David Cameron said in a speech yesterday that the unemployed “should stop whinging and get a job.”
It doesn’t take a genius to spot the obvious flaw in the Prime Minister’s logic.
There aren’t any jobs.
But it’s not his fault. He wouldn’t really know all that much about getting a job in the real world, because he’s never had to live in it, has he?
Right from the start he’s been living in a different world to the rest of us.
Did you know that on school sport’s days, Cameron’s primary school always provided three separate toilets: one for the ladies, one for the gents – and one for the chauffeurs? Believe it or not, it’s true.
And it’s also a fact that at the age of 11, Cameron was invited to a classmate’s birthday party – in the US.
The party was for John Paul Getty’s grandson – and began with a trip on Concorde. The party food included caviar, salmon and beef bordelaise. The party drinks – Dom Perignon ’69 (he was 11 remember).
It’s also been confirmed that just before Cameron’s first job interview at Conservative Central Office, someone from Buckingham Palace called to recommend David, saying that they were just about to interview “a remarkable young man”.
Cameron is the Queen’s fifth cousin, and he is said to be worth around 30 million.
So with that kind of background and royal recommendations, he obviously thinks it’s as easy for everyone else to get a job.
But don’t just take my word for it about Cameron being an out-of-touch toff who wouldn’t know a P45 from a Ferrari P4/5. After all, I’m just a bitter lefty intent on class war.
Why not have a look at this excellent article I’ve managed to dig out from 2007 by that well known bastion of socialist propaganda, The Daily Mail. I doubt the SWP or Class War itself could have made a better case for …. well ….class war:

Oh David, dear foolish David Cameron- Missed the obvious again haven’t you?
I can look for work, apply for work AND still take the piss out of you/pick apart your shameless rhetoric! How?
It’s called the internet and the world wide web. Plus a lack of Bollinger as a youngster means I can multitask. Yay Brain Cells!
In fact David, you’ll find most of us ‘commoner’ types can do this as we tend to develop skills like this in the real world.
Silly silly Toxic Tory.
Excellent post as always Tom 🙂

Thanks. I was genuinely shocked by the bollinger drinking at age 11 – that’s truly weird.

Yes, remember the Bollinger drinking next time he goes on about drinking and crime, and also the jolly japes he and Boris got up to when they were in the Bullingdom Club.

Hmm.
Don’t really see what some did when they were 11 has much really to do with how they are now at 45.
Sure he didn’t grow up having a paper-round and holidaying in Butlins, but how does that make any real difference.
I hope any plane I ever take has a well qualified pilot.
Regardless of party affiliation, I think he does at least have sufficient ‘qualifications’ to be the ‘pilot’ of the UK.

Your story suggests that David Cameron said “stop whinging and get a job”. But that quote doesn’t actually appear in the story you linked to.

Ed – of course, everyone is entitled to judge for themselves whether the facts of his background will affect whether you vote for him or not. But the facts do have to be out in the open. The article I link to is actually much more critical of him for his background than I am – and it’s the Daily Mail remember – a Tory party supporting paper. In a way I agree with you – if his policies were different I wouldn’t hold his background against him either.

Actually the quote does appear in the article – in fact it’s the headline. But I take your point – Cameron actually used the word ‘complain’ instead of ‘whinge’. Does it matter?

Um, you don’t seem to understand what a quote is. A quote in this case would mean words that David Cameron actually said. The headline has been written by someone at AOL and is not a quote.
A quote would be contained within speech marks, likes this :”words from his speech”.
If you read the article you link to, you’ll notice that the word “complain” doesn’t actually appear as a quote either.
To answer your question, yes, accuracy does matter. I’m sure there’s plenty to criticise in what Cameron actually said.

I think you ought to remind yourself what satire is. It’s not meant to be accurate – it’s a joke. Hopefully a meaningful one.
If it’s accuracy you’re after – this isn’t the place to find it I’m afraid. 🙂
