Samizdata quote of the day
Johnathan Pearce (London)  Slogans/quotations • UK affairs

"It says something about our prospective future prime minister that when he decided to respond to accusations of being a lightweight, he did so by granting privileged access to the “most fashionable man in Britain”, and that the subsequent book that was produced (for which he was paid £20,000) and the subsequent articles that continue to be produced (Jones recently wrote a 3,288 word piece on Cameron for The Mail on Sunday), have resulted in revelations such as the fact that Cameron doesn’t really like Pot Noodle, that he needs six or seven hours’ sleep a night, that he has “small flecks of grey in his thatch” and that his karaoke song of choice is A Hard Day’s Night by the Beatles, because “even I couldn’t muck up a song like that”.

At least our Prime Minister, KRudd, wrote his own book! Sure, it was only a children's book, but it sets a better example than Cameron!

Afraid he seems to have shown his true approach when faced with the EU Referendum.
There is not much to add to that.
Oh dear.
