Cameron “2nd Best Dressed”
Mr. Cameron’s ascent to the premiership of the British regime looks set to continue unabated with the news that he’s won ‘2nd best dressed man’ in GQ’s annual list!
“Is David Cameron tough enough to be prime minister?” it asked on the cover of an earlier issue that had also boosted the conservative leader’s profile. What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean? Well he does look kind of hard in that picture; one toff you’re probably not going to mess with. For some reason GQ seem to love him. You know what, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some sort of Eton connection between him and the editorial there. Maybe him and Charles what’s-his-name who works for the magazine used to smoke pot together behind the Egerton room together back in 82′. Or else it’s something much more sinister.
In just a few months Britain will have a new Prime Minister. It’s looking like it will be Gordon Brown, (though David Miliband is potentially a contender). And I think it’s going to take more than a few glossy magazine covers to get the tories back into power at the next general election. I think Gordon Brown is more popular with the electorate than some sections of the media would have us believe.
On April the first I was nearly taken in by a Channel 4 news article about The Arctic Monkeys offering their support to David Miliband as a potential leader of the Labour party. He was to join them on stage at Glastonbury in a bid to launch his campaign to younger voters. It seemed plausible enough. It seems that everything in the political sphere is becoming increasingly divorced from reality, and at the moment that seems to be in the in the conservatives favor. I’m half expecting Cameron to launch a radical new conservative policy of re-nationalising the railways or something.
The phone-ins on 5Live suggest that a lot of people have an almost totally irrational dislike for Gordon Brown. That this feeling is at least shaped by the media is undoubtable. The BBC are sort of neutral on this but there’s no doubt that the Mail, Telegraph etc loathe him. Worth noting too that the Guardian has always been pretty Cameron-friendly. Dodgy, that.
I wonder who is the first in the list.
I trust more a man with one eye and a dandruffy suit than this “costume made, look at the camera from this angle, it is your best side” wannabe.
England don’t want a prime minister that is more worried about his reflexion in the mirror than the social policies…
