Cuties Installed at No.10 Downing Street

Cuties Installed
at No.10
Downing Street



Nick Clegg                                        David Cameron

Is it the beginning of an exciting new political epoch for Britain or just a case of “second verse, same as the first”?

Whatever comes to pass as a consequence of the present unlikely coalition of David Cameron’s rightist Tory Conservatives and Nick Clegg’s moderately leftist-leaning Liberal Democrats, you’ve gotta admit that David and Nick are both kinda cute!

They both look like two perfectly splendid chaps to me and they seem to be already getting along famously together, if this recent pic in TIME magazine is any indication.


I love the way David is gently guiding Nick in the door at No.10 Downing Street. Yep, I can just imagine them working long hours together, burning the midnight oil, way into the wee small hours of the morning. All for the nation’s good, of course. No hanky-panky! Well, maybe just a little! They are only human, after all!

Yep, they're human alright, and have had their differences in the past. For example, during the election campaign, David Cameron rhetorically asked, "What's my favourite joke? Nick Clegg." And Nick Clegg is also capable of dishing the vitriol when it suits his purpose.  During the second leadership debate, he accused David Cameron of aligning the Conservatives in the European Parliament with "nutters, anti-Semites, people who deny climate change exists and homophobes."

Following is part of the TIME article. To read the full article, click on this link:

There is palpable excitement in Britain, a sense that the fresh-faced 43-year-old Cameron and the fresh-faced 43-year-old Clegg might bring out the best in each other and their parties. But in their similarities there are potential pitfalls. Both attended elite, fee-paying schools (Eton and Westminster, respectively). Both were students at Britain's two most prestigious universities (Oxford and Cambridge, respectively). They lead parties stacked with white men from similarly comfortable backgrounds: 54% of Tories were privately educated and 41% of Lib Dems, compared with a national average of about 7%. Among candidates seeking to succeed to the Labour leadership, the front runners are all white men, all Oxford graduates, aged 40, 43 and 44. Only 4.1% of MPs are from nonwhite backgrounds, less than half the total percentage in England and Wales and especially conspicuous in London, where nonwhite residents make up 31% of the population. Women, 22% of MPs, were largely invisible during the election campaign, or they were assigned walk-on roles as decorative spouses. Such an imperfect reflection of the wider population received scant attention from media that more closely reflect the makeup of Parliament — overwhelmingly white and male — than of their audiences. These bald numbers tell only a small part of the story of how Westminster became so detached from modern Britain. The speed of social change; the profoundly transformative effects of globalization; the digitized, interconnected, buzzing 24-hour culture: these forces are leaving institutions across the world struggling to keep up. Still, if the new brooms of the British government wish to avoid being quickly swept away themselves, they ought to start getting better acquainted with the people who put them into office.

I agree with you on Nick Clegg, bet he's got a hot little bod under that Saville Row. Plus Englishmen, like most Euros are, err, unclipped.  ;)

Yes, clipped is VERY unusual in Britain!
