Clarke Challenges Cameron on Nothing
In an interview with The Times, Charles Clarke has launched a scathing attack on David Cameron, claiming that the new leader of the Tories knows ‘nothing about nothing’. In turn, Mr. Cameron has accused Mr. Clarke of knowing ‘even less about nothing than nothing’.
Speaking in the House of Commons later in the day, Clarke took up the issue once again, this time claiming that the Leader of the Opposition ‘knows so much less than nothing that he’s more ignorant than somebody who thinks they know nothing but in fact isn’t even sure about that’. Added Clarke: ‘If nothing was known about the Tories, that would be too much information. I’m sure a few of us on this side of the House wished we knew nothing.’
‘And so you do!’ was Cameron’s reply, quick as a flash. ‘The Home Secretary knows nothing and nothing is what he knows. And what’s more, it’s the same old adversarial politics we’ve all come to know!’
‘I don’t know that,’ said Clarke.
‘Precisely,’ replied Cameron, thus bringing to a close this latest example of the high level of debate we enjoy in one of the most eloquent parliamentary systems in the world.
