In a moment of candid detail, he revealed how this accomplished piece of statesmanship came to fruition.</p> <p>"There was a break during the negotiations in Brussels last week", he said, "and I nipped out to the balcony for a quick cigar." "Standing there alone while all the other leaders met with their diplomats and advisors, it suddenly dawned on me that here was a chance to make a statement about British values." He continued as his eyes watered with pride, "So after everyone else was seated and waiting for me, I sauntered back in and played the British veto". "You should have seen their faces, especially those of my own diplomats and advisors."</p> <p>Mr Cameron has long admired Captain Scott and read all his diaries covering his battle against the elements. He is understood to be particularly moved by the diary entry where faced with dire shortages, and in order to survive, he was forced to eat his favourite husky, Clegg. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35982#post-101103 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:42:17 +0000 FlashArry 101103@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The second paragraph is worth 5 stars of anyones <strike>veto</strike> vote</p> <p>Comedy cold all the way </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35982#post-101057 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 23:13:59 +0000 DorsetBoy 101057@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>British PM David Cameron today marked the 100th anniversary of the defeat of Captain Robert Scott in his quest to reach the South Pole, after being beaten by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.</p> <p>Speaking at the South Pole after the earlier departure of the triumphant Norwegian PM, Mr Cameron said he had previously decided to commemorate Scott's defeat by a similar ill-planned and ultimately doomed gesture of futility that would result in isolation and a slow, lingering death unnoticed by the rest of the world.</p> <p>"There was a break during the negotiations at the EU Summit last week", he said, "and I nipped out to the balcony for a quick cigar."
