David Cameron has yet again showed himself to be better suited to a Public School Common Room than as a representative of the United Kingdom if his recent behaviour in the House of Commons is anything to go by.
I agree with his comments that Ed Balls should not continually talk and should listen and that he is very off putting and rude, but to compare him to someone with Tourette's is frankly short sighted and arrogant.
Tourette's is an evil illness that those that suffer from it have been fighting for understanding for a long time. It is only in recent years that the majority of the population have come to hear of it and have sympathy for it mainly thanks to its' being highlighted in Drama and the News and so these sufferers have started to see less ridicule and hence less bullying.
David Cameron has turned back the time to when the mentally or physically afflicted can be the butt of jokes and can be used for our amusement and for this I am thoroughly ashamed and do not think he is fit to represent the Country, myself included, on the world stage.
Who will he disrespect next? Will we hear him imitating the deaf? Adopting the gait of a cripple? Using insulting language?
David go back to the playground where hopefully you will feel what it is like to be bullied only in your case it won't be for something you can't help but for who you have become!
