Cameron's crippling personality flaws
There has been much written and said about the Cameron 1940 gaffe descibed in our posting below of yesterday.
Cameron clearly has no feel for history and what is worse lacks the ability to put himself in another's shoes, a fatal flaw in any intenational situation let alone negotiations. His comparative youth and complete lack of any leadership experience comingh on top of his insular upbringing and lack of proper foreign travel compounds the danger this represents for his country. The fact that the same failings seem to exist across the entire coalition cabinet.
The definitive work on the Anglo/US relationship in 1940 is in my view "Roosevelt & Churchill" by David Stafford, my edition is by Abacus History ISBN 0-349-11282-7 and interested readers should go to page 47.
In the meantime I offer some quotes, from here, to help my readers put themselves in the shoes of an ordinary British citizen in 1940 as we faced Hitler and his Nazis alone.
Put these against what David Cameron stated yesterday I think it's important in life to speak as it is, and the fact is that we are a very effective partner of the US, but we are the junior partner'. 'We were the junior partner in 1940 when we were fighting the Nazis.'
Against that I suppose the only flag that could be added would be the yellow stars on the blue background of the EU, in recogntion of our complete surrender to the concepts and tyranny against which our forebears so bravely fought alone during 1940.

Cameron knows no recent history! Clearly he is unfit for office.
David Cameron, Britain's Prime Minister, believes Britain was a junior partner to the USA in fighting the Nazis in 1940.
The USA was not even in the war at that point as Britain then stood alone in a completely subdued, quaking and mostly conquered Europe.
What a shameful lack of knowledge for this supposed leader of the Nation. Not even knowing on the just passed 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain that we then fought alone.
NO WONDER HE LOST THE ELECTION..... KICK HIM OUT NOW!
(A video link of the dreadful interview with Adam Boulton will be placed here when it comes available)
