Cameron could be a Binmore's Sufferer: May God Help Us if He Is Because Things Will Get Much Worse

Does P.M David Cameron possibly have Binmore’s Syndrome?

The following text from a paper from MIT in the USA explains Professor Binmore's work and serves well as an introduction to this rare but socially troubling condition:

“…we identified three principles (action, contact, intention), all capturing non-consequential distinctions to which people are sensitive when making moral judgments. These principles are therefore operative in guiding moral judgment, as evidenced by subjects’ patterns of judgments. Importantly, these principles were not all equivalently expressed in subjects’ justifications of their judgments. The intention principle rarely emerged, while the action and contact principles emerged in the majority of subjects’ justifications; further, when subjects noted the contact principle, they also frequently denied that it should carry any moral weight, a comment that rarely merged for the action principle. We can infer from these results that the intention principle is operative but results in intuitive judgments, whereas the action and contact principles are also operative but appear to be accessible for use in conscious reasoning as evidenced by their emergence in justifications.”

In other words, PM David Cameron may have intended to be unjust when he made his famously unjust family allowance policy but was unable to justify why. Ironically then his purposive policy making is informed by his intuition. And Cameron’s intuition is likely to be based in no small part on his upper-class upbringing and subsequent membership of the moronic hooray-Henry Bullingdon club. As his brain scan shows, the toffee nosed matters matter grey matter of his brain has developed to the detriment of his justice and fairness centers. Consequently, our poor Prime Minister - while a high functioning member of society - is the type of person who is prone to make knee-jerk decisions intentionally but – being based on mere intuition -irrationally. Some researcher's believe that Binmore's sufferers are likely to be born into wealthy families - or else taller than average - and that explains their otherwise hard-to-fathom rise to key positions. It may also explain why the economy of Europe and the USA is in such a mess and why so many people who attain top positions throughout society are well below average in the abilities to do the job but way above average in their abilities to get such jobs.

The latest research coming from the Human Genome Project reveals that Bimore's (Bin-more) is an hereditary disorder. Furthermore, all sufferers have an ancestral link with with the Camron family who were Normans who served William the Conqueror. But links go back further to those with Viking genes. Many Russians have been found to have the syndrome and speculation remains regarding William Shakespeare's immortal line about their being something rotten in the state of Denmark. This may have been a reference to high number of sufferers in Scandinavian countries several hundred years ago. Emigration patterns have since ensured that Scandinavia is no longer a hot spot for these tyrants.

As with other empathy spectrum disorders, such as Aspergers Syndrome, Binmore’s sufferers are often high functioning members of society. But their condition can cause problems for others. In particular, those diagnosed with Binmore’s are advised to steer clear of professions in the judiciary, military, police and teaching. Occupations in which Binmore’s sufferers excel are: tyrant, dictator, torturer, jailer, executioner, upper-class hooray-Henry playboy, football hooligan, mafia boss, gold-digging suitor, pornographer, politician and confidence trickster.

Famous Bin-more syndrome sufferers are likely to have included: Saddam Hussain, Adolph Hitler, Stalin, Countess Elizabeth Bathory, Tony Blair, Vlad the Impaler, Gordon Brown and Margaret Thatcher.
