Has "Camera-on" lost it?

I thought he was supposed to be the master of ad-lib and could work without a script.

Cameron loses plot in interview

He constantly flusters his way through the interview and at one point begs to have the cameras switched off.

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

So bloody what that he has *flustered* in an interview.

The current waste of space Prime Minister, Gordon Brown has 'flustered up' this country. Go figure.

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

The point is he seems to be very uncomfortable when talking about gay rights. He as no idea what his European memebrs are up to and what the implications are of their associations with other groups in Europe. I notice when it is perceived that Gordon Brown has a bad interview, it is not a non-story.

Mick	25-03-2010 15:24

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

Hmm - doh, because that might be because he is the current Prime Minister.... :rolleyes:

He's a rank amateur.
Not worthy to stand before the presence of such virtuosos of blithering, as say, Boris Johnson or John Prescott.

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

I think the main reason is that Brown has done it so much, that it's no longer news..

Hell, even the staff at No. 10 appear unable to communicate effectively, if this is true.

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

Brown's been uncomfortable answering any meaningful questions for years! During PMQs and despite the time he has to prepare he routinely dodges anything which reflects badly on New Labour and instead relies on repeating the same old claptrap. The only opposition questions Brown seems to answer are ones that haven't been asked!

Gay Rights is one of those issues where you can't spew meanless generalities that everyone agrees with, no wonder he has trouble. Brown would as well.

;) It was my own "personal" perspective on his falterings. :)

That said, he has boasted on his ability to give speeches and interviews without scripts etc. why would this one be any different. Could it be that he was being asked rather awkward questions. The ones where he knew the answers would either alienate the electorate, or his paymasters?

But he doesn't have a problem with "spewing meaningless generalities that everyone agrees with" when it comes to his trips to the provinces in "Cameron Direct."

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

Yeah i mean this is way worse then say lying to an official inquiry or routinely dodging answering anything you don't like even when that is the purpose of your time (pmq's). Gay rights is a hard area for most politicians because like it or not they have to be careful what they say because they have to please all sides in a debate where all sides are often far removed from each other. At least he got flustered on a difficult topic and not something routine like ol gordon does week in week out.

Ditto.

On Cable forum we have

Those that enjoy a debate.

Those that belong to a crime syndicate of some kind :LOL:

And then we have the questionnaire a group dedicated to Labour whilst attempting to shoot down the Tories with a torrent of Questions, Funny thing is it seems to only have one member at this time :LOL:

Re: Has "Camera-on" lost it?

Can we have another group for the politically disenfranchised, who believe that whichever of the two parties are 'democratically' elected in to have yet another go at $*!#ing everything up, will make very little difference to the man in the street?
(Perhaps a sub-group for those who think that anyone who even wants to be a politician should be immediately deported to Australia, without supper!)

I can't wait 'till things hot up - perhaps THEN I'll see a good reaso to vote for any of them. As it stands all I see is that the 'big two' if you like are just as bad as each other. Still I will continue to consider it I guess.

There are a lot of positives for Labour is losing the election though. If they go now they are unlikely to be in opposition for over 10 years because the polls are quite tight and while people may not like them, they don't especially like the Tories either. That is not a good basis for the Tories to build a lasting, decade long, government.

Ah the Lib Dems the one party that has so far put forward a potential policy that would benefit everyone, still why bother about that when you can score points of each other on an internet forum and then go and vote for a party that'll give you nothing unless you're already a millionaire.

Locally it doesn't matter how you vote you will end up with a Tory :( (unless you voted for Shaun Woodward who then went to Labour) ;) At least I will have a few eccentrics to choose from next time. :D

Sorry, I wasn't aware I was not allowed to post threads that criticises Cameron or the Tories. I will have to check the forum terms and conditions to make sure. :rolleyes:

Nope, just checked, there is nothing in the forum terms and conditions about anyone not being allowed to post threads criticising the Tories. So Alferret, try again.

They then break into your house, steal your postal vote (which they applied for without your knowledge), and use those votes "appropriately". :D

If you had something that was more than your opening post then it may be worthy of some discussion.

First of all, I don't give too hoots whether you agree with my posts or not, but it is better that you debate the subject instead of attacking me. Or don't you have anything useful to contribute. Secondly, I am free to post on whatever subject I darned well please, it is not incumbent upon you to tell me that I have done it too often. I am pretty sure that the mods would let me know if I am posting threads about one subject too often, but then I didn't think there was any rules against that either. One important thing to rememebr; if you don't like what I post, either report it, or ignore it.

You havnt got to point out to me that you are free to post on whatever subject pleases you. Labour havnt taken that away from us yet (although I'm sure its on the agenda somewhere)
Its not about the type of post you make (well it is as there seems to be only one underlying feature of your political post's) but you are right, post away. If it makes you feel like you have done your bit for the outgoing party, makes you gain favour with your labour peers, who am I to stand in the way of your progress :erm:
