From his speech in Blackpool today: “This programme for government is real. It’s real and it’s realistic. It has to be.”
Sometimes really lazy comedy just writes itself.

ooh, couldn’t help it. Made-up anecdote alert!
“I went and taught in a school for a couple of days in the North of England . . . And I stopped a boy as he was running into his GCSE exam and I said ‘What’s the problem?’ and he said ‘Well, I got completely pissed last night, I’ve got a hangover and I’m going to flunk this exam’.
And I asked a teacher about him and I was told well he’d attacked a teacher before and he trashed a classroom and none of us know why he’s still in this school.”
Dave Cameron
Yeah, because kids who beat teachers and trash classrooms and get pissed the night before exams *bother to turn up to the exam knowing they’re going to fail*
