Controversy about his selection

Surely deserves a mention: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250661/Mutiny-faithful-Tears-mayhem-resignations--scenes-key-Tory-constituency-rocked-David-Cameron.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.254.204 (talk) 12:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

There was a mention, inexplicably removed by User:Pat6791, who has made no edits, except four to this very page. Unless anyone objects, I'm going to put it back in again, and ask him or her why it was removed. --Quentin Smith 10:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

You mean the A-list selection process. Not "his selection". What you are writing as a headline is sensationalist as it connotes a sort of problem with him (and/or) what went on at the hustings in East Surrey. Surely you must see that? Yes the Daily Mail and most other newspapers made much of the "radical" selection lists of David Cameron but a longer lens of history tells you it is nothing new at all and only provokes widespread local party angst that their local prominent people (from whatever sector) are not necessarily prioritised as they used to be.- Adam37 Talk 11:12, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Vocal peculiarity

Whilst generally speaking with a slightly affected, carefully pronounced, upper middle class accent he says:

Gradin,

Underpinin,

Suggestin,

Strugglin,

Teachin,

Takin,

Spendin,

Risin,

Enrolin,

Cost-cuttin,

etc.,

and other words similarly ending with 'ing' in which he omits pronouncing the final letter.

This appears to be a performance / affectation of the same sort as that for which Priti Patel has become infamous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.71.174 (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
