Is it Cameron's time?

“Clever, articulate, well educated, socially adept, politically astute, photogenic, charming, charismatic.” This is how this week’s Time magazine Europe describes David Cameron in its cover story.
The great-great-great-great-great-greatson (that is six times great) of King William IV, will enjoy reading this story, as Time magazine seems to like him a bit too much. The entire story in this sometimes not too bad weekly, is a disgusting sanctification of the boring joke, who tries to become Prime Minister.
And yes, Cameron seems to attract many voters. That is problematic. This constantly self-exposing elitist tries so hard to hide his lack of a concept, by saying things that just don’t mean anything. His slogan for example is “It’s time for change, change you can trust.” What?? What change?! Is he talking about the economy? The education system? His mobile phone contract? And how is this change going to look like?
You think you might be used to this kind of nice but empty words, as Blair used to do the same thing, but no, Cameron is much worse. Very much he says just does not quite mean anything.
And also his slogan (“It’s time for change, change you can trust.”) does sound a bit like Barack Obama’s “The change we can believe in, the change we need.” That’s just pathetic!
Anyway, just don’t pick up this week’s Time magazine Europe, as this little pro-Cameron PR article is simply rubbish. Its not investigative, not enlightening and definitively not worth reading.
