    I think if they found Maddie Macann at 10 Downing Street this git would come out of it smelling of roses. The Tories still have not learnt to get the press onside.

    Smiling sweetly at Murdoch...

    I have to admit, the press and media are simply crushing Cameron today as gordo gets the "brownie" points. Quick poll from Monday, tweak a few pointers and it's all good news for gordo...

    You mean from 1997 when he had the purse strings:

    Removing dividend tax relief on pensions reducing the UKs pension scheme to one of the worst performing in the EU

    Removing £40b public spending (PFI) off the UK plc balance sheet to give the impression that UK plc is doing great

    Won't build more prisons because he can't put it on PFI

    The highest taxation burden in history through misdirection using over 66 new stealth taxes

    Declared a Tory idea of independence of the BoE as his own, but filled the committee with his cronies (watch "Merv the Swerve" get the scapegoat of the year prize)

    Manipulated the official inflation rate by altering the basket and influencing the "independent" ONS

    Increased public sector jobs and inflation to unprecedented levels

    The creation of more quangos than people on IB

    Created an illusion of reduced unemployment while furthering the previous government's trend of fiddling the stats by moving people off unemployment onto what is referred to as Incapacity Benefits

    Disregarded advice from the Bank of England before he sold off more than half the country’s gold reserves at the bottom of the market.

    Encouraging easy credit to give the impression of a great economy which is fueled on record debt levels (£1.3 trillion)

    And most recently, sent a message out to all financial institutes that it's OK to go to Vegas, put all your client's money on red and lose, because there are plenty of taxpayers out there who will bail you out (can you imagine the Tories doing that for the BCCI?)

    Yeah, he's an unlucky *****...
