David Cameron: man of the people
Johann Hari on the feel-your-pain David Cameron:
Let’s start with a tiny story, that points to a bigger untold tale. A few days ago, the Leader of the Opposition was asked how many homes he owns. “I own a house in North Kensington and… in the constituency in Oxfordshire and that is, as far as I know, all I have,” he said. He then started to get confused, said he might own four homes after all, and pleaded: “Do not make me sound like a prat for not knowing how many houses I’ve got.” Imagine if Neil Kinnock said this in 1991. Do you think you might have heard?
And yet we’re going to hand the country to this honkingly unsympathetic arse and his millionaire mates no questions asked.

Where does the Cameron quote and remaining comments about his houses come from? If taped would be a lovely thing to hear now, rather than have it surface in 5 years time.
[...] in I suppose – ones where a war criminal can be a made a peace envoy or a dilettante millionaire who doesn’t know how many houses he owns can claim to feel the poor’s pain – when a professional liar and bully can be acclaimed Mind [...]
Sounds like there’s an opportunity here to compare him to McCain…
