  1. I don't know, Cuban. I think you're giving Cameron way too much credit. Just because he's a toff doesn't mean he actually knows the answer to those questions, let alone is clever enough to pretend like he doesn't know them. George W. Bush went to the best schools in the America and look at what an imbecile he was.

    I hope to God the Tories lose the next election. We've got to get rid of those awful reforms they made to the NHS. And the rest of the country is in a total mess which isn't surprising considering their policies. I haven't seen the UK looking so bad since the 80s. All in all, there's no way I'd ever look for a way out from the Tories. All they care about is themselves.


  2. I think it kind of bad your PM did not know basic history that candidates for citizenship should know. That is bad indeed. As for our election, it sure is a funny thing. Interesting to hear your take. Powerful video too.

  3. oh my...but honestly...if you'd ask me some basic things about german history, i might not know them as well...but then...i'm not the prime minister..

  4. Excellent! If it helps, I wouldn't mind where you deported him. Seriously, though, not knowing the essentials about Magna Carta is, I think, unforgivable for someone in hi s situation, but equally, some of the questions in the so-called test for citizenship are quite irrelevant and would not be known by many. I think the incident shows up both P.M. and test in equal measure.

  5. Yanks adore the queen. I don't but do admire her persistence--and her hats!

    Best regards from Boston

  6. Yes I'd heard about the Magna Carta slip and was surprised, given his education, but I doubt that would make him more likable. A sense of humor is good but ignorance is not something anyone should value in a leader. Then again, since hitting 40, I've been known to forget the names of people I've known for years.

  7. Many thanks for your comments.

    Jai, I know where you're coming from but let's remember that Dubya won two elections. That was partly because people on the left got him wrong completely. They mocked him, when they should have been wary of his companions. Same with Cameron. It's not so much about him and his stupidity but the establishment he represents. They've got a foot in the door. Let's cut it off and banish them to obscurity.

    Greetings from London.
