Dear Prime Minister

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.

Cameron reminds me of the kind of public schoolboy misogynists I despised at Cambridge. Not least in relying on the 'can't-you-tell-I-was-being-ironic autoreply whenever called out on their bigotry. His type are repulsive at the age of 18 - to be unchanged at 40+ suggests a serious lack of character.

He's a floater - deeply unpleasant to encounter, but always rises to the top.
