Chindie Posted April 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2010 I must admit I missed the China reference. Massive, massive cock up on his part. Why because China isn't a Muslim country??? I must admit it hadn't crossed my mind but there are Muslims there... No, what more crossed my mind was that they are someone not to piss off and someone we will have to trade with and also will have to work with... a future PM saying they might be a threat to us is not going to make negotiating and co-operating with them any easier. But then they do harbour Muslims... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 You seem to be very quick to dismiss peoples views and take the policial high ground through out this and the previous thread then when challenged on it claim it was a 'joke'. ohhh posts on posters from a mod, nice ... I'll leave the judgements and high ground stuff with you so forgive me if i don't reply to this actual bit have a look through the thread ,there is some serious stuff , then there is some light hearted stuff ..heck have a look through the whole of VT ..or do you really think that Gabby15 is a rapist etc etc but if it helps I'll add a "not entirely serious" spoiler to all my posts from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I think a little too much was made from the China thing tbh. It's as though people think he is going to nuke them if he gets into power. China clearly are a threat in various ways. One a threat to our climate and another a threat to sapping other countries of jobs and resources. China is already booming and set to boom even bigger in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 cameron isnt allowed to say "black man"? FFS Tbh, I found it funnier that this "black man" he met was 40 years old and had served in the Navy for 30 years. No wonder he doesn't want to talk real figures on savings when he has a head for maths like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China is already booming and set to boom even bigger in the next few years. I'd actually say that China do not actually pose a threat from them using nuclear weapons against us The biggest threat from China is that the debt we have is basically their money through buying govt bonds.

Chindie Posted April 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2010 Just really can't stand the man. Funny thing Cameron and the China gaffe, he clearly doesn't know that China aren't a threat like Iran, which was clearly an attempt to link nuclear threat to them, because China's nuclear armament is entirely defensive. They have a strict policy of them only being defensive. Career politician who wants to be PM, and doesn't know foreign affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 cameron isnt allowed to say "black man"? FFS I just wondered why he had to point out that he had spoken to a black man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 he clearly doesn't know that China aren't a threat like Iran would that be the China that does have Nuclear weapons and the Iran that doesn't ? Are North Korea any more of a threat to the UK BTW .. was it the countries named that was offensive or just the person saying them I took the mention of China as an example of uncertainty in the world and not saying China is a threat to the U.K , not that i suppose it matters to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nevermind, it's clear what I meant before without the reiteration. If Cameron said something I agreed with, Tony, I'd give him a chance. He never does though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS I just wondered why he had to point out that he had spoken to a black man? maybe becuase he was ? Was it me though but with the name checking the person asking the question by first name , didn't the asian nurse become known as Mrs Patel as nobody wanted to mis-pronounce her first name ? ITV1's audience began at 8.8 million in the first quarter-hour from 8.30pm, rising to a high of 9.9 million during the middle of the debate, in the 15 minutes from 9pm The audience then declined steadily, to 9.3 million in the final quarter-hour from 9.45pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Come off it Tony, you know exactly whats meant there. and yet you don't extend the same courtesy to Cameron ? do you think he named China to insult them or was he giving an example of uncertainty in the world ... it sorta works both ways .... only it doesn't of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2010 I think the viewing figures for the next one will be up, based on the publicity that this one has generated. Should be interesting to see what tactics El Gordo and Lord Snooty adopt towards Cleggy in the next one. If they keep sucking up to him like they did last night he might even end up winning the bloody election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2010 IT's clearly a gaffe by Cameron, Tony, he'd not have mentioned them in the same breath as Iran if he hadn't. If you can't see that or must defend Cameron just Drat does the red party, I think I'll join Trent in retreating from these again. I tried to get more interested in UK politics, as I've remarked to Darren before now I want to, but this bollocks between the parties and it's diehards puts me off. I give up. I'll stick to conflict and international stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
