Perhaps he and his Lady Wife, Mrs Pixie Balls-Cooper, will now have sufficient funds to take into one of their home a Syran refugee family, as they had promised to do during the summer:

Not sure if "Wee Burnie" Sturgeon has fulfilled her end of the pledge yet.

It's a joke at politicians' expense, QM. I make them at the expense of many politicians regardless of their persuasion because, quite frankly, that’s all many of them are fit for. As is evidenced here. In the height of the summer when the refugee fiasco was at its peak we have the likes of Sturgeon and Cooper proudly stating they will take in a Syrian refugee family (OK, with some caveats that it must be “part of a wider strategy, etc. etc., but the soundbite was well planned). Well, here we are three or four months since the article and following the arrival of a number of Syrian refugees and their “proud” pledge is yet to be fulfilled. Unlike the poor *** on the Isle of Bute who have had a number of families foisted on them in completely inadequate circumstances. As I said, nothing but a joke.
If that's the case, NJ, how about having a dig at Cameron for his endless lies about the UK's flood defences, which Mother Nature is currently revealing as almost criminal? As regards a derogatory nickname for him, what would you suggest? I did consider the 'swinish' one, but it has been rather done to death in recent weeks.
I know you're no fan of Cameron, but - given the current state of UKIP - I'm sure you could find something similar to criticise about Farage...he's a (would-be) politician, too.

I don’t think “Pixie” or “Wee Burney” are at all derogatory, QM. I cannot, incidentally, claim credit for their invention. That honour goes to a well known journalist. But they both describe the physical appearance of the two politicians (provided, that is, you know where “Wee Burney” originates from).
I think, perhaps, “Lord Snooty” would be appropriate for Mr Cameron. He certainly bears a passing resemblance to the well known Beano character, though I’m not quite sure whether any of his “pals” fit the bill. I’m not really sure about Mr Farage. Of course he has not had the opportunity to break any promises as the others mentioned have.
Incidentally I do find the comparison between Lord Snooty breaking his pledges and Pixie and Burney breaking theirs is not quite valid. Lord Snooty, of course, has broken political and manifesto type pledges which almost all politicians are prone to do all the time. The undertakings the other two made were more personal. They led people to believe that they would be more than willing to accept a family of Syrian refugees into their homes. They have had plenty of opportunity to do just that as quite a number of Syrians have arrived under the government’s scheme. I’m sure they could have used their contacts to acquire some of them in order to fulfil their pledges but it seems they’ve been otherwise occupied. Personally I strongly believe we may never see their promises met. But I could be wrong.
