Webcameron? Ohhh, I get it…
Dave is now giving speeches from his kitchen via his new blogging site, Webcameron. For those of you who don’t get the pun, it’s like Webcam with ‘eron’ on the end. Yep. That one actually took me a second.
Dave is desperate to show us that he is a compassionate, modern Conservative, an oxymoron to start with. His speechlets are interrupted by his darling child somewhere in the background whittering about finishing her bread and jam, and his washing up is done with Ecover washing up liquid. How homely.
I use Ecover as I am a left-wing Guardian-reading wooly liberal who thinks he can save the planet by buying Ecover products - presumably, I was supposed to see Dave using Ecover and welcome his to my bosom immediately as a kindred spirit.
Labour is currently running a campaign called Dave the Chameleon, highlighting the apparent ‘flip-flops’ in Cameron’s political stance so far. Dave the Chameleon, and Webcameron, are both amusing ideas, and Webcameron is certainly an innovative way of engaging with the electorate, considering that previously, initiatives to increase public access to politicians using the web as a medium had been through sites like Write to Them.
Cameron is infuriating - he says all the right things, looks earnest, isn’t smeared by scandal, had his party’s symbol changed to an oak tree… it’s just he’s a Conservative. No, that’s not it, he’s a politician.
Quite Random is the blog of Nathan Nelson, a human male who lives in the UK and is not entirely sure what he's going to do when he grows up but is interested in international development, photography, secularism, technology, music and movies and other things anyone of his age would be.
never buy cheap washing up liquid…it’s a false economy as you will use 4 x as much and pollute the environment more. Stick to Fairy!
