David Cameron tries, and fails, to pull off a Scottish accent (VIDEO)
David Cameron is eating a large portion of humble pie after trying, and failing, to pull off a Scottish accent.
Speaking to the Scottish Conservatives (how many of them are there? 10?) in Murrayfield Stadium, the home of Scottish rugby, the Prime Minister decided to take a trip down memory lane. As Sky News puts it:
he revealed that he had been in the stadium when Scotland beat England to win the Grand Slam in 1990.
His attempt to mimic the Scots’ brogue came as he told how he and his friends had walked to a chip shop afterwards, and the owner asked them: “What’ll it be… humble pie?”.
The accent was questionable, to say the least… less Sean Connery, more Mrs Doubtfire.
What is most embarrassing about this is, we know, Mr. Cameron does almost nothing without advance preparation. There are no throw away lines with Cameron, all is well-prepared and rehearsed. This means, for the last couple of days, he has been practicing this line in front of a whichever Special Advisor happened to be in the room at the time – and he still couldn’t pull it off.
Awkward.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
