This Chap With The Disabled Son Who Argued With CMD Earlier.
Discussion
He sat there and argued the toss with CMD in front of the press, CMD spelt it out clearly and adam boulton from sky news explained it, yet he still argues the toss.
He is being interviewed again as we speak by Kay Burley, and she again points out the point that his son would not be disadvantaged, and he disagrees and has to point out he isnt politically motivated.
Question is, was he?

As much as I hate the whole PC b
ks that goes on, I did feel really sorry for the poor kid who was probably stood there thinking "FFS dad, STFU and get me an ice cream instead"
Quite why the Dad has to be so forthright about it I don't know, it's not sending the best message across in my eyes. Additionally, he very much reminded me of one those posters we get from time to time who never ever listen to reason, and keep on so much that eventually people stop listening and ignore them instead.
Pretty much like CMD did, which I though was fair enough.

He's angry and frustrated with his son, probably doesn't love him but is in denial.Pretty much like CMD did, which I though was fair enough.
Sad. Want's someone to blame.

I don't disagree, but I think no matter how much fustration he had, I'm sure he could have done it with a better degree of humility for his son.

So there you are, a Tory party flunkey sent out to rustle up some interesting looking people for Dave to meet in Kennington, and you happen upon the perfect-looking combination, a young father and his severely disabled son, on their way to an appointment at the Evelina Children’s Hospital.
Come this way, Mr Cameron would love to meet you! Dad then proceeds to harangue Cameron, fluently and for a good three minutes live on Sky, about what he sees as the Tories’ desire to exclude children like his son from mainstream schools.
Cameron, to his credit, is engaged, patient and repeatedly defends the manifesto: ‘I wrote it, sir’. But he’s going to be mighty hacked off when he discovers that the stooge supplied for pavement banter was Jonathan Bartley, founder and co-director of the Christian think tank Ekklesia.
Kay Burley has just interviewed him on Sky News and concluded: ‘I can tell you’re a reluctant celebrity today’. Well, not exactly. Mr Bartley has been a parliamentary researcher, was a member of John Major’s campaign team against John Redwood, blogs for the Guardian, writes for the Church Times and has appeared on the Moral Maze. No wonder he was practically biting Cameron’s leg as the Tory leader fled.

In best Snagglepuss voice:- "Exit...Stage Left"
I just watched it on the Sky web site, and I can't believe how little some people listen. He hardly lets Cameron finish a sentence, and then tries tells him what's in the Tory manifesto!
There was another one yesterday where a student asked about university fees. Cameron spent a couple of minutes explaining exactly what their policy was, and at the end she said "I don't believe you." If you don't believe him, what's the point in asking about his policy? It's a pretty stupid attitude.

I saw that. Thought it was pretty rude of her actually, especially as he'd taken some time to address her points, and she simply said "I don't believe you". Oh well poppet, back to your lectures and subsidised beer.There was another one yesterday where a student asked about university fees.

Whilst it doesn't invalidate his point, or what he wanted to say, a stooge is still a stooge. I think when the media realise who he is, they will feel pretty stupid, especially those that have jumped in with interviewing him immediately, and they clearly still don't know who he is.Richard Preston in the DT said:
