Rewarded for failure

David Cameron signs £800k deal for his memoirs | Daily Mail Online

A dreadful politician who completely misjudged the mood of the nation.

"Misjudged" how?

"Misjudged" how?

Credited the public with more intelligence than they turned out to have.

Some people say that he wanted Brexit as a way out of being PM, or as a way of getting a more right wing government than the public would vote for normally. So maybe he judged (and played) the public perfectly.

Though personally I find it easier to believe he was a numpty who listened too much to his political advisers.

So, badly advised (if you're a remoaner), otherwise, I don't see any problem with what he did. Which was giving the British people the right to decide who rules them. Fine by me.

There are some interesting facts in here but you would not put Thatcher into the same self serving bracket as blair

Jubilee Plus : BARONESS THATCHER'S GREAT MISCALCULATION

Well Blair is also a believer in philanthropy.

Don't see any difference between Thatcher and Blair. Both had charities both accused of being two faced and associated with dubious characters.

He won't, just another virtue signalling

I knew you were right-wing, but I didn't have you down as a Galtieri fan.

You guessed I was right-wing; I'm neither - I think the political spectrum is a thing of the past. There are many issues where I disagree with both parties and politicians themselves have done no favours to encourage people to be interested in politics.
