Ask a silly question….

Posted on January 30, 2008 by bobpiper

I am told that about 5 minutes in to PMQs today David Davis was spotted flicking dandruff off his shoulder and on to David Cameron. With Wee Wullie Hague sitting on the other side perhaps that explains why Cameron is increasingly leaning to the right.
It says a lot about PMQs when that is the only thing anyone can be bothered to say about it. Looking at the questions on the BBC website the only thing that strikes me is… why did it take so long before anyone asked the Prime Minister a question that might concern the average Janet and John on the doorstep? We get all the way down to Vince Cable before I can see a question that would make me feel genuinely uncomfortable whilst out canvassing. If David Cameron thinks that the form which police officers have to fill in when they carry out a stop and search is the issue on everyone’s mind, he is seriously out of touch.

    Hate to revert to type Bob but…
    Cameron isn’t suggesting for a minute the public are interested in forms – he’s saying they’re interested in gun & knife crime and the existence of the form might be part of the problem..?

    Sorry, Liam, but if that is what he is saying by waving around a form “a foot long” (which it actually isn’t – you’re not supposed to count the duplicate bit, it doesn’t have to be filled in again) in a theatrical fashion, he’s not really getting his point across and easily allows Brown to side-step what you are probably right is saying is the real issue).

    I think on the basis of:
    (1) The front page of this morning’s Sun (piece of sh** though that paper is)
    (2) BBC lead story from PMQ’s (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7216815.stm)
    (3) Sky lead story from PMQ’s (http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91211-1303090,00.html)
    …he’s more than getting his point across?
