Cameron's Roots

by Graham Davies

A few silver hairs can make a politician or businessman look more mature and statesmanlike. They can automatically increase the gravitas of the person from whose head they spring.

David Cameron clearly does not agree with my first paragraph. Somehow, all of his head-hair has turned implausibly black. Not a hint of grey. Not anywhere. Nowhere that we are likely to see anyway.

It is not likely that the carbon emmission level in London has got so high that there has been an outbreak of Spontaneous Darkening. We have to examine the possibility that his lurch to the Extreme Right of the Colour Chart was self-inflicted.

The reasoning behind this possible new initiative is not clear. After all, he is not the sort of chap who walks into the House of Commons looking to pull.

Whatever he has done, his self-presentation looks just that little bit more ridiculous than it did before. I am sure he wishes he could buy a few new ideas in a bottle as well.
