In an extraordinarily patronising piece in the
Failygraph, the Great Moore reaches down to us mere plebs and sternly instructs us not to rush to judgement on the
lightweight Mr Cameron and his ghastly crew.
"Mr Cameron", the Great Moore doth solemnly declare, "stands in the pivotal place. If he plays this right, he will be the leader of change. If he gets it wrong, he will be the last, tottering representative of the ancien régime".
Then sayeth the Sage Of All Sages, "For all his mistakes over the Murdoch saga, he does not deserve the latter fate".
Back in the real world, however,
we learn of an observation by actor Damien Lewis, who recently attended a White House State dinner and sat with Cameron, Obama, Warren Buffet.
That an actor should be in such company, in such circumstances, says a great deal, but the account of the meal is worth having. The two Americans, apparently, wanted to talk about how to solve the economic problems and create jobs. Cameron, we are told, kept changing the subject to his belief he could take Obama at tennis.
This is the sort of thing that, if it isn't true, should be. It seems to sum up so perfectly the tenor of our Great Leader.
Whether it is or not, though, we are certainly not rushing to judgement. We knew he was a wrong 'un in 2005 (
nor were we alone) and have proceeded on that basis ever since. Our judgement has been long, slow and is by now well-matured.
