"I should be so lucky; lucky, lucky, lucky"

I wonder if Dave is whistling that song around the corridors of No. 10 today?  If not, he should be!  Consider: the sun is shining (and yes, that is very lucky these days), a Brit wins Wimbledon, our rugger buggers beat their rugger buggers (with a little help from the Irish), 'Ed Mili' ties a white scarf round his head and sreams "Banzai" as his plane plummets earthwards into the HQ of the UNITE union, the 'Cleggon' is becoming the most despised man in British politics and finally, not one but two Royal 'bay-bees' to cheer up the female half of the electorate.

Of course, only diamonds are forever, and we must constantly remind ourselves that 'Dim Dave' is the Monsieur Hulot of national politics.  Like the ineffable Jaques Tati, accidents are just around the corner:

             

     David Cameron                                                Monsieur Hulot

Even so, with just over a couple of years to go and having achieved virtually nothing of political importance (I except education), Dave finds himself bestriding an empty battlefield and only the distant thunder of hooves from marauding UKIP outriders disturb his equanimity.  For a total political tosser, that is seriously lucky, lucky, lucky!

But the tosser failed with constituency reform which means that the boundaries build in a substantial benefit for Labour; nor has he reversed the Blair reforms of postal voting which gives Labor a handy corruption bonus. Dim indeed.

You're quite right, DM, and the problem is that I don't yet see any signs of him learning from his mistakes.

David. I think 'Dim Dave' is not so Dim. He will win the next election. Ten Bob on it David. The man has the security of the country at hand without silly irrelevant Andy Murray distractions to bother him.

I have a suspicion, Jimmy, that he has something to hand but it ain't the "security of the country"!
