David Cameron is not wasting any time after Gordon Brown's general election announcement, beginning his campaign with an appeal to "the great ignored".Well, the great ignored from my perspective are the people of England, they have to put up with a Parliament that allows MP's from other countries voting in legislation that affects them yet not their own constituents as they have their own parliaments with devolved powers that UK MP's can't affect. It's why the English have been saddled with university top up fees and trust hospitals where the majority of English MP's voted against them yet because of MP's from other nations voted on the party lines, we ended up with them anyway, something I'll find it hard to ever forgive Labour for.
The Conservative leader visited the Midlands and then the north of England on the first day of the month-long campaign.
He said that "young, old, rich, poor, black, white" are the people the Tories will be targeting in the 30 days to come, as prime minister Gordon Brown met with the Queen in Buckingham Palace to ask for the dissolution of parliament.
"They're good, decent people - they're the people of Britain and they just want a reason to believe that anything is still possible in our country," Mr Cameron told a crowd across the River Thames from Westminster.
"This election is about giving them that reason, giving them that hope."
Earlier this morning the Tory leader began his day with a jog. He told reporters outside his home he was "getting fit" for the general election and that it was "about time" for the race to begin.
The Great Ignored want an English Parliament, to stop the above happening.
The Great Ignored also wanted a referendum on Lisbon, we were ignored and Cast Iron Dave turned his back on us over that too.
The Great Ignored also want out of the EU, though we're being ignored by all major parties on that.
The Great Ignored are also sick of high taxation and didn't need to hear a promise from the Tories that they would match Labour spending.
The Great Ignored are sick and tired of the spying database state hitting them left right and centre with fines for not recycling properly, picking someone up in a car and having your license plate photographed and billed. They are uneasy about ID cards mostly because no government yet has kept our data safe.
The Great Ignored are sick and tired of government and non government agencies telling us how to live our lives, how much we should drink, how we shouldn't smoke, do this, don't do that, I suspect the Great Ignored would just like to be ignored when it comes to that sort of statist interference.
The Great Ignored are highly sceptical about
The Great Ignored want to see their kids educated, not indoctrinated, they want them to be taught reading, writing and maths as well as science and history. They don't see the point of gender equality lessons or citizenship classes, kids can do that in their own time if they want. They also want discipline in schools, where teachers teach and woe betide any kid who bad mouths a teacher.
The Great Ignored want the police to police, not meet targets, not tick boxes for political correctness.
The Great Ignored want their views on immigration taken into account, at the moment they see it as colonialism from those who want to change us into something we are not, rather than the immigrants adapt to us.
The Great Ignored want honest politicians, not those who break promises.
The Great Ignored don't like cheats and thieves who tell us "it was allowed in the rules"
The Great Ignored want their country back from the likes of you Dave and Gordon and Lib Dem guy as well as well as all the other corrupt, mendacious, twisted righteous followers you and your political classes have gathered to yourself in the mistaken belief that you know what's best the for the Great Ignored.

I'm going to ignore you.
Your pal Dave
Great post, QM, especially this:
"The Great Ignored are sick and tired of government and non government agencies telling us how to live our lives, how much we should drink, how we shouldn't smoke, do this, don't do that, I suspect the Great Ignored would just like to be ignored when it comes to that sort of statist interference."
Cameron's ignored are the ones he and his party don't ignore at all.
It'll be nice to ignore those that have ignored me for years.
Vote Conservative - Fuck off
Vote Labour - Fuck off
Vote lib dem - Fuck off
Vote English Democrats - Makes sense.
You're a 100% correct and taht's from a Scot. The SNP MPs don't vote on purely English affairs and that's the way it should be. For fuck's sake England, stand up for yourselves. Stop being wimps.
Well, the great ignored from my perspective are the people of England ...
Pawns in iDave's treason.
What a load of shit these pople talk. Do they seriously think that anyone over the age of 14 hasn't heard it all before. Over and over. The great ignored people will remain the great ignored whether you have Cameron or Cyclops.
Anyone who feels unignored at the moment should rejoice and enjoy it. It will soon be over. And they will be reignored for another 4 or 5 years.
Once they have your vote you can....erm... well you know.
