“Are we really happy to say that we’d give up our independent nuclear deterrent when we don’t know what is going to happen with Iran, we can’t be certain of the future in China?”
Before forming his Government, Cameron's staggering ignorance of world affairs was perfectly demonstrated with his unqualified attack on China, a valued trading partner, which has been both the recipient and donor of UK investment. More importantly however, to compare the state of Iran with a member of the UN Security Council is a gross insult to the Chinese people and an appalling gaffe. The correct action for Mr Cameron to take should have been to apologise. However, he did not.

“We were the junior partner in 1940"
Cameron has proven that its not just his knowledge of current affairs that is poor, with his comment that the UK was in fact merely a junior partner of the United States in World War 2. This is appallingly insulting to the millions of British people who gave their lives single-handedly defending Europe from fascism. Prior to Pearl Harbour, Britain didn't have any partners at all in fighting the Nazis. In fact the US only declared war, once Japan and the Germans had in-fact declared war themselves.

Cameron's attempt to change history in order to appease recent tensions between the United States and the UK was an extremely cynical action.

“Gaza Strip is a prison camp”
Cameron's recent visit to Turkey included a meeting with Turkish PM, Mr Eridgan, in which he joined in with anti-Israeli rhetoric that Israel was behaving despicably in its treatment of the Palestinians. Indeed, the cycle of military action and terrorism must be broken, but through careful, skilled diplomacy. Not through anti zionist rhetoric from Mr Cameron.

What makes this particularly concerning, is that Mr Cameron has also attacked the unstable Pakistani Government during a recent visit to India stating that Pakistan must do more to prevent terrorism.
Mr Cameron made such comments without any consideration for the effect this would have in Pakistan and how this may be used by Pakistani Militants and Taliban supporters. He has in fact managed to alienate both the Islamic and Jewish worlds.

Not only is Cameron managing to destroy the economy, he is managing to alienate the UK from the rest of world.

No doubt, more updates will follow on Cameron's gaffes and errors in the very near future.
