Cameron's Christmas message

I must admit to chocking on my breakfast muffin when I read Saint Cameron's message to us the great unwashed and I feel so much better for the uplift!.

Thank you for your Christmas message ayse I concur with your sentiments.

Cameron isn't a Christian , I think he chose a Christian message because the press has said the queen will put emphasise on the Christian faith in her speech this year, he got in first, expect he thinks all he has to do is turn up at church for a Christmas service and put a tenner on the plate

I have not had the pleasure of reading/hearing it and now that I know about it and its content will move heaven and earth to avoid it.

Do you remember Thatcher and her "Where there is discord...." speech?

Where is that finger-down-throat icon?

That was the nearest I could find!!

Suppose it could have been even more sickening - he could have quoted The Beatitudes

Happy Christmas everyone. I will avoid Cameron's speech, too.

Oh dear, Dave, you have put your foot in it again.
Our PM has a very unfortunate habit of making public statements which enrage and alienate people ( example, his promise of EVEL the day after the independence referendum).
I once read that a senior politician ( forget who) described him as naive.
I don't know anything about his religious belief but I do wish he was better advised about what to say to unite his country, if that is what he wants to do.

I despair about that man! Why can't we get rid of him?

It's better than Corbyn's. At least it exists.

I can't see the need for any politician to make a Christmas speech. The world would be a better place without them.

But it shouldn't exist anyway; since when has the PM done a Christmas speech? Get the feeling sometimes that Osborne and his supporters are advising 'Dave' to do daft things . Corbyn is probably too busy working is a Christmas soup kitchen somewhere [said tongue in cheek but not beyond the realms of possibility...]

Is hypocrisy better Jingle?

Don't worry, we're going to get a New Year message from Corbyn instead.

Cannot see any connection between Cameron's Christmas message and Corbyn or the new year - a distraction perhaps

I had a feeling Cameron wasn't a Christian (so thanks, anniebach, for confirmation (no pun intended)). I haven't listened to the message and probably won't but was he talking about cultural christianity when he said Britain in a christian country? Even Richard Dawkins says he is a cultural christian. We have culturally jewish friends who don't take any notice of ancient rules like not eating pork but who do acknowledge their jewish heritage.

Still, whatever his intended meaning, I don't think politicians should engage in partisan religious twaddle. It's not inclusive enough.

I thought DC was a Christian. Why do you say he is not, Anniebach?

He claims we have Christian values and urged us to reflect on them. Was it his foreign or Home Secretary who said bringing the refugees here from Calais would lower our standard of living . I don't recognise those Christian values

What his ministers say is no indication of DC's own religious beliefs.

If Christmas messages were confined to the Head of State we would be spared egregious waffle from all party leaders.

Cameron's silence following the statement tells us more than any words could

So what you mean is that he's not the sort of Christian you think he should be. Doesn't mean he isn't one.

Definition of Christian - follows the teaching of Christ

Example - I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink . I was a stranger and you took me in.

idiot

DC I mean!
