Cam pokes himself in the pie

Here's David Cameron tweeting to try and make himself look like a normal human but unfortunately for him the response is a barrage of abuse.  It's really not a great idea for politicians under such scrutiny to try and use social media, why do they do it???  Every single thing posted on his twitter account gets a very negative backlash, what possible benefit can this be to the soon to be ex-PM?  From the endless stream of replies and comments on this single tweet I'm struggling to find a single positive one, actually finding a moderate response that doesn't contain the word f*ck is difficult being as everyone seems to think he's a puppet/android/toff/corporate bum boy.

.@David_Cameron This is not the time for you to be pratting around baking. Haven't you seen the state of the NHS? The Economy? YOUR fault.

The pie tweet aside, reading the responses to any of his tweets really is not only entertaining but eye opening, I could devote a whole new blog to it.  It shows in clear, bold plain English what your normal person on the street thinks about modern politics in Britain, for example read the responses to this one about freezing rail fares for five years twitter.com/David_Cameron/status/586445784545001472, everyone is tired of the transparent bullshit and tactical policies that end up as broken promises anyway.  The whole political system needs smashing up and reforming (aka revolution).

Hunter Gatherer Bakes a Pie

After a quick foraging mission within a 5 minute radius from home I returned with a bag full of tasty blackberries.  Whilst collecting these wonderful fruits alongside nearby pathways some of the passers by gave me perplexed looks perhaps wondering if I was actually going to eat these things despite them not being in a labelled plastic carton. Someone actually told me that a dog could have wee'd on them "they can wee quite high you know!", well I'd rather rinse doggy piss off them than cancer causing pesticides.  Anyway, the bushes are heaving with them at the moment but it doesn't seem the done thing to go picking them which means all the more for me!

Along with some apples from the tree in the back garden I made a nice forager's fruit pie. Yum!
