Time to write a new one.
Cameron despises people who don't come from his privileged background.
Yet he also has a deep insecurity towards and longing to be a member of the metropolitan leftists.
Cameron is a man who feels ashamed to be a Tory and hates people (of a lower socioeconomic background) who are Conservatives by choice.
PalpatineOsborne is evil!Out of curiosity, how many times have you been in his company?
IDS's resignation is certainly stirring up the rhetoric on PB too

That Osborne supports staying in the EU (most likely because he likes going to international summits and feeling important rather than any deep ideological love), and has a couple of other metro-fashionable viewpoints, does not change that on the economy and welfare he is as right-wing as any mainstream Tory since the war.
he'll go down well with the electorate.
Members of the Conservative party have met Conservative leader and think he's wonderful.
Please don't regress into Richard Nabavi territory - you're better than that.
Do you really think ordinary voters care ???
What people like is having their prejudices confirmed.
And the 'wicked Tories taking money from the disabled to give to their rich friends' is a very widespread prejudice.
IDS has confirmed that.
And its going to take years for it to be forgotten.
Please, give
In an exclusive interview with The Independent on Sunday, Mr Cameron conceded that the result of the 23 June referendum was now on a knife edge and revealed his biggest concern was in persuading enough people to turn out to deny victory to the Brexit campaign."

Is there no end to Osborne's talents? He can work out pension policy and education policy (got to be savings there, we can surely dump two SoSs at least) and his has his sticky mitts well into industrial and transport policy too. Of course, it could be argued that if he just concentrated on his actual job then maybe he wouldn't have missed every target he has set himself and the nation's finances might look a lot better.
It doesn't matter whether what SeanT was saying is right or wrong.
It doesn't matter what you and JohnO * think from meeting Cameron is right or wrong.
It doesn't matter even matter what I think, in cervesia veritas **, is right or wrong.
What matters is that it confirms people's prejudices that the Conservatives are heartless c*nts who will take from the disadvantaged and give it to themselves and their mates.
* Just because you and JohnO have met Cameron doesn't necessarily mean your views of him are correct.
** I've consumed an excessive amount of alcohol today and am deeply exercised by wondering how much that useless twat Stuart Lancaster was paid for being crap.
“It is worth standing back and thinking here we are, the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War … This continent which was in conflict for so much of the 20th century has found a way of peaceful coexistence, and that is something we should want to be part of and want to share in.”
I'm sure I'm not the only person who while reading Osborne's meddling mania thought "Why don't you f*cking shut up, mind your own business and try to do your own job properly".
Instead we had Osborne making announcements which were the responsibility of half a dozen different departments.
Perhaps older PBers could enlighten me but I don't think that was the way Lawson, Howe, Healey, Jenkins and the other Chancellors of yesteryear operated.
As for the Welsh promotions caused by Stephen Crabb's promotion, it just so happens the Welsh MPs are generally Remainers.
They cant risk appointing English VIceroys to the Welsh office.
For a Chancellor desperate to eliminate the deficit, it seems like a good measure to continue
Conservative = heartless but competent
Labour = well meaning but incompetent
The whole point of the 'Cameron Project' was to 'detoxify' the heartless bit.
Without that what do the Cameroons have ?
Is there anyone here who would place George Osborne in charge of their own personal finances ?

Even last year, during the Labour leadership contest, there was a poll asking people to choose between Burnham and Osborne as best PM, and Burnham was slightly ahead in that - and that was while Osborne was still in the post-election honeymoon and before he tried his reverse Robin Hood act twice within a few months.
It feels strange that Labour is the most united party this month, courtesy of Cam and Ozzy for giving issues salience that they like to fight thier party over (Europe, disability) and we're broadly agreed about. Much obliged, squires.

But even thinking back to 2005 when Cameron first became prominent all the articles were how he was a 'new ' type of Tory in touch with metropolitan progressiveness.
Sunil: You have allowed this Europhile Chancellor to twist your mind, until now, until now you've become the very thing you swore to destroy.
TSE: Don't lecture me, Sunil! I see through the lies of the LEAVE campaign. I do not fear the EUropean Union as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!
Sunil: Your new Empire?
TSE: Don't make me MODERATE you.
Sunil: TSE, my allegiance is to the
RepublicMonarchy, to democracy!TSE: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.
Sunil: [realizing that TSE is consumed by evil and there's no reasoning with him anymore] Only a Europhile deals in absolutes.
[draws his lightsaber] I will do what I must!
TSE: You will try!
[draws his own lightsaber and confronts Sunil!]
[later during a pause in the battle]
Sunil: I have failed you, TSE. I have failed you.
TSE: I should have known the LEAVERS were plotting to take over. Chancellor Osborne has showed me the true ways of the Force.
Sunil: TSE, Chancellor Osborne is evil! The EU are evil. The Daft Side of the Force is an evil presence.
TSE: From my point of view, it is the LEAVERS who are evil.
Sunil: Well, then you really are lost!
TSE: [raises his lightsaber] This is the end for you... my former master.
[the battle resumes, but even later on, Sunil manages to reach a vantage point overlooking TSE]
Sunil: It's over TSE, I have the high ground!
TSE: You MISUNDERESTIMATE my power!
Sunil: Don't try it!
[TSE leaps at Sunil, but the latter anticipates his move and promptly lightsabers TSE's limbs off, leaving him writhing in pain on the ground!]
Sunil: You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Europhiles, not join them! You were to bring balance to PoliticalBetting.com, not leave it in Daftness!
TSE: [shouts] I HATE you!
Sunil: You were my brother, TSE. I loved you.
[Sunil, unable to bring himself to finish off poor TSE, walks away from the scene, disconsolate...
To Be Continued....]
