Prime Minister's Questions - Cameron Disaster Zone

The last time David Cameron led the Opposition at Prime Minister's Questions was four weeks ago on 11th February, half an hour before which session in Cameron's own words: "Sir James Crosby, the man who ran HBOS and whom the Prime Minister singled out to regulate our banks and to advise our Government, has resigned over allegations that he sacked the whistleblower who knew that his bank was taking unacceptable risks." The final question to Brown was the following: Mr. Cameron: The Prime Minister cannot get his facts right. The fact is that we have the biggest budget deficit of any country outside Egypt, Pakistan and Hungary—and two of them are already in the International Monetary Fund. Let us deal with a few more of the facts that the Prime Minister just gave us. My right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) voted against the VAT cut in this House. The Prime Minister never gets his facts right; he told us the other day that he was like Titian aged 90, but the fact is that Titian died at 86. For all we can see in the Government’s response to this recession, they have appointed the wrong people, they have made the wrong decisions, they cannot give us a straight answer about the mess we are in, and they never apologise for anything. Now everyone can see the price that is being paid, as thousands of businesses go bust and people are made unemployed up and down our country. Is it not clear that incompetence plus arrogance equals 2 million unemployed? Has the economy or Britain's situation improved in the interim, for Cameron it appears so for today he asked four wasted questions on an economically irrelevant topic regarding one Moroccan who may well have been tortured. Millions of his fellow citizens are on an economic downward spiral to unemployment and zero spending or pensions... the Westminster Club could clearly not care less!
