Quote of the day 30th March 2015
"Please, just for a second, be like a normal human and talk to us, tell us what you think, tell us what you’re going to do! This is what we inwardly beg as a politician is asked something on TV or radio"
"So when a journalist asked the question “Would you go for a third term?” and the prime minister simply said “No”, you’d think that was worth a standing ovation."
"It’s so exactly what we slag off and hate politicians for not doing. The smart money was on a “I don’t think now’s the time to be thinking that far ahead”, or, “That’s an issue that I’ll discuss with colleagues as and when the time comes”, or even a disingenuous, “Gosh, I haven’t really given that a lot of thought”.
"But Cameron did what his lot stereotypically never do and answered the bloody question. In two letters. Bravo."
