Default Fair play to David Cameron

This was my favourite quote from yesterday's news:

''It is absolutely clear that Raoul Moat was a callous murderer, full stop, end of story. I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man. There should be sympathy for his victims and the havoc he wreaked in that community. There should be no sympathy for him.''

Facebook defies David Cameron and keeps Moat tribute page - Telegraph

Shame all the Goody two-shoes in the country don't understand the difference between right and wrong. I say fair play to David Cameron for having the balls to say something like this when he knows it's a bit right wing.

I completely agree, Cameron was spot on with what he said. I think there are just a load of people who come out with absolute rubbish on facebook (or any other social site) just because they're bored and the can.

Howzat - did you see yesterdays press conf with Obmana and DC? The body language and the words said an awful lot - in a nuthell, obama was p******d at our PM. Obama spoke across DC cutting him off, he vary rarely looked at him, and when there was talk about an 'agressive agreement', his body language said that in fact, there had been shouting and I suspect a lot of finger pointing. It must have been a difficult 30 mins for DC to be on that stage with obama.

Public sympathy isn't the problem, it's media coverage.

Mark my words, just wait for the copycats....

I also watched it yesterday jaffa. Talk about priceless TV - it was almost as good as Adam Boulton's outburst at that t0sser Alastair Campbell just after the election.

Now that was good telly....

YouTube - Adam Boulton (Sky News) v Alastair Campbell (Labour) - FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Anyone else keep forgetting that Cameron is our new prime minister? He's practically anonymous. Not sure if he's trying to keep his head down.

As for Adam Boulton, he's just as much a **** as Campbell.

I have to admit I do like Cameron's openness and honesty by saying exactly what he thinks. Although, he is coming under some pressure now he's PM, especially with regard to comments made about ****stan. Personally I thinks it's better that he speaks his mind rather than taking a vague prime ministerial approach to answering questions.

Fair play Guy, I couldn't agree more. Oh, and welcome to the forum
