Don't tell me what to think, Mr Cameron

The BBC reports:
UK Prime Minister David Cameron says the Japanese earthquake is a "terrible reminder of the destructive power of nature. Everyone should be thinking of the country and its people, and I have asked immediately that our government look at what we can do to help."
He just has a way with words.

A terrible reminder of the destructive power of nature? Who'd have thought it?

As for "everyone should be thinking of the country and its people", do not tell us what we should be thinking.

In any case my brain is busy memorising the names of all those killed servicemen, who you tell us will never be forgotten.

Take your trite sanctimoniousness elsewhere.

And rather than "looking at what we can do to help", why not find someone who remembers that earthquake in New Zealand? Even this government should have some clues what we can and cannot offer.

Meanwhile, my thoughts are with Mr Cameron as he thinks of New Zealand Libya Japan and its people ... but this blog should be fit for family viewing.

Blair invented sound bite politics and Cameroid has perfected the art. Bastards.

On the contrary, he tries but he doesn't have a great ear for them.

But John, Cameron (and those of our political elite) telling us what to think, do and act is, in their eyes, their whole 'raison d'etre' as they consider we are unable to do that for ourselves.

Libya, New Zealand and Japan - events that are indeed sad for those people - just present our political elite an opportunity to move our attention away from the massive problems we have at home.

Cynical? Maybe, but so true!
