before signing us up to the agreement?!?

You forget they swore they would have a referendum on Europe as an election pledge, but we were repeatedly told "the time is not right" until Brown came in, ignored that promise entirely, and signed us up to Europe without ever asking if we the people wanted it.

He even turned up at an odd time to avoid the photos of him with the other leaders, after signing away what should be sovereign.

Such a short memory...

[deskpot1]

I did'nt say anything about Labour braking or keeping promises at all , Im concerned with the activities of the Conservatives going into a general election. Since you bring it up are you saying that because both of the political parties lied we should just go with the flow? I'll vote for a different party just to change the seen and age group of the present Goverment. Youth in any organisation or format brings fresh approaches.

[vidinf4eice]

Man at C & A returns! What a complete ponce.

No speeches, no long introductions...NO POLICIES.

[Scampirat]

Voting Tory thinking you are going to get a better deal is like swapping a Vauxhall Astra for a Range Rover hoping for better fuel consumption. The Tories are only interested in making the rich richer and the poor poorer, Remember The Milk Snatcher, I'm no fan of New Labour but its paradise compared to life under Thatcher!

[SurfariSam]

What policies were there in this load of rubbish? A pledge not to cut the Health Service and a community right to buy scheme; whatever that means.

Hardly a platform of reform is it?

[freatork1]

"..and a community right to buy scheme; whatever that means."

Would it be the community as a whole, or lots of smaller groups competing to buy these things? Would the new private owners be accountable to the community as a whole, the Counci? Could Conservative Councils end up flogging stuff off to their buddies? Just think of all the bureaucracy involved.

[SurfariSam]

Yes, populist rhetoric, like the attempt to turn this meeting into a personality comparison between Cameron and Brown. A community right to buy scheme means absolutely nothing. The community has the right to buy now, if it can afford to.

[YouKnowJack]

You are right - far better to leave it boarded up for eternity, owned by big business, as has happened to huge swathes of Manchester under Labour.

It can't be right that the few people still living in their houses are treated with contempt for being stupid enough to own, while the scum get lifted off to new estates to destroy, while the shit tips they leave behind are left to drag down those who paid good money under right-to-buy.

[freatork1]

He claims "things will get better" without saying HOW, and then says that people will think "at least these guys are giving it me straight."

[TmplKnght]

Labour couldn't fix this country even if they wanted to, and they clearly have no interest in doing so. Their members and MPs do not have the mental capacity to get the job done, they do not recognise the problems and have no idea how to solve them. However, the Labour government has no desire to fix the country, they are not interested in making things work, all they care about is holding onto power whatever the cost, no matter how much damage they cause to every single one of our lives.

[TmplKnght]

With a Tory government, Inheritance Tax will become something that is only paid by the very wealthy, not the other way around!! You've lived for over a decade with constant lies from the Labour party, how many more years will it take you to wake up to it?? In 1979, Labour and the Unions destroyed the British economy and it took a Conservative government to rebuild it.. Now in 2009 Labour have done it again, only now, the economy is worse than before and society is crumbling.

[freatork1]

"With a Tory government, Inheritance Tax will become something that is only paid by the very wealthy..."

In practice, many wealthy people would become exempt from paying inheritence tax. This, while freezing pay for public sector workers.

[SurfariSam]

Stay on YouTube and type in :- Spitting Image - Jerusalem.

Do you really want them back?

[Scampirat]

No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Aneurin Bevan

Says it all really!

[DoctorTofwho]

Labour were left with the largest economy in 1997 and where has it all gone?

Thats why I'm voting Tory

[bristol10]

I'd ask why the Tories have committed to giving 3000 of the wealthiest families a £200000 tax giveaway yet will not commit to maintaining the pensioners winter fuel allowance.

[liberaceuk]

They're not! Stop falling for Labour lies. Anyone leaving over a million quid will still pay inheritance tax.

[freatork1]

"Hi David. I'd like to ask if it's right to freeze pay for public sector workers while cutting inheritance-tax for the wealthy?"

Will you ever see THAT on his videos???

It's all just gloss.

[muziclov1]

I work hard at what i do, yet i don't get paid for it. I'm seeking performance-based donations or full time wage for the hours of game developing work, which i can prove to you entirely. All i want is somebody to admire and respect and merit my work ethic and that i'm a real person with real needs. Everybody else online seem to be looking for a fast buck, but not me, that's why i'm different. For more info click on my username, to see the video, then my webpage.

Search " badcrooner " on youtube to watch Pete Russell' moving new Christmas song " At this time of year " written for the lost and the lonely

[keeone]

Have you noticed that on the Q? regarding the NHS When asked about ringfencing monies his reply was that they SHOULD do this but not that they will.

[BVAppleSeed]

A pathetic Queen's speech. A law to cut the appalling budget deficit in half in 4 years. Penalty for not doing so? Er, none. How to do so? Er, don't know. A law guaranteeing every child a 'good' education. Penalty for not doing so? Er, none. How to do so? Er, don't know.

Actual result - lawyers will ensure that every head teacher spends his entire day in court. After 12 years of Labour government, this country is an absolute mess. Time for a change? Having seen this video - Definitely!

[fichbar]

well said.

[AdamSandell]

I think anyone can go, obviously rude people are not included in the video

[10671067]

I agree, labour have left this country in such pristine working order, how could anyone hope to improve on this glorius workers paradise created by comrade brown?

[fichbar]

lol

[mikesey1]

One thing one instantly notices about old Dave, is how sincere he appears to be.

I would certainly consider voting Tory at the next election, abandoning my socialist credentials for once. However, if Dave starts the old "privatise" everything, which only gives bad service to the consumer and wealth to the shareholders; picks on the sick and poor , reducing their benefits, etc., then he will find he is only in power for four years, with no second chance from me or anyone else.

[vidinf4eice]

Well Tony "looked"very sincere too didn't he?

There are OTHER parties than Labour/Tory -

THERE IS NO LAW THAT SAYS POWER HAS TO KEEP PASSING FROM LABOUR TO TORY.

[fichbar]

Yes but they are buffoons who don't offer a serious alternative, and don't stand a chance of winning. I mean there is more chance of finding an eskimo in the sahara desert than say The Green party or UKIP ever taking power. lol.

[zola253109]

And what "serious alternative" does Cameron offer? All I see is the same old Thatcherite rhetoric, more debt, more consumption, more of the same old same old. Also, the public sector does not "create wealth". That's the point, it delivers services which are supposed to be protected from the market because they are too important to be left to chance. But just how much wealth is the City "creating" at present? In fact, how much real money has it ever created?

[zola253109]

One more thing. you do realise that Cameron's talk of empowering communities against state intervention is just a (perverted) take on what the Greens have been saying for years. I sat perversion as for Cameron, unlike the Greens, red tape should not just be cut for those trying to buy their local pub bu also for City bankers and people like Tesco, who have shown themselves to be very harmful to communties.

[waynekit]

This is as good a political video as one has the right to expect. The difference between the Tories and Labour (notice New has now been dropped) it is that it is in the DNA of a Tory to try and reduce taxes wherever possible, the opposite is true of Labour. They will find everyway possible to remove your discretionary spending power so that they can pursue a statist agenda. The last time we had a Labour government of any length we finished up with IMF, now look at the mess we are in!!!

[treacleeater]

The Tory mindset is that by reducing taxes for the rich this will encourage and stimulate entrepreneurs and business who will then create jobs and money for the economy. Whilst actually what we see is the rich willing to do everything to keep its wealth so you and me see no benefit. Deregulation of the financial markets and selling off our national assets were Tory actions in the 80s. These decisions are still echoing around our estates and Northern towns. And we're happy to welcome them back?

[TermiteVideo]

I guess if you are a Labour voter you will hate this. It just looks so straightforward and honest. Of course it is 'stage-managed' it's a film! At least it didn't make me cringe, unlike Gordon's tortured efforts on YouTube. Now that's stage management!

[towbartone]

At least Cameron is trying to tell it as it is and as it will be, Yet again the good old labour party has left us in a mess which the tories will clear up, but they will end up unpopular for making the decisions the self serving Labour mob will not make.

I am sick of hearing the old Labour chestnut of "it's all their fault" Labour have been in power for 12 years and this mess is their doing and no one elses.

[fichbar]

Exactly, and before labour came to power, all those years ago, Britain was booming because of Tory policy.

[zola253109]

I seriously doubt Britain was "booming" as it those exact Thatcherite policies were carried on by New Labour. It was just the early, heady days of the UK's love affair with cheap, risky debt and credit. The only reason Labour has got the blame exclusively is because the bubble burst on their watch. The 'Big Two' are as much to blame as each other.

[boltonlad55]

Nearly all of this video is stage managed. The people in the audience are Tory actors. The pretty woman in the blue dress who's just come from the hairdresses, the working class welsh guy who say 'absolutely' to Dave sounds like one of CJs plebs on Reggie Perrin! The public will not be conned by this poor acting. Dave if you are going to win you need better marketing people as this video is very poor.

[mab7689]

i was at the direct that its in the broadcast and all the people who speak are local

[freatork1]

caversmill said

"You really cannot just take a sound bite "the Conservatives only care about the rich" and take it as the truth."

caversmill ALSO said that, the reason why the Conservatives legislated to stop councils building new homes with the money raised from the sale of council houses was because "Local councils wasted money.. the houses they built only accomadated the w/class."

There's your evidence from the mouth of a true blue.

[caversmill]

I think a point needs to be made so that people really understand what's going on here.

The Labour Party do not want to destroy Britain

The Conservatives do not want to keep the rich rich and the poor poor.

These are all misconceptions that we all hear. But politicians do not get into politics to harm people. Most MP's quit higher paid jobs, not to hurt, but to help people.

On those facts, you then have to look at ideology, leadership and decide which party is for you.

[Morphlett]

Sorry but your comment about politicians not hurting people is faintly ridiculous.

By their incompetence, mismanagement, lies and what are quite frankly numerous hidden agendas, New Labour have hurt many in the UK.

Not to mention the expenses scandal, that proved just how dishonest and self serving some of these politicians are.

[caversmill]

No need to be sorry, you're wrong.

I said that no politician takes a lesser paid job to hurt anyone intentionally - that doesn't mean to say mistakes aren't made and terrible misjudgements.

I am a Conservative, I am disgusted with the Labour Party but the fact of the matter is Gordon Brown doesn't want to hurt anyone, nor does Cameron.

I just believe the Conservative Party have got it more right than the others.

[caversmill]

And with regard to expenses. MP's are the lowest paid in Europe. Any money handed to them is seen as as bribe if they do not publically aknowledge it and again many of them (whether you choose to accept this or not) COULD have higher paid jobs elsewhere.

The expenses issue therefore is not really an issue at all, they were the perks of an extremely underpaid job, considering it is arguably the most important job in the country. Those who broke the law with their claims are different however

[caversmill]

And they also make up a minority of those who were embroiled within the "scandal". Those should be prosecuted for fraud.

Anyone who believes MP's are simply naturally corrupt people, entering into the profession to feather their own nests and destroy lives are gullable, dare I say it stupid people, who believe everything the media throws at them.

[Rivingtone]

inspiring. They have my vote.

[ENGLISHKILT]

VOTE CONSERVATIVE

[caversmill]

Reallyyy ... for pitty sake! Do people really not remember Mr Brown taxing the poorest in society with the abolition of the lowest band of tax??

Do people not remember Thatchers right to buy schemes? Helping the poorest of society??

You really cannot just take a sound bite "the Conservatives only care about the rich" and take it as the truth.

[900angryangel]

Agreed. You can't just hold on to old ideas about parties, they are constantly evolving.

[freatork1]

"Do people not remember Thatchers right to buy schemes? Helping the poorest of society??"

They legislated to stop local councils using the money from the sale of council houses to build new houses to replace those that were sold off. How does THAT help the poorest of society????

[caversmill]

Those that bought their houses, bought it on a sliding scale, cheaper the longer they had rented - turning them into middle class - something never on offer from a Labour government.

Local councils wasted money on new building schemes instead of affording the task to private investors - and the houses they built only accomadated the w/class which meant new business would never come to the areas so those w/class would never have the money to buy the houses!

[windass50]

Tory tory tory!!!

[burgersoft777]

Well David C, is assured of my vote. Only one party is up to the task of putting the great back in Britian.....roll on the GE.

[WickersPoet]

FANTASTIC.

[adriancfrancis]

The last comment on the video we need a man and a team of minsters who can put the Great back into Great Britian.

You have my vote

[UKIPAY]

Peoplw will certainly have the chance that they didn't have on the Lisbon Treaty Mr Cameron, It really doesn't matter anymore if you vote for the LIB-LAB-CON because they are all thye same now! So don't waste your vote mark it in the box for a UKIP Candidate, the only party that promised you a referendum Mr Cameron, & of course UKIP's promise is CAST IRON not like the other three!

[FreedomForEngland]

Britain isn't great any more, I think these Unionist parties need to get than through their skulls - stop trying to cling on to a dead superpower and do whats best for the people, Britain needs to end.

[buddhist2007]

Go Tory ! Go David !

:)

[admiralencode]

As long as he leaves the old Tories behind.....

I don't want to live in a country that a privileged few get all the breaks.

Oh, and the Conservatives need to rethink their policies on privacy, drugs and alcohol.

[freatork1]

"As long as he leaves the old Tories behind....."

Is freezing pay for public sector workers while cutting inheritence tax for the wealthy good enough? They haven't changed. If they'd been in power when this global recession came along, unemployment and home repossessions would now be at the same levels they were in the two recessions they gave us when they were last in government.

[admiralencode]

Oh, Labour trolls.

[auron1990]

You're conveniantly forgetting that the last two labour administrations have left us with a crippling amount of debt and have nearly bankrupt the country.

You may not like how the Cons do things, but it's hard to argue that the recessions they give us are worse than this one... which btw is the most horrific we've seen in our lifetime and will likely see for many many years.

[freatork1]

auron1990

Would you rather trust a party which gave you TWO recessions the last time they were in government, or a party that happened to be in government when a GLOBAL recession came along? We're at the tail end of this recession now. Do you think unemployment is going to hit 3.4 million and stay over 3 million for about 5 years like it did during the Conservative Party recession?

[caversmill]

Completely irrelevent question. The REAL question should be, should you trust a new Tory government, with entirely different personnel that in any previous government, or a man who as chancellor decided to tax the POOREST people in society, and then as Prime Minister create the largest national debt since WWII?

[pushtheenvelope]

Erm, don't get me wrong, I'm a member of the Tory party and with David Cameron all the way...but how much did the guy at the end cost? I mean honestly...

[equirata]

This is an average video, howvere as the latest fracas has shown people do not want a candidate parchuted in from head office, they want a cndidate with strong LOCAL ties who will represent the constituency no matter what the party line..

Remeber Mr Cameron it is likely more than half the electorate will NOT have voted for YOU, they need to be represented and not You just following party DOGMA. This is where all governments go wrong a mandate is only more than 50% of the electorate.

[arsezania]

If you have any moral fiber in you david cameeron - Remove the statue honering nelson mandel terrorist in chief and leader of the afronazi anc. He is a terrorist and has no place in our country. Its got nothing to do with black or white its got to do with right or wrong.

If you dont do this someone else is going to do it for you!

[theredraven]

Well he wouldn't have done those things if not the South African's stupud idea of quashing the rights of the majority in their country.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

[tdp1909]

Although Cameron is a bit too slick, I severely hope he thrashes Brown at the next election - the UK needs some fresh thinking...

[arsezania]

Brown has more chance of turning into a Jamacian than winning the next election.

[tdp1909]

I dunno - watch the Eric Pickles' War Room video.

If Labour wins, I think the Tories can make a good case in going to the European court about Gerrymandering

For example, the Isle of Wight (Conservative) has 100,000 voters & yet is one seat, when each seat is supposed to only be 50,000.

That means that some Tory voters have effectively only half a vote!

[nahlin356]

You asked for our opinion on the broadcast. Very good as far as it went, because it is difficult to deal with isues in such a short time.

[HelgigApBwyd]

Blair 1997: "Things can only get better"

Cameron 2009: "Things can only get better"

.

Talked about 'the NHS and cutting spending'...Sorry David, but the NHS is DEVOLVED in Wales, so your comments relate to England ONLY...

[ShawYorks]

@HelgigApBwyd - and where does Wales get most of its funding from....Westminster. (Wales 2m/England 51m - who cares about Wales anyway?)

[HelgigApBwyd]

May I suggest that you read the following documents all released in the past two months.... The Holtham Report, The House of Lords Report on The Barnett Formula and The all-Wales Convention Report....then you may be a tad more informed to make educated comment afterwards.

@HelgigApBwyd And what proportion of total public expenditure in Wales is raised by the Welsh Assembly? 0% other than business rates. Westminster retains control over Welsh funding - the Barnett Formula is a matter of convention - not law. Welsh NHS funding is within the indirect control of Westminster. If the block grant is reduced, then the Assembly has less money to play with.

[theredraven]

That's not very nice. At least people in Wales aren't as pigheaded as the nationalist types in Scotland.

[theredraven]

I thought financial issues weren't devolved in Wales though?

[DumblyBrilliant]

The truth is I don't trust any of them. Blair was all shiney, well spoken and Messiah-like and he took us to war illegally and should be in jail. All of them have systematicaly lied to us about the EU for years. We don't want to be in it but none of our so-called "leaders" gives a damn about what we do not want. These are the points we need answers too and we have to stop letting them hide behind the NHS etc in order to avoid answering them.

We also want to see dishonest MPs in jail!

[TheSwji]

@shoestringonline - Afraid you're wrong. These are, as Cameron says, open to the General Public to ask the man who could be the next PM questions.

@boltonlad55 - Where have you got that from? The Conservatives have said that they will take away benefits from those FALSELY claiming incapacity benefit. If you are disabled and cannot work, then you will continue to get the benefits you are getting.

[MrLukehutchison]

david cameron's policies are too timid. He needs to cut on the NHS but only in certain places. Drivers for GP's cars, wages and other small useless things. We need to focus on cutting back on everything just about because we are spending double than what we are bringing in. That's a FACT.

[boltonlad55]

I like the idea of direct communication, however, as a disabled person I am very concerned that a tory government will rob the disabled, the chronically sick and the poor, to line the pockets of the rich.

[caversmill]

That is a common misconception, the Conservatives have never wanted to rob the poor and give to the rich, like an anti-Robin Hood.

It was Thatcher who gave the working class the "Right to Buy" Their council houses don't forget. She turned Britain into a home owning democracy and a much more moderate Tory Party would never do something as controversial as what you are concerned about.

People only get into politics today to do good, some do abuse the system - but their intentions are pure

[boltonlad55]

DAVID Cameron threatens the genuine poor, the disabled and chronically sick and tars them all with the same brush. What a nasty little policy statement to hit the weakest and poorest first by attacking all people who receive incapacity benefits no matter how ill or disabled they are and make everyone including genuine claimants feel like unwanted spongers and criminals.

[thegclique]

@boltonlad55 Well you are wrong. But whatever. No matter what you say, Mr Cameron will become PM in may

[boltonlad55]

He doesn't mention the reality, i.e. that anyone receiving incapacity benefits will have had to have paid full national insurance contributions for a minimum number of years and also to have completed at least one 20-page detailed questionnaire, have seen their GP on numerous occasions and sent the incapacity Jobcentre Plus several medical certificates, not to mention the full physical examination, by a government approved medical professional.

[boltonlad55]

Also the claimant would have given full access to their medical records. So it is no easy task to qualify for incapacity benefit.

I would like to ask Mr Cameron if this is the kind of callous Conservative party we can expect if he manages to win the next election?

Help the rich and attack the sick, disabled and the poor. He is starting to sound like a bully targeting the weakest British citizens first; kicking them while they are already down on the floor.

[ShawYorks]

@boltonlad55 Cameron is trying to tread the balance between ensuring that scroungers don't get taxpayers money for doing nothing long-term, and not penalising those who have hit hard times. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. Also, in terms of form filling and general bureaucracy, Labour seem to be in business to make most peoples' lives more difficult. - Whose side are they (you) on?

[caversmill]

Nope completely wrong.

Incapacity Benefit is easy to swing, it is disability living allowance that is claimed by those genuinely too ill to perform any job.

People with Incapacity Benefits sit around all day, on laptops playing computer games etc, now I know that isn't all of them, but believe me, coming from the area I do, it is a VAST majoirty.

If you can sit at a computer table, you can sit at any desk, you CAN do a job, earn your keep rather than lazily CLAIM it.

[shoestringonline]

He is talking directly to a chosen Tory audience. literally a blue audience.

[cliverhiggins]

Its certainly refreshing to have a politician telling the truth and treating me like an adult, thank you David you have my vote

[Yoshoku]

expense thing? he says it like it doesn't matter, he has to remember we are all still annoyed about it. don't sound to cocky mr cameron, i may be a tory supporter but I don't like cocky people.

[garychillingworth]

No matter who gets in in 2010, taxes will go up and it will be hard. But at least with Cameron, the money will go to getting us out of debt and setting us up for a better future.

[shoestringonline]

He is talking directly to a chosen Tory audience. literally a blue audience.

[Guildfordeyetv]

multicultural society?

[cjw500]

When Cameron Direct came to York, it was members only. No filming there. Coincidence?

[benadams182]

@cjw500. I'm afraid you are wrong. Cameron Direct in York  was not members only.

[cjw500]

Well if it wasn't members only, it was certainly a hand-picked audience. Us interested non-tories weren't able to go

[christleton]

Your are wrong there. I got a leflet in the letter box and I belong to no party and yes I am in the video but I was no "hand Picked Plant" I was just impressed. Before this I thought he was a smug git.

[ggg9900369]

What do you mean? They're NOT open to members - they specifically exclude them.
