Dave's photographer - the £ 35,000 per year publicly funded personal photographer

[LadyBlaBlah]

How vain is this man?

Shame he is an ugly man, on many levels.

How many times did Gordon Brown and other members of the Cabinet use the £250 a go freelancer?

I disagree entirely with the photographer - it's a waste of money.

Though Labour's hypocrisy is quite breathtaking.

I thought it was just about bearable when the photographer was being paid by the tories. But now to hear both photographer and film-maker are being paid from the public purse... Unbelievable. David Cameron is vain and pompous. I wish he'd just go away.

It should fall to the Tory party to pay for an official photographer. Having said that, am willing to bet a tenner that the next incumbent at No.10 maintains the role.... :)

Let's not forget the huge sums paid out of the public purse for Cherie Blair's hairdresser

I don't give a monkeys about the photographer itself - but I work in the public sector and we are completely forbidden from recruiting from outside the civil service at the moment so we have large numbers of unfilled posts making it very difficult to do our jobs properly.

But Dave gets to completely ignore the rules and not only recruit but also create a whole new post?

I find it extremely unlikely that he checked whether any photographers in the civil service were at risk of redundancy and interviewed those first, according to the rules, did he?

I quite like David Cameron, but to employ a photographer at the taxpayers expense is not moral.

Longfingernails. I agree the other parties have carried out similar nonsense, but this does not make this right, or excusable.

Ladyblabla. I don't agree he's ugly, he's quite nice close up! (well I thought so!).

Power is an aphrodisiac complimentary.

I can assure you if he worked at the local forecourt you wouldn't look twice

Ladyblabla. You may have a point about Cameron and the forecourt. Didn't Clintons wife say about one of her boyfreinds working in a forecourt? Clinton replied "see you could have married him!" and she replies "yes, but then he would have been President!". Behind every great woman etc.......
