Cameron to Brown: Bring on the election, we have nothing to fear

Conservative leader David Cameron today called on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to "stop dithering" and call an election as soon as possible. Mr Cameron, who was speaking on Blackpool beach, was asked if he was ready for an election and responded with a confident "You bet!" before folding his clothes into a neat pile on the sand, wading into the water and swimming far, far out to sea. Supporters watched and waited until the Tory leader's tiny bobbing head dipped below the furthest, silent wave.
