Re-enter, stage centre, a dim, dumb Mr. Magoo

In case any of you are bewildered by my heading, I will provide you with the 'Wiki' description of 'Mr. Magoo' as "a wealthy, short-statured retiree who gets into a series of comical situations as a result of his extreme near-sightedness, compounded by his stubborn refusal to admit the problem"!  Yeeeeeeees, well, I think that about sums up the Rt. Honourable David Cameron, former Prime Minister of this parish!  As Ms. Camilla Tominey summarises it in The Telegraph:

And his surprise at the notion that “non-voters voted” also appears to miss the point about Brexit being a protest vote against the Establishment - and over-privileged people like him. 

While he has the good grace to admit that he set expectations “far too high” on his own failed negotiations with the EU - that he was pleased to come back with a deal that was “dumped on” by the press is yet another revelation laying bare the catalogue of misjudgments at the heart of his premiership.

In insisting the referendum was ‘inevitable’, he tries to shift the blame from his own Project Fearmongery to the eurozone crisis and the “huge political pressure” - although denies Ukip played a part (yeah, right).

Personally, I am delighted that 'Dim Dave' was indeed so far out of touch with the real world as to be almost inhabiting another planet!  It was his dense stupidity that gave us the chance for freedom.  The fact is that the Metropolitan clique that always knows so very much better than us what is best for us received an enormous kick in the ballots and poor 'Dim Dave' is still weeping with the pain.  And still, with his European eyeballs swivelling, he doesn't even begin to understand why it happened.  Needless to say, this same gang that has honed its malpractices to razor-sharpness continues its trickery and crookery in ever more disgusting attempts to deny the right of the majority.

Lest you doubt the monumental stupidity of this Old Etonian, Oxford-educated, upper-class twit, 'there is nothing so became his premiership as his leaving of it':

Yet the former Prime Minister wants the book [his memoir] to dispel the idea that he just swanned off.

Many will question his claim that he wanted to be in Downing Street for a three to four-month period, helping with the transition to a new prime minister.

If that was the case, why on earth did he resign within hours of the 52/48 result?  [My emphasis]

The answer to that was provided years before by his predecessor, a woman with more courage and brains in her little finger than 'Dim Dave' possesses in his entire being - 'he was frit!'

At the end of each caper, Mr. Magoo would innocently exclaim "Oh Magoo, you've done it again!"

Do people remember this stirring speech from Cameron?

At that moment, you will hold this country’s destiny in your hands. This is a huge decision for our country, perhaps the biggest we will make in our lifetimes. And it will be the final decision. So to those who suggest that a decision in the referendum to leave…would merely produce another stronger renegotiation and then a second referendum in which Britain would stay…I say think again.

And the referendum that follows will be a once in a generation choice. An in or out referendum. When the British people speak, their voice will be respected – not ignored. If we vote to leave, then we will leave. There will not be another renegotiation and another referendum.

Now he's calling for a second referendum. Do you remember the days before the internet, when politicians could sometimes get away with this type of thing?

We were also guaranteed that there was no intent to form a E.U. defence force, and yet:

Sorry SoD, but we have already been betrayed on defence.

Why would pooling defence capability with the EU be a betrayal, whereas pooling it with NATO not be a betrayal?!

In the times we live in the yanks wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire. They nicked our empire which we could have turned into a single market of our own, and got us hooked on socialism which wrecked the country 1945-1975. Trump is the logical extension and conclusion of that foreign policy with his "I win, you lose" stance. At least Trump is honest and upfront about it!

Times change and we change with them. Why follow through on a position that's out of date and damaging when you can easily check if it's still "The will of the people" by using the very democracy you admire and have another referendum?

And when it comes to upfront and honest and your faux outrage at politicians lying and cheating I urge you to remember your own man who's in charge right now! Maybe ask his ex-wife for a character reference if you're unsure of his public track record?

SoD,

NATO is a mutual defence agreement, we are not required to provide assistance in anything other than response to aggression (albeit we did). The E.U. military force is not and, as was pointed out in the article, our Forces could be tasked by the EU with preventing our fisherman defending their waters from illegal fishing. Politicians lye, bears use the woods and the Pope is allegedly a Catholic.
