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.

I hate to reveal a sad but true fact about how most of males would respond to a rotting door.
Assuming that the door could not realistically be saved and had to be replaced anyway, most of us I have to say would see a wonderful opportunity to release our destructive urges…
Mindless violence can be so cathartic…
Well, if it was your own property or someone had said ‘help me get that door down’, anyway.

I’d boot it.

So none of you would pick up the phone and call the council, then?

We love Dave just the way he is…the young scally wag.
