David Cameron was visiting a Scottish Primary school......

..........and visited one of the classes.

There were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr Cameron if he would like to lead the discussion on the word “tragedy”. So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a “tragedy”

A little boy stood up and offered,” if ma best freen wha lives on a fairm is playin in a field an a tractor rins over him an kills him, that wid be a “tragedy”

“No” said Cameron, “that would be an accident”

A little girl raised her hand ” if a skale bus kerrying fufty children drove over a cliff, killin a’b'dy inside, that wid be a tragedy”

“I’m afraid not” explained Cameron “that would be a great loss”

The room was silent for a while then a little boy at the back in a quiet voice said “If a plane kerryin you and Mr Clegg was struck by a “freendly fire” missile and blawn to smithereens, that wid be a tragedy”

Fantastic” exclaimed Cameron ” thats right and can you tell me how it would be a tragedy?”

“Weel” said the little lad “it has tae be a tragedy, because it certainly wudnae be a great loss . . . . . and it probably widnae be a f******g accident either”
