Cameron not off down the boozer

Cameron most vexed.
Instead of starting the Tory conference scraping the barrel of positive things to say, maybe taking a strong stance against people being forced to drive at 70mph when they really, really want to go faster. Cameron began with what he knows really matters. Mumsnet votes.

Cameron fretted to the Sunday Times that people were mistaking him for a “sort of 'all right luv, I'm down the pub tonight’ man”, which as The Guardian’s Jackie Ashley pointed out hilariously misses the point. Of course Cameron is not that kind of man, you have to visit pubs for a start, and they have to be the kind of pubs that have fruit machines.

It’s hard to believe Cameron really believes this is the impression he’s unintentionally given. We are talking about someone with a background in PR here. You do not have to be a feminist to know that men who visit the pub every night without wifey’s permission are not the threat. It is the men in power who have yet to reel in the overwhelming condescension they feel towards grown women. The men who refer to all women as ‘girls’ and believe we are all fools for shoes, diets and chick flicks. Feigning baffled concern when secretary knits her brow at being called ‘sweetheart’ yet again (girls! Knit scarves not brows, you can’t afford the wrinkles). David Cameron knows its better we all have a little snigger a little at the image of him shuffling into a piss-stained pub with his dog on a string than as the posh establishment figure he is.

The best was when William Hague said that if you wanted proof that Conservatives weren't scared of powerful women, "You just have to look at our accomplished wives." HNNNNG!

He couldn't just leave it at a Maggie Thatcher comment could he.
