    Although I do understand why people want to hit him on the few occasions I've met him, (he was not my MP but the next one heading north) he seemed nice and decent. His wife however......
    I'm pretty sure his PR firm will tell the media exactly what questions they can ask him. Ask anything else and they'll never have him again.

    Now come on, he single-handedly overthrew the tyranical regimes in Egypt, Syria and Libya!

    Or at least that's what it's going to say in his next book.

    whs. I think it's valid to compare Cameron to Blair, but not Blair to Thatcher.

    Wrong, the Conservative Party of the time made Labour electable.

    When it first came out there was a campaign to get people to move copies to the Crime section.

    Yes, but Blair was Mrs. Thatcher in trousers. According to Andrew Marr.

    I just heard him say something like 'the west needs a better plan for the arab world'.

    Kind of like a junkie giving out lifestyle advice.
