Every time I watch prime minister's questions I am struck by the way Cameron looks and sounds like a public school bully. I find I wrote about this earlier this year.
In a country where being "posh" is just about the worst sin there is, even as it is becoming progressively more unequal, I wonder how this plays with the public.
Perhaps the Tories reason that Gordon Brown is now so unpopular that they will be cheering him on, but I wonder.

Being a bit unkind to Flashman aren't you? At least the bewhiskered cavalry cad was good with a horse and lance; not sure what Dave's natural talent is apart from being (a) not Brown and (b) having a face, like Blair's, that doesn't actually frighten the horses.
I was thinking of Thomas Hughes's Flashman rather than George MacDonald Fraser's.
Don't know about the status of TH's Flashman these days, but his American colony of "Rugby, Tennessee" is alive & well. Check out www.historicrugby.org and come visit! We'll mistreat you only if forced.
haha, love this post, but he will never be half as cool as Flashman
