You Can Call Me Mr. 'T' - 31 July 2009
                              
Gosh. Goodness. Goodness gracious me. Dear me. Dear oh dear.  Oh my. Crikey.

Chameleon Conservative Cameron has used the ‘t’ word. No. Not that ‘t’ word – ie. toff, but the
one that can be used instead of the ‘c’ word. No. Not that word – ie. conservative. None of the ‘b’
words. But one of the ‘p’ words…twice.

Our future-tedious-tory-toff-prime-minister has sent everyone tittering and twittering referring to
Twitter when doing his best impression of ‘a cool guy’. Yet another inappropriate ‘c’ word.

Our Dave wants to be seen as one of us, one of the peasants at the gates, one of the hoodies,
one of the lads, one of the lower echelon, one of the working class. Now that is all terribly
amusing. With at least £30m to call his own, I think not.

Mr ‘C’ was being grilled by Absolute Radio presenter Christian O'Connell the other morning when
our Dave made his first attempt at being one o’ da boyz in da hood. “The trouble with Twitter is
the instantness (sic) of it – too many twits make a twat.” Yo bro. No bro.

Oh Dave. Poor Dave. Thinking he was on a roll, he added that the public were ‘pissed off” with
MPs.

The radio host thought it riotously amusing. “That's fantastic.” So Dave did it again. “The public
are rightly, I think, pissed off  - sorry, I can't say that in the morning - angry with politicians.” So
true Dave. So true. Unfortunately that includes you and your wisteria removal claim. Tut. Tut.
Oops. A ‘t’ word…twice.

On being told that he had used the term 'twat', Mr T said: “That's not a swear word.”

Lest we forget; our Dave lives in a rarefied world full of his Bullingdon Boyz. Lest we forget; our
Dave launched a campaign saying swearing in public should be as 'unacceptable as racism' in his
attempt to reverse the breakdown in society single-handedly. Lest we forget; our Dave’s last job
was in PR.

‘But there is only a one letter different from ‘what’ or ‘swat’ or ‘that’. I don’t get it, man.’ Oh Dave.
Poor Dave. It’s all in the meaning, Dave…the meaning. Swearing is irrelevant

Mr T attempted to play down his gaffe: “If I've caused any offence I obviously regret that. I was
doing a radio interview and I'm sure that people will understand that.” His misinterpretation of the
‘t’ word has become the most popular topic of Twitterers around the world. Our boy Dave is in
da house…one of his five.
