The right honourable David Cameron is currently on his mobile to the BBC.

On an 0870 number fo course, he is going to be on that number for at least an hour.

Do you think he will notice?

Perhaps he made a transfer charge call?
Or perhaps they immediately offered to call him back?
Or he could have used a landline, rather than the "executive car park".

0870 on a mobile! That must be costing him or someone a pretty penny?

No worries.  He's a politician.  He's not paying.

We are.

Wonder if he's on Pay-as-you-GO?  Like his policies!

The call is being funded by the Private Finance Initiative.

He given a free call now, and his mobile operator pays the bill for him, but he will have to pay back 50p per minute in total over the course of a year!!

This may seem like a large amount to pay, and well over the odds, but if he were to pay 10p per minute now, it would not look good on the conservative party balance sheet, therefore this form of deferred payment is ideal to help balance the books!!

Well, it has worked with our schools, hospitals, and road building.

Impressive, shiggaddi, straight to the heart!!

Unfortunately I'm too noble, and honest and therefore lack the necessary qualifications of a spinmeister!!

Road Building you say?  What is this strange concept you refer to?

I fear that it is the concept of closing railway lines, imposing planning blight and then not bothering to build roads - almost the worst of all worlds.  :(

Yes I agree

I fear that he will be on 02.  As an oyxgen-thief he will know that they almost-uniquely include NGNs in their inclusive minutes.

Congrats dorf on being reinstated to your former glory. ;)

Hi firestop,

Well thanks, but actually I haven't. I have about another 50 posts to go to get back there at the highest level. In fact looking on a web cache I have lost something like a count of 10 to 11 posts at my restoration! So I have an additional 10 or so to do.

And just to make it even more difficult, NGM says I must not make any fatuous posts!

Come to think of it I why should that apply only to me? There are one or two others making fatuous posts sometimes - or so it seems to me!

Hi Chick_Lunchbox,

Even if he is using O2, he will be using his free minutes up at a frightening rate I should think?
