David Cameron - The Bald Truth
Did you watch PMQs today? Were you thinking what I was thinking about the Tories?No, not how badly Boris would be if he was also made Lord Mayor of London - but rather how bizarre David Cameron's hair is beginning to look.
For some months now it has seemed like the oh-so-media-savvy Cameron has struggled to find an a style that covers up the fact he has a seriously receding hair-line. Today he went for the rather odd Count Duckula style centre-parting, which I have to say was the least successful attempt at covering his growing bald tendencies for quite some time.
And do you know what, I think it really bugs Cameron - so why not highlight it here. ;-)
For he must know as well as the next man that it is very rare for a bald person to become Prime Minister. Just look at Michael Howard, IDS, William Hague and Neil Kinnock - losers one and all. I am sure someone will tell me who the last bald/balding PM was, but only a couple jump straight off the top of my head (no pun intended) - Winston Churchill and Clem Attlee.
And whilst I have said before how our expression-less, policy-less Tory leader reminds me of Odo the Shapeshifter from Deep Space Nine - I've now realised who Cameron would look like if he lost all his hair:
Kryten the expression-less, policy-less droid from Red Dwarf.
Maybe this (bald) spot of bother isn't Labour's best hope of keeping Cameron out of Number 10, I can think of a fair few other reasons that will be looked at first, but it's still an interesting observation to consider.

lovely stuff. Got any views on how either of them did politically at PMQs?
Well said Anon, Mr Cross has an overly selective memory when it comes to any of the important issues in politics; such as the decline of the tragic Labour party, the plight of the PM, etc. etc.
Instead he chooses to blog about minor trivialities that he thinks make him look funny - instead of relatively accurate, informative, or thought provoking.
Notice how the site went very silent over Donorgate, Cash for Honours and poor old Peter Hain - but then went to town over Derek Conway.
Watch how you've heard no positive (or even significant) contribution on here about the 10p tax rate, VED, or the 42 day question but cue another tiresome hack at the political opposition by picking up the baton on issues surrounding Tory MEPs expenses (they’re all up to no good, this is nothing new) and Nick Clegg’s appearances at PMQs.
Of course we’re bound to get the usual excuses about how otherwise busy he was at convenient moments, and how he’s alluded to real politik in his dull blog entries, but I think all you can derive form this excuse of a site is that it amounts to very little of reason.
You may ask why I bother to visit this site given my opinions – I do so to restore my faith in the political blogs that matter to politicos such as myself, to be able to separate purposeful web entries to dead beat excuses. Much like the flunking political prospects of Kerron Cross, I think you can happily conclude that this site is all but dead – just look at how few meaningful comments are made on each thread. Pathetic.
