The Tantalisingly Tantric Cameron! – The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on January 20, 2013

When it comes to getting screwed by our present Prime Minister we have to be patient.

No Gordon Brown style wham-bam-thank-you Ma’am.

First he graciously teased us with a ‘I might tell some Dutch academics on Friday’,

Then it was a ‘Hang on a minute, Algeria’s put me right off my stroke’,

Come Sunday, we were still lying back and thinking of England, and he announces via William Hague, that he might tell us on Monday,

Or tell someone, probably a delegation of Korean miners,

Whether at some point,

He might possibly consult the British,

But only those British who are still in the UK or returning within 15 years,

As to whether he intends to give the British a chance to say that they want to stay in the EU – but he definitely won’t give them a chance to say that they want to get out.

He’s already leaked that bit of his speech to Reuters.

He’s threatening to go on like this for another five years.

I’m losing the will to live.

For God’s sake, pull out, let’s get it over with.

Don’t worry, the election in 2015 will put Mr. Cameron out of his misery as
well as returning Labour to power to put the last nails in the coffin.

While I can see UKIP making a breakthrough in terms of electoral support
exceeding the Limp Dims, I can’t see a single UKIP candidate getting elected
as the first-past-the-post rules for Westminster make that effectively
impossible. I can however visualize the Limp Dims being cast into the outer
darkness of political irrelevance, they have been playing on the “if only we
can get into a power sharing coalition…” card for decades and have proven the
fruitlessness of their position when this actually happens.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a further splintering of the Tory party
after their rejection at the polls in 2015, bring forward another clone of
Tony Blair is only likely to exacerbate their future un-electability. Expect
to see voter participation continue to decline as the electorate become more
and more disengaged from the meaningless squabbling of the elite in
Westminster.

“Gordon Brown style wham-bam-thank-you Ma’am.” Is there any recorded
instance of his saying the last three words?

This looks suspiciously like a horse’s willy. Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

Words I have heard so often. Along with:
“Are you done now?”
“Is that
it?”
“Have you started?”
“It is cash only, petal”
“I knew I should
have taken my mother’s advice”

Yes, withdraw – there’s nowt else to do when you’ve made such a
cock-up.

The image conjured up by Anna of ‘Snake Hips’ Cameron all “giving us one”
over the vexed question of Europe is an evocative one.

Unfortunately, I think that all of us who have been shouting “It hurts,
pull out” will have to wait a long time before we get the chance to lie back,
exhausted, thoroughly buggered and resentful as hell.

When all is said and done.
More will be said than done.

Words to live by.

Though in this case the Camoron cannot even rouse himself to
platitudes.

I suspect events may intervene, the EU is in a mess, Germany is shortly
going to have to put more money into Greece, their exports are slowing, the
list goes on.
However.
If Cameron reneges on an in out referendum again
he’s toast, as well as the whole Conservative party.
And he knows
it.
Fascinating scenario.
We could see the UKIP breakthrough soon.

right_writes January 21, 2013 at 08:42: ‘Course, what’s missing from British politics is a decent conservative
party and a decent “classical” liberal party.

The current CONservative has the potential to become the former, but I
fear that the social democrats are so firmly in control that any
conservatives left there are going to have a torrid time. UKIP is basically
a liberal party, one of the reasons that the establishment hates it so much,
so much liberal policy calls for the removal of the state that unemployed
civil servants will make unemployed miners look like a Thatcher tea
party.

Some of the more intelligent conservatives may well join, or remain in
UKIP, but I do not accept that conservative voters are suddenly going to
start voting UKIP… Their votes are going to come from the increasing amounts
of voters that have had a barrelful of “big” government and had enough of
it.

It would be interesting to see what twats like Cameron would make of a
genuine conservative/liberal coalition.

Pompous opposition front bench spokesman at the Dispatch box, “This is the
politics of coitus interruptus!”
Gleeful cries from government benches,
“Withdraw! Withdraw!”.

That’s enshrined somewhere in Hansard, apparently.

Matt Wardman January 20, 2013 at 17:48: Willie Hamilton, no less

“If hon. Members remember, the proposal then was whether to join the EC.
Big chunks on the Opposition side were against it and big chunks were for
it. It was the same on this side. Willie Hamilton, in exasperation, stood up
and said, “This is crazy. This is absolute chaos. This is not the politics
of Europe. It is the politics of coitus interruptus.” A little voice
shouted, “Withdraw!”. If they know what is good for them, some Members of
the House of Lords down the Corridor will withdraw to their rolling acres
for good.”
