Cant believe Cameron said this is one of his favourite songs, he is such a prick.

[warriorprince101010]

"what a catalyst you turned out to be loading guns then running home"..."down the house of commons in your brand new shoes"...these are references to the left wing hypocrisy. How they pretend to care for the poor to line their own pockets. Eton rifles is the class system that the poor cannot win against. It is a rant about how the left and right wing do not care for the poor anymore thane ach other.

[warriorprince101010]

Try not to reply next time. Yes the song is the song of an independent let down by the left wing and right wing. Clearly you are in the bag for one of them.

[George Mortimer]

Fuck I can't be arsed to reply to this calumny myself, like Call me Dave just go check out the wikipedia article about this song. It has fuck all to do with what you think it does. But then again it is just an old song.

Yes, if Cameron truly likes this I'd be more amazed than anything I could ever imagine. I "suspect " his comment is a lie. He is a shallow fake, everything I despise about modern politicians. Who the fcuk do I vote for in the UK?

[Bro Ski]

He was voted in as labor destroyed their reputation and people were sick of it and now the same thing has happened with Cameron and the tories. People now realise Cameron is an even worse leader than Gordan Brown. Look what happened in the local elections. UKIP did well because we are sick of everyone else. And like i said before, politics represents people and reverting back to the original comment about the song,its like a Man utd fan saying he loves Man city,only a prick would do it.

I agree with the first part. But if that`s the case, why did you bring his private life up? You wrote in a previous comment: "The man left his kid in a pub for god sake."

I don`t like his political decisions either. But does this make him a prick? No. He`s doing his role in our political system. He was elected, so obviously the majority likes what he stands for. Which gives him the right (it actually even forces him) to make his political decisions.

[Bro Ski]

I don't care about what he is like at home or if he is a good dad, I see him as a politician. That's it and I think his political views are shocking. He may be a super dad,he probably is but that doesn't affect me, his political decisions do and the majority are terrible. That's why I think he is a prick and why many others in the UK do as well.

Part 2: I don`t care about what he does in private (As long as the voters don`t know it doesn`t matter anyway). If he happens to forget his child though it is sad), I don`t really care. The child is safe and well, right?

My father once forgot my birthday. But he still is an awesome lawyer. This doesn`t influence his ability to do his job at all. Maybe the fact that he did forget my birthday is just part of what makes him a good lawyer.

The same may go for Cameron.

I think politics (right and left wing) is about money.

There are various political beliefs and they all have their value (as long as they don`t go against basic human rights). This ensures steady politics and gives the voters the opportunity to vote for what they believe in. Denying the value of an existing political party would be like denying democracy.

And I really like democracy. I would hate to live in a country with only left or only rigjht wing politicians.

[Bro Ski]

Politics represents people. Examples include Nick Griffin who is racist, represents BNP who are racist. Cameron represents right wing, rich get richer while trying to look honest and left wing. The man left his kid in a pub for god sake. He has passed all he decisions for cuts to public spending...less police, less nurses, less soldiers, less everything. And for what-a double dip recession. He passed these which pretty much represents him as a person don't you think ???

[tineeeable]

But we did vote for the politicians, right?

So, isn`t it our fault if we vote for millionaires?

I think he`s just doing his job. Even though I`m not a fan of his politics he might be a really great man. I mean, why are you constatnly insulting him (calling him a prick) ?

I mean, just because a lawyer defends a rapist he isn`t one himself, right?

Don`t you think we should just all do our jobs?
