TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) So after causing the whole Brexit disaster he is publishing a book to explain it all. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2019/09/man-who-broke-britain From Martin Fletcher's article; "With impeccable timing, as Britain is convulsed by the Brexit turmoil that he triggered, David Cameron is about to emerge from three years of purdah in order to promote his long-delayed memoirs, For The Record. To say that he will receive a hostile reception is an understatement. Much of the population consider him the most disastrous prime minister of modern times – with only his two successors coming close. They see him as the man who ordered a referendum on a bewilderingly complex issue of profound national importance for which there was little public clamour, simply to hold his party together; who was so arrogant and complacent that he allowed the outcome to be decided by a simple majority; who led and lost a wretched campaign in favour of Remain; and who cut and run the moment he was defeated, leaving others to cope with the ensuing mayhem." Possibly our worst Prime Minister ever, although there are plenty in the hunt for that accolade.

ditchman Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 a very weak person appointed to that position.............and the EU laughed and rolled him over........thats why we are in the position, that we are in now.. and now he is making the problem worse...all so he can get a good launch on his book and plenty of dosh Obama had him figured...and his aids reported back that he was a "lightwieght" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Cameron was and is a lot of things, but he at least had the sense to know that you can’t legislate against nutters. Wait til Corbyn gets in, and some nutter goes loopy with a legally held shotgun.......bye bye guns. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatcher was hugely transformative on our country, although many will disagree with her politics. Blair was transformative also, but in a different way and again many will disagree with his politics too. In his own way Cameron made a big difference to our country too and not just because of the referendum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly only negative effects leaving the populace worse off every time? Not talking financially here. Constant erosion of freedoms etc. Just because they can?

panoma1 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Just coincidence he’s come out of the woodwork to comment on Brexit now, just when his book is launched? 🤔..........I doubt it will be a truthful “warts and all” account, all it will contain will be the version of his career and tenure of no 10 he wants people to believe!

Will Cameron be holding book-signing events? I seem to remember Ted Heath signing so many of his tome that a spoof advert appeared (maybe in Private Eye?) offering "genuine un-autographed copy".
