In Syria we started off on one said and ended up on the other. <br /><br />He promised Scotland the Earth and gave it a small piece of the Gobi Desert.<br /><br />He played politics with the future of the country with Brexit, and then left others to sort his mess.<br /><br />To say he is a failure is bumming him up.<br /><br />Still he does wear smart suits, his ties are impeccable and he can stand up straight and sing GSTQ.<br /><br />That's about that. Bloody bravo. Worth the money his parents paid for him to get qualifications.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-51628331541595559832016-09-13T17:59:29.387+01:002016-09-13T17:59:29.387+01:00Tris

Cameron had his war, or at least his getting to bomb defenseless people and children in Syria and he has left the country in more debt and in a worse state than even Brownstuff.<br /><br />We are plagued by poor PM's in this country and now have a poor mans Thatcher but probably as sneaky and as full of loathing for the poor. Cameron, like Blair, should take his money and bolt. He will be remembered for failure and for making the UK an even worse place than it was, his legacy of shame will be more austerity, more cuts and more misery. I don't wish misery on the man or his family but I don't wish him any success and hope that he stays well away.<br /><br />BruceGrumpy Scottish Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804827054434626550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-20278691480797207442016-09-13T13:53:35.404+01:002016-09-13T13:53:35.404+01:00That's a very funny cartoon.

I imagine they will be split along the lines of pre/anti Europe.<br /><br />I'm struggling to think of achievements of Cameron, and the only one I can think of is the one that the NYT mentioned: Equality of Marriage Rights in England. And that was done with the help of the Liberal Democrats.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-12118649985179735972016-09-13T04:05:49.284+01:002016-09-13T04:05:49.284+01:00And one from yesterday.
