The Death of David Cameron

[Atatürk]

As you may all know, David Cameron's son died not too long ago.

So what did David Cameron do, he stayed away from politics while he was mourning the death of his son. And if that wasn't enough, he also affected the rest of the political world in Britain by having Gordon Brown give a speech about David Cameron's dead son when he should have been talking about what actually mattered.

Mr Obama once described David Cameron as a "lightweight". I think this latest antic by Mr Cameron goes a long way in justifying Mr Obama's claims.

The leader of a country, the prime minister, should be cold blooded and should not act on emotion. We do not want a 'woman' for a prime minister, we want a stern and powerful man who can lead the nation.

David Cameron needs to grow a spine and until he does so he is not fit for the role of prime minister.

Are our leaders not allowed to be human? What is wrong with somebody expressing natural grief over the death of their son?

On the countary, this sort of thing helps to show that deep down our leaders are still people like us. Leaders need us to know that as it makes us appricate them, or at least understand them more.

Grow a spine? The man was back in the office after two weeks. I do not want a man running my country who is incapable of showing compassion/emotion to his own famlily, let alone that of other human beings. And Mr.Obama is a half wit fool.

good answer old bean

[Garrigan]

You're saying he shouldnt show grief for the death of his young son? I may have little belief in Politicians ever acting altruistically, but I dont think they are totally devoid of human feeling. For Cameron to acted as he did (which was no surprise) shows that he is human. I dont want my (potential) leader to be devoid of human emotion, that leads to dark places.

Basically I have no issue with what Cameron did, he did nothing wrong. And although I may agree with Obama's comments regarding him, I dont feel this shows him to be a "lightweight".

[Markas]

I think he is a lightweight as well as a nitwit but I would never hold against him taking two weeks off for the death of his child. I don't think there was any kind of cynical theatre either as I often feel there is.

Yep, id agree with this, politicians are all the same in britain, faceless lightweights willing to wheeldeal themselves into power but have no idea once they get there. It upsets me when people believe cameroon will sort out our problems, as will the tories, nothing will change whatsoever. Sorry for the generalisation, but im fustrated at the current state of british politics.

[Atatürk]

The man is human, I accept that.

But he needs to act as a professional, not a woman who acts on her emotions. Even Margaret Thatcher was more of a man than him!

Professionalism is the key to being a great leader. There are far worse things in the world than the death of his son, and he needs to realise this. He can mourn for his son if he wants, but it shouldn't affect his work in such a way!

Sorry, how many children did Thatcher lose?

1. What's wrong about being a woman?
2. No parent that loses a child thinks so.

Your comments on the thread and your general tone seem to imply otherwise.

Mourning for your son is neither "womanly" nor "unprofessional". When something that serious happens, it is perfectly normal and understandable that you take some time off. The psychological effects such a loss would have would certainly affect his work badly, so even from that viewpoint, taking time off was the right thing to do.

From a parent's viewpoint, the death of your son is probably on of the worst things that could happen.

How has it effected his work? He's leader of the opposition not the PM. Yet.

David Cameron is slipping, he just doesn't have it in him. He lacks the endurance needed to keep up with Gordon Brown, who isn't even a particularly good leader.

David Cameron will remain as the "opposition", he will never become Prime Minister for as long as he holds onto his feminine side.

This is downright one of the dumbest ass posts I've ever seen on TWC. And thats saying something.

Perhaps you could be a little more constructive, try not to reply like a small child who's lost his lolly.

Sorry, how many children did Thatcher lose?

None that I know of. You didn't have to ask me that question to find out the answer.

I can tell you now that Mrs Thatcher is more of a man than David Cameron will ever be!

Yes, the answer is none. So how can you compare Cameron to Thatcher when one lost a child and the other didn't?

Oh God, this thread again, needs locking.

Kemalraik abandoned/was chased away from it, there is no need for it to remain open

[Pickle_mole]

Your essentally calling him a "pussy" for grieving over his dead son? awesome.

I'm assuming you speak for all britains when you say this? Because if so, then I'm still not surprised at the all the Big Brother regulations.

When you become a leader of a country, or caliphate as I'm judging by your avatar, then come back and tell me how humanity should be governed. I'll be waiting.

Ah, Zephyrus, my old Greek adversary. It has been too long my brother since we last encountered one another on one of these threads.

I don't need to tell you how humanity should be governed. If you really want to know how a modern government should be run then please read the autobiography of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He was stern, even in the face of battle. He was just, even in the midst of chaos. These are traits I fear David Cameron will never have.

Yes, the answer is none. So how can you compare Cameron to Thatcher when one lost a child and the other didn't?

I can compare them in the same way I can compare Stalin and Hitler, or Hannibal and Kublai Khan.
