Dear Prime Minister

[la_marquise]

Dear Prime Minister,

So it's appropriate to tell a female colleague to 'Calm down, dear' in public, is it, and then claim that it was a joke and a cultural reference, and that makes it okay? It's appropriate that your boon companion (and our chancellor of the exchequer) to find it hilarious? It's appropriate for one of your other ministers and fellow travellers to make a speech claiming that it is all the fault of middle class women if working class men haven't gone to university, because those women used space when they could have got married and had children?

I didn't vote for you. I probably would never vote for you and your party, because I oppose what you stand for. But you just ensured that I will never under any circumstances develop any respect for you, either.

yours,

La Marquise.

I'll confess, as an American I don't keep up with politics across the pond, but the video in the second link makes me wonder how the hell this guy manages to hide all the oil that is surely oozing from his slimy pores. I love how he tries to play it off at the end, like he uses "dear" as a universal sentiment to be applied to all genders. Shyeah right.

He's a member of the Conservative Party. They are, as far as I can tell, born like that. It baffles me how anyone could bear to vote for him.
