Pointless frothing, let's be honest he's already won. Born rich, private school, PM, big book advance can go & live anywhere in world. Better to ignore him.
I can't find it in myself to hate Cameron. My main reaction to his tenure as PM is bafflement that he, as a Oxford PPEist (and, by all accounts, a very able one), could promote a referendum that drove a dagger into the UK's traditions of parliamentary representative democracy.
I can only imagine that after winning two other referendums, the voting reform one, which was no problem, and the Scottish Independence one, which was high stakes but probably unavoidable, he overestimated his own brilliance and never properly considered the implications should he lose.
David Camerons Ar*e collapsed when the brexit vote went to leave, he threw the towel in immediately and has been hiding under the stairs for the last 3 years, He now has a book to sell so has come out of hiding making all sorts of sensational statements about the people who have had to try to deliver the country's wishes for the party he deserted, the word TOSSER comes to mind
I am from Hartlepool and I am rejoicing in the 10 defecting labour counsellors to the brexit party.

I think Cameron believed that a strong majority for Remain (which most people expected) would have seen off the ERG loonies and Farage/UKIP. His biggest mistake IMO was to allow Cabinet members to argue for Brexit. He should have said 'This Government's view is that we should stay in the EU. If you disagree, the backbenches beckon.' I expect most would have preferred to hang on to their jobs. Also, had Labour been led by someone less lukewarm on Europe than Corbyn, the Remain campaign might have had more impact, because the two main party leaders would have campaigned on the same platform.

His catastrophic error, and one someone with the ultra privileged cost no object education he received should not have made, was not to place any sensible threshold on the referendum. Any sane person would expect at least a 66% bar for what could not be anything other than momentous constitutional and economic change. As such he will go down in history as one of most slow-witted and short-sighted ever to hold the role of UK PM, though currently his party seems quite adept at farting out candidates at least as pungent.

Coming from a country where referenda take place every few months, I can tell you this is a very common game. And it's not all bad.Both you and Joe are arguing that Cameron's big mistake was that he didn't rig the referendum in some way so that it was impossible for the other side to win.

Murdoch had his hand up Cameron while (and probably long before) he was in office, even to the extent that he was able insert a corrupt individual as his eyes and ears into No.10 as head of communications.Publishers of the book owned by Murdoch, fluff piece in the Times owned by Murdoch followed by huge fawning piece on said tome on Talk Radio also owned by Murdoch, if I didn't know better, I'd say there was a connection.
I love a bit of blue on blue action in the morning.The man is a parasite flogging his book at this crucial stage of Brexit and trying to be little the current government. I place in the same bag as one of his previous member the odious toad John Major.

Get outta here! You must be joking! The EU has been the scapegoat for every bit of unpopular legislation and everything that's wrong for 20, no, 30 years. "Oh well they had to do that, it's the EU you know." The shitrags have been peddling this dog whistle politics the whole time. Every Somalian so called refugee gets a 6 bedroom house in Acton, straight bananas, can't speak your mind anywhere any more, that Labour politician he's gay you know, it's not right is it? On and on and bloody on, a drip drip of anti EU propaganda and resulting underlying sentiment that just feeds off itself and is self sustaining. It has always been here, all it took was that piece of shit farage, a poster of Syrian refugees and a f*king bus to reveal just how much anti Europe, yes anti Europe, not just EU, feeling there is in England once you get out of the dinner party circuit. Then some dickhead decided to bloody ask them.until 2016, very few people in the UK had strong views on EU membership: it wasn't yet the critical, hot potato, issue that it has now become

Cameron's catastrophic error was the introduction of austerity & benefit reform, both of which paved the road to Brexit.His catastrophic error, and one someone with the ultra privileged cost no object education he received should not have made, was not to place any sensible threshold on the referendum.
