Although, of course, Cameron polled more votes (10,703,654) in 2010 than Blair did in 2005 (9,552,436) and more or less the same as Blair in 2001 (10,724,953).
If it wasn't for those pesky constituency boundaries.....

BREAKING #pompey There was an overall loss of £171,000 for the year 2013-14 after including interest on loans taken out to buy club back.
Pilot on BBC Breakfast just now confirming that the rate of decent from 38,000 feet is the rate at which they are trained to descend at when there is decompression in the cabin. Which would suggest the pilot was in control until c.6,000 feet. Still doesn't explain why there was no alarm raised during that 8 minutes though.

Edit: actually, that just looks like a rehash article of the same story a month or so ago. That'll teach me to only read the headline before posting....or maybe not...
I was basing that deduction on the FlightRadar24 data. The image shows a relatively gradual decent rather than a sudden one (the colours representing the altitude go from purple to dark-blue to light-blue over a distance of about 50 miles). Granted, that's a fairly rapid decent but its not sudden. Anyway, will leave the speculation to the media as they're very good at that.
Journos would have stoked up these "whispers" during the next term regardless of how Cameron answered the BBC's question yesterday. In fact, had he done what politicians usually do and avoid answering the question that would have given rise to even more speculation in due course. I thought you'd find it refreshing that a politician actually said what they were thinking rather than put up a smoke screen?
"Damned if they do...."
Anyway, it'll be Boris next rather than May so fret ye not
Stop asking me difficult questions. I just post random stuff that looks vaguely interesting. I'm not intellectual enough to come up with original and insightful thoughts of my own.
