I AM sorry Michael Dowsett (ViewPoints, June 21) finds my comments about David Cameron “deeply unpleasant”, but I fear Mr Dowsett is regarding the Prime Minister through rose- tinted spectacles.

Unfortunately, David Cameron has a track record of making superficial gestures that appear to be at odds with the established ethos of the Conservative Party.

The gay marriage fiasco is merely the most recent example of a trend that has become apparent over the last 20 years among leading politicians in all parties, in which they often give the impression of preferring style over substance.
