David Cameron's son dies, aged 6

[Fedayn]

I think it would be very hard to prove any politician used their family for political gain, when it seems it is the media (society?), rather than the politicians who dictate that a political leader needs to be a 'family' man.

If Cameron was the only politician to 'use' the media, then fair point, but he isn't. The fact his son had an illness, can hardly be seen as seeking advantage can it? The reverse would be to have 'hidden' his son away somewhere. It's hardly on a media spinning par with wearing a baseball cap at carnival is it..?

No-one said he used his childs illness anywhere here. His webCameron youtube broadcast included his children, it was pretty well directed and there's no other reason to include them, other than show him being the family man etc etc.. Neither did anyone say he was the only politician to 'use his family, they nearly all do it. That's not the issue here.

Poor little guy he can't have had much of a life. His family at least looked after him well, giving him mobility and taking him out and about and there is no doubt about the love they had for him. I hope the little fella has found some peace at last. RIP Ivan Cameron

Don't be a prat.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

How dare i even think abut how the death of the Leader of the oppositions son might affect public opinion towards him and his party - and in the politics forum too!

I'm sure Labour strategists are being just as calculating as you in their assessment of the likely impact of his son dying.

They better be.That's what they're paid for.

To be fair, I don't think anyone did. Not that I'm looking for a row about it, there's enough of that going on already......

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Indeed. And I must say I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying here, just not sure it was worth raising it on this thread to be honest.

I'm convince they are.

It means that the denial of the common humanity of society has worked its way into your soul. Fight that shit.

A wee disabled boy dies, and you don't give a shit? Charming.

The only common humanity i have is towords the working class, others well you know my feelings on them, i quite honastly do not give a shit in this circumstace, of course i feel any loss of my class, but then there is not time to morn, because to do so would weaken us and move us from what must be a common objective, that is the emancipation libration of our the working class, i beleave in anarchism not comerpise.

Be realistic, demand the impossible!

Dude a child is dead, can you not summon a scrap of sorrow for such a short life?

 

[Nigel]

I don't think that anyone should not feel sympathy for this childs' death.

I hope this means that Cameron will review his policies towards NHS, wich would mean even more vulnerable being put at risk of their mortality.

no i can not to be honest not one, given the circumstance of said child and it is given i might seem a prat a cunt so fourth, but my anarchism and class pride holds here, i can not have any feelings to do so would weaken me..

A warrior looking for a war eh?

And for a lesson in how to talk utter cliched shite look no further.....

Why would it weaken you to feel sadness at a child's death?

Being a socialist doesn't mean burying your humanity ffs.

Being a socialist doesn't mean burying your humanity ffs.

i aint any socalist..

 

[Belushi]

Innit, being a socialist is all about humanity, compassion for your fellow man.

Its honest, not cliched. I may disagree with the "I cannot feel anything because it is a betrayal of class" etc etc but not with the "I do not feel anything" sentiment.

The death of Cameron's son is a tragedy for him and his family, but there are probably dozens of dads and families in exactly the same position as him today whose children's deaths will pass unnoticed and unmourned by the vast majority of the populace.

and for one on bollocks look no further

Nor much of a human being, if being human has anything to do with empathy.
