Welcome to shit creek.

Who'd want to be David Cameron? I'm sure I'm not the first to think this but unless he's mad or stupid can he really be looking forward to becoming PM? It's fast becoming apparent that the piggy bank will be empty and the cupboard will be bare and whether Gordon pulls off some electoral miracle (or, as some would have it, cancels the election) or whether Dave wins the country will be up shit creek without a paddle. The new PM will probably have to either savagely cut back public services or raise taxes, or possibly both. Looks like we've found out where the likely future PM's first instincts lead though. Is the state so sacred that nobody dares voice the idea that reducing it might take some of the fucking burden off the rest of the country? Tough decisions to be made, and it'll be one of two soft cocks making them.
