Eton Rifled!

Its been revealed that David Cameron, leader of the opposition and strong favorite to be the next Tory Prime Minister, smoked the old "whacky baccy" while at Eton and Oxford. Does anyone think it will make any difference in the next General election?.. will it affect your vote?

I did hear his nickname at Oxford was "crack pipe Cameron"

Big deal, he smoked a few joints at school. Join the club. Wouldn't stop me from voting for him.

SPUGGIE J · 10-02-2007, 23:05

So he was sort of normal. Hell if it makes him see the real world why not.

grannyclaret · 11-02-2007, 00:12

I always thought there was something strange about his looks....if you put them thin glasses round his face he could be a dead ringer for Data in space 1999....

No that wouldn't stop me voting for him either...........but lots of other things would.

Thing that annoys me is that they've brought this up again (I'm sure we knew this ages ago as well) to wear almost as a badge of honour. Yes, I'm hip and trendy and understand where you kids are coming from. We can't get all the disolussioned adults to vote any more so let's see if any of the newbies will. Let's vote against the establishment sort of thing.

Very tacky tactics if you ask me.

Spoilt it for me, normal people don't usually make good politicians.

cherokee · 11-02-2007, 11:32

but it shouldnt make any difference the fact he,s had a bit of the whacky baccy....so have many others in the public eye including royals but it dont make me like / dislike them any less...

That's an interesting theory, Gayle. As far as I'm aware, this story has come up again because it's included in a new book called "Cameron The Rise of The New Conservative" by James Hanning and Francis Elliott. However, by saying "they've brought this up again" you're implying that the Tories have revived the story. Are you, therefore, saying that Tory spin doctors have colluded with the authors and/or publishers of this book in an attempt to give "Dave" some street cred? And if you are, what's your evidence for this?

Obviously, anything's possible in the murky world of politics and, if true, it would indeed be tacky tactics. However, for a supporter of this present government which has made tacky tactics a fine art form (the sexing up of the WMD report in order to justify our entry into a totally pointless war is perhaps the most shameful example), to accuse another party of indulging in tacky tactics is almost breathtaking in its sheer cheek.

I am sure that we have all done things in our dim and distant past that we would not do with the benefit of hindsight......is it not part of the learning process?....and growing up.
The only thing that should influence the people who vote for him is.......will his party put into practice policies that will make life better for families and the general population?
