Eton Rifled!

Its been revealed that David Cameron, leader of the opposition and strong favorite to be the next Tory Prime Minister, smoked the old "whacky baccy" while at Eton and Oxford. Does anyone think it will make any difference in the next General election?.. will it affect your vote?

I did hear his nickname at Oxford was "crack pipe Cameron" :)
 
I always thought there was something strange about his looks....if you put them thin glasses round his face he could be a dead ringer for Data in space 1999....:)
 
i dont like the look of cameron he looks shifty , infact i would go as far to say he looks like a seedy little grubby pervert , sory but they guy creeps me out , anyone that can smile and look so shifty at the same time just creeps me out

cant quite put my finger on it but somthings not right about him , besides been a tory that is :rolleyes:

No that wouldn't stop me voting for him either...........but lots of other things would.

Thing that annoys me is that they've brought this up again (I'm sure we knew this ages ago as well) to wear almost as a badge of honour. Yes, I'm hip and trendy and understand where you kids are coming from. We can't get all the disolussioned adults to vote any more so let's see if any of the newbies will. Let's vote against the establishment sort of thing.

Very tacky tactics if you ask me.
 
well i wouldnt vote for him any way
but it shouldnt make any difference the fact he,s had a bit of the whacky baccy....so have many others in the public eye including royals but it dont make me like / dislike them any less...

That's an interesting theory, Gayle. As far as I'm aware, this story has come up again because it's included in a new book called "Cameron The Rise of The New Conservative" by James Hanning and Francis Elliott. However, by saying "they've brought this up again" you're implying that the Tories have revived the story. Are you, therefore, saying that Tory spin doctors have colluded with the authors and/or publishers of this book in an attempt to give "Dave" some street cred? And if you are, what's your evidence for this?

Obviously, anything's possible in the murky world of politics and, if true, it would indeed be tacky tactics. However, for a supporter of this present government which has made tacky tactics a fine art form (the sexing up of the WMD report in order to justify our entry into a totally pointless war is perhaps the most shameful example), to accuse another party of indulging in tacky tactics is almost breathtaking in its sheer cheek.
 
I am sure that we have all done things in our dim and distant past that we would not do with the benefit of hindsight......is it not part of the learning process?....and growing up.
The only thing that should influence the people who vote for him is.......will his party put into practice policies that will make life better for families and the general population?

Once again I will draw your attention to the fact that I have never publicly stated any widespread support for the government - I have praised and disagreed with their policies in equal measure. What I have done and will continue to do so is support the Labour party in Hyndburn because I believe they stand the best chance of making Hyndburn a better place to live. I will continue to stress the two things are very different and the support of one does not mean a wholesale support of the other.

Also, why does my support or otherwise of one party mean that I can not make comments about another?

If he is trying to emulate Blair. If he is then he is on a hiding to nothing as Blair is starting to look shiftier than Fagan.

Right, so you support the Labour party within the precincts of the Hyndburn borough boundary, but outside of that, you don't actually support them. What a curious point of view!

Secondly, you've got every right to make comments about any party you wish. I'm simply pointing out that by accusing the Tories of tacky tactics, you are being somewhat hypocritical, as your own party has indulged in tacky tactics many, many times. But, then again, you don't support the Labour party at national level, do you?...strange...very strange!
 
I'm sorry but I don't find it strange at all. In fact, I think it shows a better awareness of my views on things than most people have and a better understanding of politics.

First of all I'm not saying that I disagree with everything the Labour party at national level is about but neither am I saying that I would blindly follow them. I always believe in the best person for the job. People who always vote one way because that's what they've always done are not necessarily weighing up the pros and cons of their decisions.

I support the local Labour party because I honestly believe that the local area would be better in their hands and I also support our local MP, Greg Pope because I know him to be a sincere politician (honestly) - I trust him to make decisions on my behalf that doesn't necessarily mean that I have to agree with every single one of them. I always vote for the person who I want to represent me, even in general elections, and not for the party or the party leader. So, if you want me to say this just for the record, then no I would not vote for Tony Blair if he were my MP.

Finally, I do not think I'm being hypocritical as I would be quite prepared to accuse the Labour party of tacky tactics if I saw them.
