Our former PM and his £25,000 shepherd hut in the age of austerity

[Puggsville]

He had the salmon faced cheek to introduce the Bedroom Tax and disability cuts. Then he wimps out of office and splashes out £25,000 (minus any discount he might have received for publicising it in the papers) for a shepherd's hut in which he can churn out his memoirs about how he imposed austerity on the rest of us.

Surely he has a spare room in his Chipping Norton mansion in which he could plonk away on his laptop.

He's just a rich boy who fancied becoming PM, and threw the towel in as soon as the going got tough. So much for the 'character' that public schools pride themselves in imbuing.

this make me fucking sick

He's an arsehole.

I quite like them, and we go on days out to Burford Garden Centre to look at them

sorry for missing the point!

History (and mumsnet) will not judge him well. He's caused a shitstorm.

Also that shepherds hit looks very dark and most unsuitable for writing in.

The hut, not the Camerons, obvs.

Did you see the artist taxi driver video today? Apparently the Camerons were interviewed for a magazine with glossy pictures of their home and they have a sign up saying 'calm down dear, it's only a recession'. Champion piss takers.

Lazy, smug git. Hate him.

However, presumably buying this means some money has entered the economy (and VAT paid) rather than being in a bank account. kept a business going, kept someone employed etc.

(Or if bought overseas has had incoming duty paid or something.)

He is responsible for Brexit. I hate him

Kinder it's clearly a mastabatorium. No actual writing goes on in man sheds 😆

Brexit was his vanity project which has left us all on tender hooks with a recession looming, but he's ok so let's not worry 🐷🐷

He and SamCam have a sign up in their kitchen saying "Recession? What recession?"

Oh how I laughed. They deserve each other, the pair of tossers.

Seriously?

There's plenty of outrageous spending talked about on MN everyday- holidays for £10k.

He's bought a permanent garden house basically its just on wheels.

He had to impose austerity cos Labour has spent all the bloody money and sold all our fucking reserves.

Austerity for all the idiots spending more than they were earning.

Can't fucking stand him. SamCam can get in the bin as well, even more since I saw her being interviewed in a glossy mag today and apparently their house has a "Calm down dear, it's only a recession!" sign. Twats.

It's amazing how democracy only suits some people when they get what suits them. The Camerons were independently wealthy before he was Prime Minister. Is he supposed to wear a hair shirt and hide under a rock for the rest of his life?

Oh come on. He is not responsible for Brexit alone. Yes the referendum was a poor gamble and he was responsible for that.
But the 50%+ of the electorate who voted leave are also responsible for Brexit.
The Labour party / JC for not getting out the remain message to their voters are also responsible. (Where was the labour party during the referendum?)

BeepBeepMOVE

Yeah, didn't happen though did it?

Labour didn't overspend - every economist worth their salt knows that. Labour also didn't cause a subprime mortgage crisis in the US that had global repercussions. Economists will also tell you Gordon Brown's stimulus package would've turned around our finances quicker than the austerity shit the Tories forced on us. But you keep drinking the kool aid!

Really cannot stand this man!

Correction! The sign actually reads: Calm down dear it's only a recession

Twat

cos Labour has spent all the bloody money and sold all our fucking reserves

Lol

That is a twatty sign to have. I thought SamCam was better than that.

No, but when his government told disabled people they are scroungers, and that they were taking £30 a week off them, you'd expect he might just think about the optics of pulling a stunt like this.
