Girls Aloud dismiss 'cool' Cameron

Girls Aloud have given Tory leader David Cameron the thumbs down.
Band member Cheryl Tweedy said Cameron should stop pretending to be "cool" and concentrate on policies.
Earlier this year, he claimed Cheryl was the most fanciable one in Girls Aloud.
But she told the New Statesman: "Politicians know we get listened to by more young fans than they do. That's why David Cameron said he fancied me. He was just trying to be cool. I bet he couldn't name a single song of ours. Do I fancy him? No! Politicians should stop trying to be cool and get on with running the country.
Cheryl also dished out some advice to Britain's political parties on how to make themselves more appealing to young voters.
"There should be adverts in the breaks during Coronation Street spelling it out in bullet points: This is what the Conservatives stand for. This is what Labour stands for.
"You know that basically Labour is the working class and the Conservatives are the really kind of upper class, and then everything else is... I have no idea," she explained.
But Cheryl is no fan of Prime Minister Tony Blair.
"We are too young to really remember the excitement of Labour getting into power. All we know is what's happening now, which is that Blair equals George Bush and the war in Iraq," she said.
Girls Aloud are not the first band to go political. The Spice Girls famously declared their support for Margaret Thatcher during an interview with The Spectator in 1996.

I wonder if Mrs. Ashley Cole has ever considered a career in comedy, as she does have the same talent as I for offending everyone (not that this is always a bad thing, because it makes for some great comic relief).
