His policies also damaged the NHS beyond recognition.

Re: If only Cameron had not been PM

At the time, I didn't quite understand why Cameron stood down after the vote but I can see now that he did the right thing for himself. I thought maybe he left because he didn't agree with the result but it's more likely he knew the sh*t was about to hit the fan. He obviously had good advisors which is more than can be said for the current lot.

Re: If only Cameron had not been PM

I think every pm we’ve ever had apart from Churchill ends with ‘if only’ .. obviously in Tony Blair’s case there are a thousand if onlys ... I imagine Cameron would reply to this thread saying if only Nigel Farage has never been born .. hindsight is a wonderful thing

I suppose that's true really. Even Churchill was kicked out eventually.

Re: If only Cameron had not been PM

There is a programme starting on BBC2 on Monday night which promises to be very revealing...
"Inside Europe: Ten Years of Turmoil",

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46951942

Having read the synopsis I just hope my blood pressure can cope with the arrogance of politicians .

Hmmm! That bothers me too. Bound to be a teensy bit biased.

At least he asked the people what they wanted to do, LD, how many other countries, in the EU, have done that.

We all know that he was so arrogant that he thought the whole country would be on his side, and we all know that he jumped ship before any of his promises had started to be worked on.

But the bottom line is - without his referendum we would now be stuck tight under the EU.
