Spot the differenceIn these days of supposed post-ideology, end-of-history, post-modernism and other such jibberish nihilistically contemporary sounding phrases, it is perhaps not surprisingly that David Cameron, leader of the UK conservative party and vlogger-extraordinaire, doesn't know his left from his right. But last week the possibility came to light that it wasn't just politically speaking that he was directionally challenged by.

The BBC, as ever sticking rigidly to its charter to sustain citizenship, promote education and stimulate cultural excellence reported last week at length the hair-raising news that Davey-boy had change the alignment...having now started to part his hair on the left as opposed to the right. Shock!

Cameron is of course the first Tory leader in quite some time to have a decent amount of hair, fact that some allege may have explained their phenomenal failure to get elected in the past. Whilst the rest of the political world reels in shock and tries to fathom the way forward for the country following this change of line, the BBC kindly analyses the psychological reasoning behind this most unexpected and key decision.

Says Daily Mail writer Quentin Letts:

Cameron seems to be changing direction - which is of course a very good metaphor for what he's doing with his party.

A spokesman for Cameron emphatically denied this, saying that there was "no political significance" in the change of hair-combing.

The article goes on to reveal that the disturbingly-popular Sun newspaper suggested it showed his courage to change thing. The Mirror psycho-analysed further suggesting that it was an attempt by David to look "butch", claiming that a right parting is seen as feminine.

Not by all it seems - hairdressing professional Roger Craig spoke on Radio 4's deeply hard-hitting and intellectual "Today" show saying that really he was "always led to believe that real men put their partings on the right hand side", and claiming that Cameron was quite clearly making a metrosexual statement.

Some thought it was just an attempt to hide a bald spot - again, fervently denied by his spokesperson.

Clearly such a vital issue needed further investigative reporting. Sure enough, the next day the BBC reported that David's office had broken down under all the hot political pressure and revealed (what they claim was) the real reason. Apparently David had popped to the hairdressers himself and, appreciating his expertise, Cameron took his barber's advice that the parting was on "the wrong side" whatever that means. They go on at length that it cost him a mere £10 - after all he's just one of us after all.

As yet, unlike with the shocking case of Gerhard Schroeder's hair-dye allegations, no legal action has been taken by David.
