Cameron blasted over waitrose comments
 
This sums up what a complete stuck up twat this guy is

http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/cameron-st...-over-waitrose




Labour has branded David Cameron "stuck-up" and "empty-headed" after he praised Waitrose for attracting the best grade of customer.

The Prime Minister gave his views on "supermarket sociology" as he visited a store run by parent company John Lewis in Cheadle, near Manchester.

"I have got a piece of supermarket sociology, which is that there is something about Waitrose customers ... they are the most talkative," Mr Cameron reportedly told staff yesterday.

"I found that if I shop in Waitrose it takes me about twice as long as everyone wants to stop you and have a chat. Whereas in other supermarkets I find I can dart round very quickly and get everything.

"It is something about your customers, they are very talkative, engaged people."

Mr Cameron revealed that he shops at Waitrose - regarded as a favourite of the middle classes - whenever possible. He uses Ocado - another firm catering to the higher end of the market - to deliver goods to Downing Street.

However, he said he went to Sainsbury's near his constituency home in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, "because there isn't a Waitrose".

The comments drew a personal attack from shadow Cabinet Office minister Michael Dugher.

"Families are on average £1,600 a year worse off since David Cameron became Prime Minister," he said.

"Most families understandably have to shop around and watch every penny because of the cost-of-living crisis, plus very many people increasingly have to rely on food banks.

"This is a world away from that of David Cameron.

"There's nothing wrong enjoying shopping at Waitrose. But Cameron seems to be saying that at Waitrose you get a better class of shopper.

"This is a bizarre and empty-headed intervention from a Prime Minister who increasingly gives the impression of being stuck-up and out of touch."

Because the other supermarkets are full of people trying to find the best way to feed their kids on a pittance perchance?

Its easy to like Waitrose if you can afford to

I expect Miliband schleps round Aldi every Saturday. Or..... not.

Didn't Cherie Blair once, way back when her old man was Prime Minister, come out as a Waitrose customer? Was it okay back then?

I shop in Waitrose sometimes,great food and not much more expensive than places like co-op etc.

Livia 03-04-2014 03:59 PM

*Makes a thread about how awful Kazanne is to shop in Waitrose...

:-)

Dont really see whats wrong with what he said tbh.

I'm certainly not offended, I think its ridiculous that strangers apparently all stop and speak to each other while doing their shopping in a certain supermarket :shrug:

smudgie 03-04-2014 04:32 PM

I really think there is some straw clutching going on here....nothing better to diss him on than him saying nice things about where he shops.:joker:

Farage hunts and eats what he kills

Thats proper politics

Shaun 03-04-2014 04:40 PM

surely the fact that he's oh, I dunno, the ****ing prime minister probably explains why people stop to talk to him anyway?

i know if i glanced at him where i shop (asda, tesco, sainsburys) i'd just avoid eye contact and move to another aisle. waitrose, i'm sure, is full of daft old folk who think his shiny face is endearing.

Personally I think you get a better class of Eastern European women in Aldi and Lidl so I'm not with the PM on this one.

boohoo

smeagol 03-04-2014 05:27 PM

Its about snobery and his attitude in general , its no secret he lives on a different planet and thinks of most people as below him scum. this is just another indication of his attitude.
worst prime minster in our history. the worst kind of person you could have for a leader and decision maker.

he is welcome to come to any of the other supermarkets i will be happy to talk to him :)

if i saw him in tesco he would be leaving with a baguette up his arse and a belly full of tabasco sauce and bleach lol though he might like the first part

LOL I was thinking this. Those who shop at waitrose regularly are more likely to be well off...so the average (not all..but the core vote is rich and pensioners) tory voter. Whereas those scrimping in tescos and asda (me included) are so much worse off from his policies they would be more likely to twat him one than give a pleasant hello :joker:

Vicky. 03-04-2014 05:34 PM

Also my last post was a figure of speech...before anyone accuses me of being a working class violent thug or something because of that sentence :p:D

Vicky. 03-04-2014 05:35 PM

Actually, that said I was going to try ocado the other day because I found a £20 off a £80 shop voucher online. But they dont deliver to my area
