Maybe they do that is AUS like the japanese sell used school girls underwear. He seems remarkably helpful and level-headed about that, considering how he loses his cool about Brexit. He just sees lying out of a wet paper bag is something to be proud of.

Rod Speed wrote pamela wrote For all intents and purposes he's not going to be around to answer for breaking his promises. He was never going to be around to answer for anything, he had announced well before the referendum that he wasn’t going to be PM for a third term. If you didn’t understand that that means, that's your problem. He hasn't broken any promises. Cameron broke at least two key promises about the referendum. One was to implement the referendum decision even if it was 'Leave' That is what is happening, so that isnt broken promise. and the other was to invoke Article 50 immediately. He never promised to do that. He never promised to personally be involved in Britain leaving the EU if the referendum decided Britain should leave. That is incorrect. Nope. It sounds as if you may still not be aware of what I have been trying to point out to you he Then you need a new hearing aid. Cameron said many times that whatever the result of the referendum he promised he would be implementing it. He never ever said that he would be doing that PERSONALLY and in fact had said very unambiguously that he would not be the PM at the next general election. If you can't accept this as a matter of fact It isnt a matter of fact that he ever said he would do that PERSONALLY. then we will just go round in circles. Yes, you keep claiming that he broke that promise when he did nothing of the sort. The govt is implementing what the referendum decided should be done. In fact he had previously announced that he would not be the PM at the next general election well before the referendum happened. Cameron pointed out that, as a result of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act he had introduced, the next election would be in 2020 three years after the referendum and that he said he expected to play a very full role in implementing the referendum result in that time. He never said anything like that last. And even if he did, that isnt a PROMISE to do that. Cameron went out of his way to make it clear that he would fulfull all five years as Prime Minsister He never said that either. but not stand for re-election and that he would not be resigning after the referendum no matter what the result. He never ever said that last either. Cameron pointed out he was elected for 5 years and that many of those years remained before he was going to leave and in that time he would implement the referendum decision. He never said that either and even if he did, that’s not a PROMISE. Here is one press story out of dozens about this: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...david-cameron- stay-as-pm-if-i-lose-eu-referendum That isnt saying anything like what you claim he said, let alone promised. He broke that promise. No he did not. I don't understand why you keep saying, "He hasn't broken any promises". Because he hasn’t. It's untrue. Wrong. |

'The people' ignore his advice, then seem to expect him to act on theirs. Theirs isnt advice, it is their DECISION, something else entirely. Bit like going to the doctor. Nothing like it. Cameron is no expert on anything except how to end up as PM. He recommends a course of treatment. You disagree. If the symptoms continue and you don't want his advice, no pointin going back to him. There is when you can show him why what he advises doesn’t make sense and you can get the doctor to reconsider what he recommends. Find another who can give an alternative. If you can. Or get the original doctor to realise he ****ed up. That's the trouble with thinking you know better than experts. I have in fact known I know better than the doctor a number of times. On one occasion one of them decided that I must have pancreatitis, a quite serious medical problem that can kill you, even tho there is a very specific test for that that showed I didn’t have pancreatitis. She appears to have decided that because she is just another wowser. Turned out that the problem was actually gall stones, a very very common problem indeed and the silly cow didn’t even bother to order an ultrasound that would have proven that that was the problem. On another occasion a different GP, my regular one, got a bit concerned that he couldn’t find any pulse in either of my ankles. When I asked the physician about that later during a routine checkup with the physician, he said that that was no problem at all, that some people's arterys in their ankles are too deep inside to the ankle to be able to feel a pulse in them and showed me that the pulses were there fine on the top of the feet. Next time I was having the routine checkup with the GP and he couldn’t find the pulse again, I told him about that and he agreed with the physician. But the next time he still couldn’t find the ankle pulse and didn’t check on top of the feet until I reminded him again. He was also the one who when I mentioned that I got sore feet at times when walking for exercise, started going on about gout, even tho gout is much more of a episodic medical problem and I wasn’t getting episodes. When I said 'why isnt it just arthritis ?', he agreed that could be. OTOH he was the one that eventually ordered an ultrasound that made it clear that the problem was gallstones, after everyone else just shrugged and said that they didn’t know what the problem was for years, including the hospital A&E. I keep seeing him because I have to have someone to write repeat scripts and I'm not aware of any GP that is any better and he's extremely skilful at surgically removing skin cancers and charges very little to do that, unlike the dermatologist who charges like wounded bull and whose operation is such a grossly disorganised shambles that you can easily end up wasting half a ****ing day actually getting even the most basic consultation that doesn’t involve any surgery. |

He never promised to do that. He never promised to personally be involved in Britain leaving the EU if the referendum decided Britain should leave. That is incorrect. Nope. It sounds as if you may still not be aware of what I have been trying to point out to you he Then you need a new hearing aid. Cameron said many times that whatever the result of the referendum he promised he would be implementing it. He never ever said that he would be doing that PERSONALLY and in fact had said very unambiguously that he would not be the PM at the next general election. If you can't accept this as a matter of fact It isnt a matter of fact that he ever said he would do that PERSONALLY. then we will just go round in circles. Yes, you keep claiming that he broke that promise when he did nothing of the sort. The govt is implementing what the referendum decided should be done. In fact he had previously announced that he would not be the PM at the next general election well before the referendum happened. Cameron pointed out that, as a result of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act he had introduced, the next election would be in 2020 three years after the referendum and that he said he expected to play a very full role in implementing the referendum result in that time. He never said anything like that last. And even if he did, that isnt a PROMISE to do that. Cameron went out of his way to make it clear that he would fulfull all five years as Prime Minsister He never said that either. but not stand for re-election and that he would not be resigning after the referendum no matter what the result. He never ever said that last either. Cameron pointed out he was elected for 5 years and that many of those years remained before he was going to leave and in that time he would implement the referendum decision. He never said that either and even if he did, that’s not a PROMISE. Here is one press story out of dozens about this: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...david-cameron- stay-as-pm-if-i-lose-eu-referendum That isnt saying anything like what you claim he said, let alone promised. He broke that promise. No he did not. I don't understand why you keep saying, "He hasn't broken any promises". Because he hasn’t. It's untrue. Wrong. Rod, if you genuinely believe what you have been discussing with me Of course it is. I don’t do lying. then perhaps your understanding of what Cameron said is at variance to my understanding Yours isnt an understanding, its just plain wrong. and that of many newspapers and web sites. None of them that matter have ever said that Cameron promised that he would personally handle Britain leaving the EU if the referendum had a majority for leaving. Let's not debate this endlessly because I think you and I do not share the same interpretation about what has been happening. Yes, you are just plain wrong. |

The first promise was that he would be staying on as Prime Minsiter whatever the result. The second promise was that if the result was Leave he would take steps to invoke Article 50 immediately. And now he has gone and won't be back. It is now up to the electorate in his constituency to decide whether they wish him to be their MP post 202o, assuming he stands.. That's true. One question is who, if anyone, feels obliged to keep Cameron's promises. The only promise he made was that the wishes of the majority in the referendum would be carried out. Cameron gave his word about certain actions Just one, that if the majority in the referendum wanted Britain to leave the EU, that is what would happen. but now that he's gone his word doesn't really count for anything. Bull**** it doesn’t. Britain is leaving the EU. |

You didn't notice St Nige going on and on and on about Islam, then? Then show me the evidence of nige saying islam is on his side. First I've heard of it. Very good. Didn't really expect you to understand. As expected yuo have faile dto find teh proof that religion is used to drive UK politics. well not seen Bethnal green anyway. Hate of Islam was certainly used by some for political ends. So. That has nothing to do with it. No party or side stood up and said any particular race or religions is bad or worng and no one stood up and said vote for me because God is on my side and that was my point. Of course you could argue this is more of a race than religious thing. I'd say it's more of a culture thing, but you may well argue it's a skin colour or clothing thing, whatever your point you need to back it up if yuo want me to believ it, others are more easily led. |
