This weeks Cameron disaster...

[Gromit]

The candidate he has just picked for the Ealing bye-election, was last week donating to the Labour Party and being photographed with Tony Liar.

The new Tory candidate paid nearly �5,000 for a table and paid another �4,000 in an auction bid at a fund-raising dinner.
You would have thought that Cameron would have checked if this man was a Tory and on his beliefs before installing him as the official Conservative candidate.

Do you think this blunder is unfortunate? Can only be expected under Cameron's leadership? Or just funny?

Sounds to me as if this could have been a major coup, had the man claimed to have been a convert to the cause.

Unfortunately he bumbled on about how it hadn't actually been him but his company that made the donation.

It's unfortunate for Cameron but a half decent PR department should have been able to turn it around.

I think Cameron is secretly working for Labour, given how he is percieved by the Tory press.

With a winning streak like this for the conservatives I'd call a general election now if I was PM.
