11. Common British term for someone who is both stupid and unlikeable.
I just checked the etiology, and apparently it comes from 'pillicock' - an old Scandinavian word for penis. So basically it's a slightly subtler way of calling someone a prick.

5. They employ Murdoch news anchors as their spokespeeps?
Or they use his news peeps as their own private intel ops?

I'm spitballing here.

7. They both belong to right-wing parties; are rich and entitled; and have colleagues and advisors even
worse than themselves.

Plus both tend to be on holiday when anything is going wrong at home.

Another similarity is that both got power without anything like a 'mandate' from the people. Guess what proportion of the British voters DIDN'T vote for Cameron? - answer: 64%! Our leaders don't need to steal elections; the electoral system here steals it for them.

OTOH, Cameron is less of a 'decider', is less stupid (though he is quite stupid!), and is not as right-wing on social issues - though his views on economic issues are scarily right-wing.
