Hey Get This The Tory Leader Force To Give An Apology(Read All About In Full:))

David Cameron apologised today after using bad language during a live radio interview.

The Tory leader slipped out the word 't***' as he explained why he did not use the Twitter social networking service.

He then risked making the situation worse by stating that the public was 'p*****' off' with politicians.

Mr Cameron quickly added: 'Sorry, I can't say that in the morning.'

He made the comments during an interview with Absolute Radio about quirky details of his life and character.

Slip-up: David Cameron said 't***' during a radio interview

Asked whether he used Twitter, Mr Cameron said: 'The trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it - too many twits might make a t***.'

The remark was greeted with laughter in the studio, with host Christian O'Connell saying: 'That's fantastic.'

Shortly afterwards, the Tory leader was talking about how focused he was on the forthcoming general election, and the effects of the expenses scandal.

He said: 'The public are rightly, I think, p****** off - sorry I can't say that in the morning - angry with politicians.'

Aides stressed that Mr Cameron had apologised immediately for the latter slip, and pointed out that 't***' was not defined as a swear word under radio guidelines.

The interview is part of a fresh bid by the Tories to appeal to younger voters and destroy the view the party is one for the older generation.

Mr Cameron famously said in a radio interview three years ago that 'lots of people call me Dave' - creating a moniker that has stayed with him.

Today, he revealed he still asked himself whether he was the right person to become Prime Minister and lead the country.

'Of course you think all the time about "am I going to be able to take those really big decisions, take that responsibility, suffer the consequences when things go wrong, take difficult decision that could involve sending people into harm's way?", he said.

'I did think about that, though, before standing for the leadership of the Conservative Party, because I always thought there was a good chance of winning that.

'I thought very carefully "am I able to make those decisions, am I tough enough, am I strong enough to do it?".

'And I thought "yes I want to do this, I can do this and I am going to give it my best shot".'

Dont Trust The Tories as They Are Plotting To Raise VAT To 20 Per cent

Holy tax increases! Here's a right pair of caped raiders.

Led by greedy Vatman David Cameron and his Robbin' sidekick George Osborne, the Tories are secretly plotting to raise VAT to 20%.

The move is revealed in a leaked letter sent to business bosses that sets out the party's agenda.
It says a 5% rise in VAT is "very likely" if the Tories get into power. In the letter, the head of Conservative Intelligence Tim Montgomerie says that shadow chancellor George Osborne will slash public spending in an attempt to cut government borrowing.

It refers to Tory plans to close the budget deficit as being built on 80% spending cuts and 20% revenue rises.

The letter says: "An increase in VAT to 20% seems very likely, but VAT is a regressive tax that falls most heavily on poorer people."
Labour took VAT from 17.5% to 15% in December to boost the economy. But the cut expires in January 2010.

Mr Montgomerie also discloses that senior Tories are at war over tax rises for business, while private Tory polling says voters are opposed to tax rises on low income families. "Ken Clarke is proving to be an important ally for business within the shadow cabinet," the letter reads.

"He is leading the resistance to any increase in general business taxation."

It is the second time the leaked letter has embarrassed the Tories.

Last week the Mirror revealed David Cameron was secretly looking at making NHS patients pay for meals and maybe even to stay in hospital.

Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson said: "If David Cameron has a secret tax plan he should be honest about it."

A poll yesterday showed the Tories had an 18-point lead over Labour.

The ComRes survey for the Independent puts them on 42%, Labour 24% and the Lib Dems on 16%. Repeated at a General Election it would hand David Cameron a 150-seat majority.
