For the same reasons why Brown jets off to Africa to say how he wants to tackle global poverty while taking the loan repayments from Nigeria which is almost exactly twice as much as it gave in aid to the whole of Africa.

It's image, soundbites and publicity. They all do it.

At least Cameron has the potential to reduce the ever increasing burden of tax take and sheer hypocrisy spewing forth from this current administration.

What value can Mr Cameron add as he has no power to do anything anyway !!!

If he is going to form the next govt which is not unlikely then he needs to be familiar with what is going on around the world. I am sure you would be the first to criticise him in the event that he was to form a policy with regards to Afghanistan and then admit he had never been there.

Apart from anything else Afghanistan is hardly a "jolly" venue is it?

And for your information the world is getting smaller and countries influence each other more and more thanks to media and technology (created by people like you). So your cosy little world of "what's it got to do with me anyway" gets smaller by the day. And it is thanks to wonderful sites like this that the events of the world are brought to people like you and debated in an intelligent and mature manner by worldly souls

Meanwhile our Limited companies are being investigated by the IR to extract more money out of you, to pay for all this sh1te !

The "intelligent and mature" bit was particularly inspired, I thought...

As subsequent posts appear to have proved...

I liked the "wordly souls" bit myself. Did you notice, you can see his tongue firmly planted in his cheek even from here.

I am also glad to hear it wasnt dodgy who was struck by lightening in Italy yesterday, I was concerned for a while!

He's gone to tell the Afghani's about the merits of driving a hybrid car...

Isn't that Blairs job ! he likes to spread idealism and meddle in everyones lives !

And what makes you think that "He" will form the policy on something like Afghanistan? Is he a dictator? No.
So please DA go away and intelligently and maturely work out how our Political system works....Or haven't you covered that at school yet?

Can anyone explain why...
