Probably the cleverest man in the cabinet, but unfortunately not very 'telegenic' - if he ever became a contender his slightly odd looks and his excellent diction would count against him.

Hope I'm wrong.

H: "I'm completely against political point scoring... it's because of the EMA/ job centre closures etc"

G: "You're a moron, being a hypocrite and actually it's the Labour party that have brought them up this way."

Nice, biggrin

I agree. Sad that people will ignore the fact the dude has a brain in his head and focus on a whole heap of foolishness.

Phew - glad I'm not the only one. It's funny that the electorate want brains running the country but buy spin.

I'd vote for Gove.

Harman truly is a waste of space and an oxygen thief. And amazingly she is so out of touch with reality that its shocking!

EMA grants is why career criminals took to the street to steal plasma TV's from Currys. Oh come on you moron. Though the longer she remains deputy leader of the Labour party, the less chance they have of ever getting back any form of power or influence.

I agree with you on him being clever. Every time I see this guy speak, I agree with him. I think he is a thoroughly intelligent and diverse chap, and to see him just stting all over Harman and her utter hypocracy is brilliant.

That clip has cheered me no end. Fantastic - it's about time the Tories called time on Labour bullst, especially when it's Labour that made the st in the first place.

I'd vote for him.

I like people who say what they think, even if I don't agree with it. An admirable quality in today's politics.

I like the way she said she wasn't trying to make political capital out of the riots and then proceeded to try and make political capital out of the riots.

Does it matter? none of em are interested in doing anything other than make capital out of it. All this is doing is stalling for time, going round and round interviewing idiots with nothing but words is avoiding the issue. Cameron alluded to it when he said 'Society is sick' yes chum, it is, and it's your multicultural socially engineered dream that's sick. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

2 COBRA meetings down and what has been achieved? vigilante gangs, ethnically divided roaming our streets, a Giro cheque fulled bomb about to re erupt god knows where and no plans for a fix, an exhausted, overstretched police force on constant alert but no new legislation.

We need another Churchill or (god forgive me) Thatcher, someone with character and balls (NOT the Ed variety!)

and what exactly do you think Mrs Thatcher would do in this situation that would make any difference?

He didn't make that - Labour did. Bloke hasn't even been in power for 2 years and he's had to do what he's done with his hands tied to the LibDems thanks to a load of people who should know better voting UKIP. Cameron's got balls. Perhaps they might not be as big as Maggie's but he's got 'em. He's been well on top of things since he got back and there's a real change in his tone and determination.

She would have reacted much faster for starters. And I wouldnt have been surprised if the Army had been called in
when it became obvious that the Met were just not coping (Sunday night approx) if Thatcher had been in charge. At least the Thatcher post the Falklands anyway.

Regardless of the riots and the lib dems Cameron was bent on bankrupting this country completely anyway. More power to the UKIP, the only alternative to lefty liberalism which we have now in abundance thanks to Comrade Cameron.
