An interview with David Cameron in the Daily Telegraph. I couldn’t be bothered to read it, but one sentence stood out:
“People are really beginning to feel that this government is like a house with a door that’s rotting and they want to boot it off its hinges.”
Is this really what David Cameron would do if he encountered a rotting door hanging off its hinges? Does he think that this is the natural thing to do in such circumstances? I know we live in ASBO times, but even a cynic such as myself would hesitate before assuming that our nation’s yobs would always act in such a fashion.
Perhaps politics brings out the violent streak in all of us, even in a seemingly mild-mannered man like Dave. It certainly puts Prescott’s pugilistic exploits into context.
