Tributes to David Cameron

[Doc Lynam]

As an emotional nation pays tribute to David Cameron, please leave your messages of love for the man described by Boris Johnson as “ the most extraordinary politicians of our age, a brave and principled man.”

Thought comedy threads were traditionally kept for Fridays but not a bad effort

Not somebody I would particularly like to meet, certainly wouldn't fancy a pint in the pub with him, but he did ok. Remember, the 2010 election was the one they said that "nobody wanted to win", we were in such sh*te, so maybe 6/10 from me.

No doubt the usual suspects on here will pour out their bile.

I think History will judge him quite well given the shit hand he was dealt post 2008.

He certainly conducted himself as a Prime Minister, as opposed to the Neasden Polytechnic Sociology Lecturer currently ruining, sorry running, Labour...

Shouldn't have run away after the referendum.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Shouldn't have run away after the referendum.

Shouldn't have called the referendum.

History will judge him as the fool who gambled on the Brexit referendum and lost. There is little else that he will be remembered for.

It is a shame as he is far from the worst Tory I can think of.

Pringles - check, armchair - check, bottle of vino (or two) - check, now just awaiting the arrival of Ernest

I will be eternally grateful for two of my favourite election night moments... the exit poll and the Ed Bollx result #wereyouupforballs

And I think the way he handled the hung parliament situation, coalition negotiations, and then the subsequent coalition government, leading the country through dealing with unprecedented economic meltdown was a pretty extraordinary political achievement.

I won't be sorry to see the back of the Bullingdon Club at the top table (for the time-being at least!)

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Overall he did a reasonable job under difficult circumstances but he will go down in history as the man that unwittingly facilitated our exit from the EU with all the repercussions that flow from that (good or bad) being his true legacy.

Still at least this thread is one last chance to get the piggy related puns in ....

 

[Notters]

Thank you Dave for destroying both Europe and the United Kingdom. Good job.

 

[Blue3]

David Cameron is a gambler as he did with proportional representation, Scottish independence and the EU referendum he got the result he wanted with the first two as Meatloaf might say two out of three ant bad.

I do not think he is a bad person but he gambled very big and it went wrong so sadly Brexit will be his legacy

 

[Albumen]

Thanks for allowing the village idiots to ru(i)n the country, don't hit your pear-shaped head on the way out.

 

[spence]

Thanks David for the referendum. You gave the majority Brits what they wanted and who were fed up with being part of the EU cartel . Hopefully you will be remembered for the crumble of the European union .

 

[Normal Rob]

Shouldn't have called the referendum.

Should not have capitulated to the right by calling the referendum in a desperate attempt to stay in power/gain overall power by trying to stop his party faithful leaching away to UKIP.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Highlight of my summer has been to see the downfall of this pitiful piece of filth.

 

[GT49er]

Shouldn't have called the referendum.

Shouldn't have needed one - there should have been referendums on the Maastricht Treaty, the Single European Act, the Lisbon Treaty, etc. Then we'd have been out and settled long ago.

 

[lawros left foot]

The Bedroom tax
The pasty tax
The caravan tax
Bombing Syria
Bombing Libya
The EU referendum
Forcing Academy status on schools
Cuts to PIPS
Cuts to Family tax credits
The remain campaign

Just a few of the things he got wrong or had to backtrack on

 

[Mellotron]

Another modern politician who would follow the popular sentiment of the press, rather than stick to his principles. Won't be missed.
