David Cameron is, for example, delusional.

as very few of them, if any, have ever lived "in the real world", they'll never have any idea what it is like - the vast majority of them come from privileged backgrounds - well privileged in that they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth

the fact that they will all be drinking champagne at the party conference is a clear indication of their background

No I don't think he is compassionate as a PM, but then neither has any other PM been, I don't think a political party can ever be described thus (as a whole, not as individuals). He may be earnest and eager to 'hit the right note' but doesn't see that he is often woefully off-key.

'Compassionate' in the sense of "put them out of their misery by shortening their bleak, worthless little lives" maybe?

In an interview in the Sunday Telegraph the Prime Minister David Cameron said he and his government are a compassionate lot :-S

Am I missing something, my impression is that, if you live in a council house with a spare bedroom, if you are sick, disabled, or frail, if you are unemployed, if you claim any kind of benefit, and if your total household income is less than £26,000, then you do not exist :-|

The current government is compassionate - they will be telling us next that a herd of elephants have been swimming up the River Thames, this is what he said:-

"But let me be clear, I am also a Prime Minister who is a modern compassionate Conservative who believes that there is a very important role for government in making sure that we look after the poorest in our society, that we are a compassionate society, that we give people opportunities who aren't necessarily born with them. We are not going to abandon that."

:-S :-S :-S
