I can't help it

Wonder how long it will be before they winkle out who the "senior MP" is who is the source of the pig info.

I liked Paddy Ashdown's tweet.

"Typical! David Cameron once again hogging the headlines at the Lib Dem Conference."

Makes Corbyn's little trip around Europe somewhat normal compared with pigs and penises. Both happened zeons ago but somehow one is fair game and the other makes him more" human". I would be pretty cheesed if it was my son, that and so many questions about his judgement of the friends he keeps.

Pesticides?

Not everyone believes fracking will damage the environment very much. I expect DC is one of those. I'm guessing he also believes that private ownership of forests is not necessarily a bad thing. I don't believe he wants to be deliberately destructive.

The idea that we're supposed to let this go as if it were some childish jolly japes amuses me. Can you imagine if this was Corbyn, he would be vilified.

Fracking? Selling off the forests? He can't think that will improve or preserve the environment.
He came in on a promise of think blue, get green. That didn't happen, and he has now removed subsidies for green energy. Not environmentally friendly.
He has agreed to allow farmers to use pesticides which are known to harm bees, against EU advice. That's harming the environment.

I'm not very keen on David Cameron but I really don't believe he wants to destroy the environment. He may be mistaken about how to go about preserving it, but that's not the same as actively wanting to destroy it.

The Lorax was Dr Seuss's favourite book. It's about spoiling the environment. Dr Seuss said himself that he wrote it when he was angry about what was happening to the environment.
Somehow I do not think Cameron got that message, being someone who wants to destroy the environment. He still hasn't given up his idea of wanting to sell off the forests.
I think Dr Seuss would be very angry about fracking.

This really confirms the advice to keep your friends close but your enemies closer .

I'm not remotely bothered if Cameron took drugs when he was at university. The sheer nastiness of Lord A's book says a lot more about him than about Cameron. The only caveat for me, is that Cameron's choice of close friends and advisor's has once more been found to be dodgy (Rebecca, Coulson etc spring to mind)

I mean DC seeming more human, not Ashcroft btw

It all makes him seem more human somehow!

Ashcroft has always been vengeful - reportedly, allegedly, supposedly, so I heard from a source which I could not possibly disclose.

Was Doctor Seuss some sort of subversive right-winger? [shock}

What's wrong with that then?

I am worried about something I read about Cameron over the weekend; his favourite children's book is The Lorax.
Has the man no shame?

Posted too soon. Should be character . However it appears he should know about the non Dom status of his best mate. Taking the odd spliff or getting --pissed in Bullingdon club antics is not a crime as long as the man is sober and honest now.
Nigglynellie the allegations of strange goings on are coming from a previous friend not from the opposition. If trying substances is all it is and no serious crime is committed we should not be too po faced about it whatever political views we hold , it's his conduct now we need to consider.

I am no supporter of DC but as others have said, within reason the stuff people did at Uni is no real indication of real charactet

Sorry, were, not where!

So nobody on the opposition benches ever took drugs?, never behaved riotously at university? Oh come on, give me a break, which one of us behaved like latter day saint all those years ago. As Jack Straw once said, ' The follies of youth' We've all been there, even the sainted Labour party has had its less than salubrious moments when young! (where they ever young?!!) and it's fair share of less than honest members. A woman scorned is a fair description of this elderly peer.

Anything that involves a dead pigs head and a grown man is good for a laugh.

I don't mean about DC, but he allegedly had a habit of buying up companies whose owner/MD had upset him
Reportedly, allegedly, ostensibly, apparently, I have no proof, etc etc

Gosh!
