I'm quite amused at some of the old tosh being written here, come on people just how many life skills do you really think a PM should have experienced before being qualified for the job?
Should he/she have spent some time as a refuse collector, postman, shop worker, factory worker etc to have empathy with folk in those roles?
Using some of the barking logic from in here surely he/she would have to spend time as a nurse, doctor, porter, specialist, surgeon etc to have a proper grasp of how the NHS works?
With regard to DC,s lack of military background just what do any of you think is the bare minimum spec on that score? Should he have spent some time as a soldier/airman/sailor then gone on for some tri service time at both SNCO and officer level?
Where does it stop?
Cameron got where is by being good at what he does, as do so many of us. I have never been a postman, bin man, doctor etc etc but if I have a reasonable understanding of what they do why would I assume DC does not.
Some of you really do need to stop bleating about politicians and grasp the fact that the country is well and truly in the dwang. The Tories inherited a huge cup of cold sick and there is nothing but pain on the horizon for us all.
The pay freeze hits me in the pocket to a tidy tune in lost pension and gratuity next year. Mrs SFFP recently got made redundant but stuff happens, we are simply sucking it up, cutting our cloth accordingly and getting on with it.
I have been in the RAF for many years now and have lost count of the times I heard the same old "we will never be able to cope" whinge but we always do and I bet we continue to so for many years to come.
DC was correct to tell us to STFU and get on with, it's what he's having to tell the whole country so why should we be any different.
