JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: DAVID CAMERON'S ASININE DESCRIPTION OF A POSSIBLE LABOUR-SNP COALITION IN BRITAIN'S ELECTION AND HOW SUCH A COALITION MIGHT END CAMERON'S CRINGING OBSEQUIOUSNESS TO AMERICA


John Chuckman

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN


Is there a sillier leader on the planet than David Cameron?

“Calamitous”? What an utterly inappropriate and inflated word to describe his own fears of losing office.

I won't comment on Mr. Cameron's handling of Britain's domestic affairs, although my reading is that a great many people in the country are considerably less than charmed.

But Mr. Cameron's record in running Britain's foreign affairs is just a dreary and embarrassing series of daily salutes to Washington, each time asking, "Yes, Sir, what do you want me to say or do today?"

I didn't think it possible that Tony Blair could ever be outshone in pure obsequiousness, but Cameron seems to be making a great and mighty effort to do so.


God, what a relief if a Labour-SNP coalition could put an end to that.
