Why does David Cameron...

I wonder if he reads 'em.

it's a very nice picture Quite harmless.

Hmm, Samantha doing a Diana pose there!

do you think it's really him doing the tweeting?

It's pathetic. All tweeting is, but especially by MPs.

I think it's bizarre, tbh, that the Prime Minister should be tweeting at all. On Digital Spy, they call it something much ruder than tweeting!

I think Twitter is very interesting. Nothing wrong with MPs - or anyone - tweeting.

If Cameron's got time to tweet, he's not doing his job properly.

I don't suppose he's doing the tweeting himself, but if he hasn't got time to tweet he's not doing his job properly because he isn't giving himself time to relax or to think. N.B. I am not commenting in the quality of his thinklng, or any other politician's.

I don't "get" tweeting, I suspect I'm too old to appreciate it.

With you there Iam

Gerry Adams recently did an 'ask me a question' Twitter session. He seems to now think that people see him as an upstanding member of society. Some of the questions were hilarious. He was obviously expecting questions about his life now but got questions like 'what wool would you recommend to knit a balaclava?' Just made me

I agree grumppa there is some intern in a shoe cupboard doing the tweeting because you are supposed to tweet are't you.

It's now considered cool to not tweet. Or have a Facebook account.
Probably because so many now do.

Ok. So why does the "intern in the shoe cupboard" keep doing it? Doesn't he get worried that DC might grab a fleeting moment in his oh-so-crowded 24 hours to take a quick look at the replies?

I do have a Twitter account but have never managed to catch on to how to use it. I think DS1 (always in the forefront of technology!) put me on to it in the first place.

I hope that Sam Cam won't say Soutra's rather funny baby rhyme 'Chinese, Japanese, Chubby knees! to Mr.Li.
I don't think the Camerons will worry about what weird things people are tweeting.Presumably they have more important things to do [one hopes so.]

He does it to appear young and part of The Big Society, you know, that big happy family we all belong to just as long as we haven't fallen on hard times and don't need the NHS or a food bank or the wherewithall to pay the gas bill.

I think I go with your reasoning apricot

Don't you think it's a bit unfair to blame him for all of it?

It is a fact that people in the public eye, and lots of those so called famous folk have someone who tweets for them.
One of my sons thought it might be fun to tweet for some "celeb" in USA but he didn't get the job!!!

So what's the point, if it's not really them tweeting? And what's the point of replying? I really don't get it...

Neither do I Ana but apparently everyone in the public eye seems to need one. All nonsense I think!

What purpose is served by repeatimg these here? If I wanted to read 'tweets " I would go on Twitter. I don't so I don't.

KatyK. Just picking up where I left off over a year ago. So, a bit slow with your 18 June post. At times like those re the knitted balaclava, I wish I was a "tweeter". Forces humour is great at the best of times, but when the Pilgrim's are on form you never know what to expect. Do you think we should start a post "What did the Queen say to Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams" when they stood at the Iron Throne? Or, what did they say to HM? Perhaps best left to the Pilgrims to tweet.
