Perfect for the Daily Mirror http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...drens-services Aged 81 his Mother has gone against her son I am sure the PM would know of this of this attack. [Mary Cameron, who is 81 and served for years as a magistrate, confirmed to the Daily Mirror that she had signed a petition battling to save children’s centres designated for closure by the Conservative-run Oxfordshire county council. The petition, signed by about 10,000 people, says: “Our children’s centres are a lifeline to new parents who rely on locally accessible advice and support at a time when it is most needed.] Last edited by arista; 09-02-2016 at 05:31 AM. |

If fit age should never be a barrier to Trying to be PM,Winston Churchill was elected PM in 1951 at around 76 years old.
Good on the PM's Mother for signing this knowing the embarrassment it could cause him. |

Can you imagine the conversations she's now having with her son.
Cameron: Mummy you are so naughty. DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU'VE DONE? Mary: I'm sorry Doodle, but mummy hasn't forgiven you since that pig incident. You were a very naughty boy who brought untold shame on our families good name. Cameron: Sob...sob What do I have to do to make you proud of ME mummy?. Mary: ...click

Oddly enough Cameron is also against the childrens centres closing and such. Even though he has caused this to happen. The mind boggles, truly

It's the Council who've cut the children's centres, not the government.

Yes I understand that. But Councils make the decision about where to make cuts and they can raise council tax if they need to. Children, the sick and the elderly should be ring-fenced in my opinion. And when you look at the amount of money councils waste on crap it's easy to see where the money goes.

He has no right to be moaning on about cuts in his constituency when he has effectively, made the cuts. Removing 72 million from a councils budget is ridiculous.

its the council that set their charges based on the services they want to provide. I would argue that councils are deliberately targeting services considered controversial to make a point

He also says he wants all children to get the care his son got from the NHS, yet again under his policies many children with special needs are having operations cancelled and put off. He is a man very good at paying lip service to important issues while doing or allowing to be done, the opposite to what he claims to stand for. Not lifting a finger to stop such things either. He may say he believes it wrong to close children's centres but he is then content to sit back and let it take place. No matter how it happens that they close. |
