David Cameron apologises for making 'Tourette's jibe'

[Cobbydaler]

Ed Balls is an absolute failure. He just parrots what the spin doctors tell him.

If had £10 for every time he's said 'This Government/Osbourne is cutting too deep, too fast...'

Having said that, there was no need to bring Tourettes into it. Just call him a ****

I'm not entirely sure what Cameron meant but if someone was making sudden movements or yelling at random times how would you describe their behaviour?

Describe it as a simile, I'm not talking about making some sort of amateur diagnosis.

I will say it, this government is appalling, the cuts that they have made are too severe, that's why there is so many losing there jobs, Unemployment has risen to a 17 year high.

And they are boasting it is going to get worse, that's appalling for them to say that, that Idiot said the other day ' if l lose the next election on what l have done, then l have carried out what l started to do' This is from a PM who can look into the voters eyes and say carry on regardless. Tellll that all those people who are losing there jobs.

Resign Cameron, you couldn't organise anything.

Cameron did nothing wrong, it was an accurate description of the Balls bag.

In the English language we have a term for what Cameron did.

He used a "simile", that's all.

If you had lived all your life with a condition which can severely affect your social interaction, your job prospects, and basically your life in general, how would you feel if the man who claims to be working for the best interests of the country uses is in his petty spat with someone else?

I'm not saying he should be resigning or anything, I'm not sure even an apology would make any difference. But I understand people being unhappy at it.

[Arthurgray50@blu]

IF, that idiot looked from 'our' side of the wall instead of 'his' side, then he would see what damage he is doing, he does not have a clue, a well educated man and now runs the country along with puppet Clegg, he is doing a worse job then Thatcher ever done.

There are people living in this country that are living in terrible conditions, with medical problems that need support and they are not getting it.

Just up the road from me there are barracks that are unfit, yet we have our armed forces living there before going to fight overseas, and yet that idiot is trying to help our services - in squalid conditions as they are - Hounslow Barracks should have been knocked down years ago, but are still going. Appalling.

i would say they couldn't care less ,it's only people assuming they will be offended that is the problem .Do you know they will be offended ,have you asked any sufferers ?.

I haven't, however I have Attention Deficit Disorder which has some parallels with Tourettes and if Cameron made a similar comment about ADD I'd be feeling pretty much the way I described earlier.

Oh, the irony, considering the thread subject....
