THE prime minister has likened the UK to Thomas the Tank Engine, who is alway the direct cause of disaster.
The blue E2 Class locomotive roams the Isle of Sodor causing crashes, landslides and riots with imbecilic misapprehensions and an inability to keep his mouth shut.
Cameron said: “Thomas only wants to be a really useful engine, but his blundering efforts always end with something going off a precipice, very much like this sceptered isle.
“Our attempts to do the right thing in Iraq are just like when Thomas charged through the tunnel from Misty Island, getting himself and three native engines who said not to, trapped and in great danger.
“Though Day of the Diesels is more about US segregation and the civil rights movement. Diesel 10 is Malcolm X.”
Cameron admitted he was the model for arrogant posh express train Spencer as a 12-year-old boy in 2003 before likening Alex Salmond to Emily the steam engine and Nick Clegg to Toby the Tram.
