Calm down dear

Lovely stuff

She deserved it the ugly bint!

A request for an apology? Get in touch with the real world...

I'm not Cameron's biggest fan, but calling that sexism is just ridiculous.

think its quite sad that a pithy little ad quote can be turned into a row. front benchers are suppoed to have thicker skin and PMQ is not to be taken so seriously.

Sexist? maybe

Patronising? definitely

Would be pretty annoyed if someone spoke to me like that in a meeting or public arena

 

[Bold Seagull]

I suggest anyone married commenting on here, or who works with a female colleague, next time you're in a heated discussion, turn to them with a smug silver spoon stuck up your arse public schoolboy toff kind of way and say "calm down dear"...

I'm ducking crockery fast if I said that to my missus!!

Calm down dear!

Quite a cheap shot though, seems to struggle a bit during PQT and gets rattled very easily.

I can see his advisers now, head in hands.

He is simply becoming more of a tit the more confident he gets. A bit of humility wouldn't go a miss, although not something readily taught at Eton...

deliberatly so, isnt that the point? par for the course in PMQs, if you heckle expect to be heckled back. now its going to fill the papers, and the actual issue he was stuck on will be overlooked. love how Labour can shift focus away from policy failings onto personality attacks, most people dont actually care about all that (nor of his background, not disimilar to Miliband and many other labour cabinet members).

How can you heckle back ?

It's a lot of fuss about nothing. And Cameron pisses all over that labour bloke at PMQs everytime.

This (and it's NOT Mod's sticking together!!)

I genuinely forgot the labour leaders name for a moment he is so anonymous. I hear he is having an operation on his voice though so he can talk properly?

Yes but in today's presentation is everything world, his advisers will be pulling their hair out. They have been trying desperately hard to move his image away from being privileged public school boy. Fretting over what he is going to wear to the wedding etc...

Prior to the election, his image was apparently a bit of a negative with the electorate.

Expect some female friendly PR opportunity in the next few weeks.

I doubt it will make any difference. It's all about the economy stupid. And they're making a better job of it than labour did.

Difference to what ?

I was simply suggesting that his advisers won't be happy. Already deflected from news about the growth in the economy, which unfortunately is the way of the world. 0.5% doesn't make a good headline, but doing a Michael Winner impression does.

It was a bit odd, I'd imagine he doesn't even know who Michael Winner is and I doubt he's even seen the advert... and that's kind of the point.

It's one of those lines given to a politician by a script writer, part of his kit bag if you like. Thatcher was terrible at delivering them (remember), especially when they referred to popular culture.

So his advisers will be pissed off, they've given him a bullet and he has fired it at the wrong moment.
