I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,329

Not to mention the Rockabillies Syria's full of them after Assad Snr took a shine to Carl Perkins and his wife had a likewise disposition toward Dorothy.

If you think the Taliban are nuts try doing a deal with a man holding a Kalashnikov whilst listening to Perkins performing Blue Suede Shoes on a dead NATO soliders iPod!

There is something quite horrible about the deilght the Tories take in kicking the poor and vulnerable, while at the same time claiming it's for their own good. Thatcher's death seems to have galvanised them to reanimate her legacy.

'The thoughts of Chairman Chip.'

In an interview with LBC radio, Mr Cameron was asked if he knew the price of a loaf of "value" bread in a major supermarket.

He said: "I don't buy the value stuff. I have a breadmaker at home."

I bet he's called Tarquin

He He, Samantha??..

No she isn't the type of woman who does anything round the house

She will have 'staff' to do it all for her

Lady muck

Has she still got that tattoo of Tricky on her leg?

The days when she used to shoot pool in Bristol?

(Someone said)

I believe that to be the case

Update just in:

Her Dad, allegedly "evil" Old Etonian Sir Reginald Sheffield, is the archetypal blue-blooded Tory. His ancestors are said to include a Speaker of the Commons during the reign of Henry VIII. The Normanby Hall estate where Samantha grew up had been in the family since 1590. It was handed to Lincolnshire council in lieu of death duties. But the family still owns Sutton Park, a £5m mansion near York with 1,000 acres of land. Samantha's mum, 60s It Girl Annabel Jones, split from Sir Reginald when she was five. Annabel then married another Old Etonian - Viscount Astor - who was a minister in John Major's government. She owns Oka, an interior design firm, with 13 stores. Samantha herself attended £30,000-a-year Marlborough College.

While in Bristol, Sam tried desperately to shake off her aristocratic upbringing to fit in with other students. She got a dolphin tattoo and was regularly seen playing pool with trip-hop artist Tricky in the Montpelier pub. He once said: "I was robbing houses, robbing stores, selling weed by the time I was 15. But I was a good pool player so we often played together. I'd show her a few tips and tricks, how to hit a few shots.".........Indeed when the Camerons moved into their home in Notting Hill, West London, in 2006, a neighbour idly speculated that the next time removal trucks pulled up the family would no doubt be moving to No 10. Samantha is reported to have replied: "I f**king hope not." She has always been slightly edgier than her husband...........and is seen by Tory strategists as an asset in giving "Dave" some street credibility.

I hope none of you good people buy that despicable rag The Mail, but I urge any that do to boycott it after today's disgusting hatchet job on Ed Milliband's father.At least it shows he has the right wing nutters rattled

The truth is here for those interested

Have to echo the disgust... USA has Fox Spews, we have the Daily Fail. Their support of Fascists in the 1930s was bound to be highlighted in all this.

Hey, great avatar! :)

Had Radio 2 on at lunch time and I was amused by the cognitive dissonance of people complaining that their NHS doctors weren't available 24/7 and then just as vehemently declaring that you can't be a socialist and true Brit. We'll keep the welfare state because it suits us, but f**k you, Clement Attlee!

I don't think people really understand what socialism is.

I can't see a 'share' button so it's copy and paste, email from Labour today.

Dave,

On Saturday and last night the Daily Mail printed stories about my Dad. The headlines called him "The man who hated Britain."

There was a time when politicians stayed silent if this kind of thing happened, in the hope that it wouldn't happen again. I will not do that.

This isn't about me and my family - this is about doing what's right.

Speak up for decency in British politics, and add your name to mine.

It is perfectly legitimate for the Daily Mail to talk about my father's politics but when they say that he hated Britain, I was not willing to put up with that.

My father loved Britain. After he arrived in Britain as a refugee from Nazi Germany, he joined the Royal Navy. He did so because he was determined to be part of the fight against the Nazis and to help his family hidden in Belgium. He was fighting for Britain.

Britain was a source of hope and comfort for my dad, not hatred. He loved Britain for the security it offered his family and the gentle decency of our nation.

The simple truth is something has really gone wrong when a newspaper attacks the family of a politician - any politician - in this way.

I won't stay silent when it happens - that's why I have written a reply in today's Mail. I hope you take a moment to read it, and then say you won't stay silent either. We can be better than this.

'The thoughts of Chairman Chip.'

I think we'd all benefit from a Cultural Revolution with Chip in charge.

All this talk of "Opportunities" in Cameron's speech makes him and Gideon sound like an even posher version of the Pet Shop Boys.

"I've got no brains, you've got no looks. Let's inherit lots of money."
