A pretty accurate summary of Cameron's time as PM

[bobjimwilly]

David Cameron’s premiership is a tragedy for which we will all pay

[idler]

I'd say very accurate.
What a shambles, and he will carry on earning a good wage whatever he does and where ever he goes.

[MachoMadness]

The PM who disunited the Kingdom. What a legacy.

[podrover73]

From a journalist who is further out on the left wing than Corbyn

[drfchound]

You have got to laugh.
Talk about never believe what you read in the paper.

[Sammy Chung was King]

This is what you get, from a shallow man, who was constantly thinking, 'What will sound good to give the public'?, rather than really leading a country, having values, having a strong way of sorting out inequalities in our society.
Parties really are coming to the end, i feel it is very close to the time when things must change for the better.

[BobG]

Surely we should all be celebrating? David Cameron has secured his place in history. It's there for all time: the worst Prime Minister since Lord North. He was the last PM who lost a big chunk of the body politic....

Cheers

Boris Johnson the new Foreign Secretary.

This f**king buffoon travelling the world as my representative. Words fail me.

[Lipsy]

Political satire is dead. Partially because it is no longer required, but also because there's no way anyone could make anything up that is better/worse than is happening right now.

Jebus wept. I give in/up.

[idler]

The lunatics have taken over the asylum. 🙄

[Sammy Chung was King]

Boris Johnson the new Foreign Secretary.

This f**king buffoon travelling the world as my representative. Words fail me.

Like him or not, he is popular both here and in other countries, he will bring in investment. If he hadn't been shafted he would be prime minister by now, so be glad of small mercies.

[RedJ]

Is he popular in other countries though?

I voted leave despite Boris not because of him Sammy.
If he is the best that we can manage we are in deep trouble.

[Pancho Regan]

Boris Johnson is to International Diplomacy what Alan Little was to flower arranging.

But maybe it's a cunning plot by Theresa May, along the lines of "Right Boris, you made your bed......now go and lie in it".

[MachoMadness]

He recently - as in a couple of months ago - wrote a poem about the Turkish president shagging a goat. He ain't that popular. Look at the US spokesman trying desperately not to piss himself laughing as he speaks about it.

He is a joke, but underneath all the bluster is a genuinely nasty politician. Bizarre appointment even if the new Brexit positions have taken some of the claws out of the foreign sec position.

[Boomstick]

Some lefty tosser writes something in a lefty rag. To be taken with a pinch of salt.
In my opinion, he's been the best PM in my living memory.
The PM who sorted the economy.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Yeah. He certainly showed us how to fix an economy.

[BillyStubbsTears]

He fixed our productivity too.

He's left us in a really healthy place. We should be eternally grateful.

[Boomstick]

Oh come off it. Thats the 2008 stock market crash. That happened on Browns watch.
The economy has recovered leaps and bounds since labours decimation of the economy thanks to Cameron and Osbourne.

[MachoMadness]

By no metric is that the case. Unless you think our engineers and scientist graduates working on a zero-hours contract at Greggs just so Cameron could spout off about falling unemployment is a success story.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Yep. You can see that leaps and bounds recovery right there in those graphs. Unmistakable.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Still, if there's one ray of sunshine emerging from the current clusterf**k, it looks like the new Govt is shelving Osborne Austerity. We might get a bit closer to a sane economic policy.

[RedJ]

Oh come off it. Thats the 2008 stock market crash. That happened on Browns watch.

Yeah, that thing that happened globally. Brown's fault, though.

[Boomstick]

Better 1 zero hour contract, than no job at all? If a company is forced to offer full time positions to all zero hour workers, then it could very well cripple the company. Then it could be no jobs for anyone

[Boomstick]

Yep. You can see that leaps and bounds recovery right there in those graphs. Unmistakable.

They are on a steady rise, with safe stability in the markets (brexit aside, only short term anyway). Also with the confidence of no more boom and bust, like what happened under Brown. (despite his previous statements to the contrary).
labour have destroyed themselves.

[Boomstick]

Oh come off it. Thats the 2008 stock market crash. That happened on Browns watch.

Yeah, that thing that happened globally. Brown's fault, though.

Still happened on his watch though, despite his assurances of an end to boom and bust. (he was quick to reap the praise in those unsustainable boom years too)
Its easy to use 2008 to help your own argument. Like BST has done with his little graphs.
But the facts are, 2008 happened on browns watch, and the economy is improving steadily and sustainably year on year.

But it happened globally, ergo, it can't have been Brown that was solely to blame.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Help me out here Boom, cos I'm really struggling to see that pre-2008 boom on those graphs. Must be there somewhere cos folk keep banging on about it.

Do you have access to different graphs other than the ones Billy posted? Can you post them for us all to see - or we shall just assume you are making things up again?

[Boomstick]

I didn't say there was a boom, but there was certainly a bust.
