He is supposed to be a man of integrity, yet he goes to a country where other world leaders have boycotted, due to human rights problems.

What is he trying to prove. Mr Cameron was confronted by people trying to tell him something, but as usual wasn't listening. He is tryin to prove a point, but l cannot see why he went there.:(

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

He is there to say something directly to the person in control about the problems that have/are happening against the tamil population.
That is better than postulating and not bringing it to the attention of the world.
People just staying away and not talking about it in the open are allowing it to continue.

Take your head out of your backside and stop ranting about things you don't understand.

He is there to directly talk to the guy, to bring it to the attention of the UK/The World.

Its better than most of the worlds leaders. For once the guy is trying to do a good thing.

Dave suffers with what we call IAGS.

Just like you

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

He's trying to be an International Statesman, which he currently isn't, maybe because he can see the writing on the wall for his political career and has seen how much Bliar makes.

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

Probably find an advisor told him about the large tamil population in the UK and figured his visit could help with votes at the next election.

Cameron doesn't do anything out of the goodness of his heart, only for benefit of him or his party. Just as bad as Blair and Brown although in different ways.

If Blair can bomb the middle east and then go on to be the middle east envoy....maybe Cameron can move on to be a Citizens advice bureau advisor to help the poor.

They guy WON'T change anything in a country that doesn't give a monkey's about human rights.

Thats why people go missing, and why many government leaders won't go there, don't you read the news.

the UKs version of W.

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

He is there because:

1. Gordon Brown agreed the venue in 2009.
2. Prince Charles will be there, representing the Queen. If our heir to the throne can go to Sri Lanka, so can our Prime Minister.
3. He is the Prime Minister, so he doesn't have the luxury of making cheap political gestures from the safety of a TV studio, like, for example, Douglas Alexander.
4. He has the statecraft and the personal strength to go to the Tamil North of the country, in the full knowledge that he was going to *seriously* tee off his hosts back in Colombo.
5. The Tamil people, many of whom did not take up arms against the government and did not ask to be bombed out of their homes as the war came to a bloody end, were really quite keen to see him, because his visit has given their grievances an international platform they would not otherwise have had.

Arthur, your mindless anti-Tory trolling on this forum is getting very tedious.

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

Amen to that.

In addition to the points highlighted in Chris's and others posts.

He has given the opportunity to those treated badly by both the government and Tamils an opportunity to have a voice. Albeit briefly, but much better than " not bothering"

He should be applauded not derided.

The fact you do so Arthur, speaks volumes, but nothing we didn't already know.

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

I think you're onto something there.....

But I do hope something good comes from this.

It was organised by Labour back in 2009.

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

Did you see Dave after meeting with his opposite number, he had the look of a man that had done a lot of talking and knew not a blind bit of notice had been taken, sort of felt bad for him for about millisecond.

Re: Is he thick or stupid
 

Any response to this Arthur, so the headline should have been are labour thick or stupid?
