Attacking Cameron 9 April, 2008

I was rather disappointed the BBC chose to run the story of David Cameron having to take time off campaigning to look after his poorly child that’s condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Whilst it could be considered a legitimate news story and in the public interest, however it is common knowledge that this is by means the first time Ivan has caused David his father to have to take time off, and no one can say that it has in anyway impeded his capacity to fulfil his job very successfully.

More importantly however is what message this sends to millions of families across the country that tries to balance theirs or their family’s ill health and work.

It is cold comfort for Mr Cameron that this will only enhance his appeal as it shows his human side to the votes as a whole.
