David Who?

During his recent interview with Michael Parkinson, David Cameron told the story of his chat with Kate Moss.

Cameron said he was lost for words as he approached her, so started waffling on about flooding. If only he'd asked me, I could have given him some opening conversational gambits such as: 'Finally dumped the junkie boyfriend then?' or 'Given up cocaine yet?' or even 'What do you actually do?'

I'm not sure who comes out worse from this tale; Cameron with his Blair-like desperation to be 'cool', or Moss demonstrating a lack of awareness of the 'wider world'.

One thing is for certain though; I don't want my Prime Minister to behave like some tongue-tied sycophantic teenager, but rather to act statesman-like with authority and gravitas.
