It's statements like this (by Cameron) that remind me why I hated the Tories so much before I discovered the particular evils of zanulabour.
Thank heavens the Lib Dems will have them on a leash for five years (before we get another dose of nunulabor).

Yes it is an attack on the mentally ill by CAMERON. Some of the most vulnerable and lovely people in society.
How low can a politician go. Not good.
veritas
the man is a completely unsympathetic character but he is an example of a government's refusal to face facts.
Globalisation and corporatisation and all that comes with it..the loss of jobs and communities. Increased social problems on a huge scale will mean much worse mental health and more Moats.
Innocents die as a result of course.

I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man.
Was he talking about Damien Green when he got arrested by police in his Commons office?
"I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man.
There should be sympathy for his victims and the havoc he wreaked in that community.
There should be no sympathy for him." David Cameron
So I wonder if he's about to ditch the old tory chestnut of 'care in the community'? Or is he all for the old victorian style mental asylums where inmates were beaten and tortured on a daily basis? Perhaps a throwback even further to the days of witch burning?
He says it clearly...'I cannot understand any wave, however small, of public sympathy for this man'.
But of course he was never going to condemn the appalling circus that was allowed to unfold on the streets of Rothbury last Friday evening.
Is he actually saying that mental illness doesn't exist?
