I've blogged about DAVID CAMERON before. Admittedly, not in the second generation of the blog. But I kinda feel drawn towards writing something about him today.
I backed David in the election, because I believed in him and his beliefs that he could help get us out the recession. He is doing, but we may be on for a double dip. That doesn't mean I back the Conservative party, just because I have faith in their leader, but nonetheless, I would have voted for them.
In the last few weeks, they had their fourth child, Florence, on holiday in Cornwall - and it was splashed on every paper. Yes, it's lovely that the new PM and his wife have another baby, but do we all need to see her? Leave the man and his family in peace.
And then today, his father, Ian, sadly passed away after a long battle with illness. Having been born disabled, he battled on and did many great things to help his son along the way. And David lost him today. Now again, this is gonna be put all other the face of the media, and I know, I'm being very hypocritical by writing this blog, but give him a break.
His dad has just died - the man who helped raise him and helped him become Prime Minister. The least he wants is to be papped every time he moves while he's mourning. Let him grieve, like any other person would want to.
It doesn't matter if you're Labour, Liberal, Nationalist, Communist, Socialist - I don't care what you are, just give him some breathing space. No-one wants to be in the situation he is in now, but it is inevitable we all will be. I don't think any of us will want all the attention of the country on us when it happens.
David, if this ever finds you, every condolence goes to you. I've never met you, nor your Dad, but from what I've read and heard today, he was a big inspiration to you and all that knew him, and that's all you can ask from a human being.
DAVID CAMERON, you are the Day Dedicatee for Wednesday 8th September 2010.
Being PM means being in the public eye every minute of your life. Its part of the job, if David likes it or not! Do you remember Cherie Blairs morning hairstyle? Its not a new thing for the pm (and his family) to be hounded by the press and it wont change.
