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

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.

The £25k hut is nothing compared to murderer Tony Blair's multi, multi million pound property empire.

And he has blood on his hands.

I want start because I won't stop.

X posts with silkybear about that kitchen sign!

Yes, I'm sure Dave and Sam splashed out £25,000 to do their bit for the economy. Never mind the poor buggers who are living in poverty thanks to his government's cuts.

A shepherds hut ffs.

Rich man and rich wife buy expensive garden shed. Meh. Don't work myself up into a tizzy worrying about how other people spend their money. Up to them.

I like Sam Cam and the kids. Cameron had his faults but on the whole did a decent job.

I mean, apart from the million kids he put into poverty, the thousands of disabled people who died due to benefit cuts or sanctions, his demonisation of migrants, benefits claimants, disabled people etc.

Libya, anyone? All PMs like their little foreign adventures.

SuburbanRhonda · 04/08/2017 21:43

It gets worse - this is their living room, complete with £256 rattan log basket and "sooty chic" black marks around the fireplace.

Wankers.

This was in April, why bring it up now?

Why shouldn't someone spend £10k on a holiday if they can afford it?

What is outrageous to you is not to others.

Is that a burry of Dave on the wall?!

I knew we'd get all that 'Labour Overspent' shite too. Osborne pledged to match Labour pound for pound while he was in opposition.

It looks like it's got a Ken doll crotch so it could be.

He's got lots of money. [shrugs]

roarityroar · 04/08/2017 21:47

The bedroom tax is a good thing - it's the spare room subsidy

Cameron's money is from his wife

Envy and anger aren't healthy.

BertrandRussell · 04/08/2017 21:49

What I can't get over is the spectacular vulgarity of the Smythson notebooks.......

YABU for posting his smug pic. Not even chocolate will take off the bad taste in my mouth.

CockacidalManiac · 04/08/2017 21:49

Envy and anger aren't healthy.

The eternal cry of the privileged. Anger is a perfectly normal human emotion, and quite logical when faced with the behaviour we see from these people.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/08/2017 21:52

it's clearly a mastabatorium

SeaWitchly · 04/08/2017 21:53

He's just a rich boy who fancied becoming PM, and threw the towel in as soon as the going got tough

This ^

What a prize twat.

No one is envious of any hard earned money.people are fucked off with him for wiping nearly a trillion off markets by his stupid referendum idea. Now £ is down, even before we have come out of EU and the interest rates are going up pretty soon so I will be paying the price.
He will be remembered as the worst PM in the post world war UK history and that says something when we have had Blair!

Valentine2 · 04/08/2017 21:54

This is for you roarity.
