The tories are so desperate to win anything.
How much wrongdoing is one political party capable of? Too much I think is the correct answer, when referring to the Cons party anyway
The apple never falls far from the tree
He would say that… Cameron should be in prison….check out what he got up to with his former employer and tax oayers money…hirrible little man.
Slippery Dave still ducking and diving I see?
dodgy dave the Bullingdon boy $cam man from HSBC, did ‘The Pilgrims Society’ send him ?
What the betting Cameron doing the same.
No he's a criminal
When did we get a vote on bringing back dodge David
Has dodgy dave been in panama counting his uk tax free money. Go back under your rock.😅😅😅
David Cameron big loss in brexit referendum is the most foolish scandle in British history.
The Tories should have just sacked him, but there again they supported the liar that is Boris Johnson, appointed Liz Truss as there leader, who beat Sunak so guess thats not going to happen. There are people being sacked in the workplace for less.
NO foolish is running away from your political f. …. ups crying running away and you pop up just now ?????? YOU DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE'S FEELINGS OUTSIDE OF LONDON …
No, he wasn't foolish, he was guilty.
It’s scary listening to this snippet of a conversation, I realised that Cameron was actually one of the better Prime Ministers we’ve had in recent times. 😮
That foolish aide must be sacked immediately and prosecuted.
Says the guy that bet on the British public voting remain on a Referendum. How did that go again?
How on earth,has Cameron, Osborne,and smithy Duncan,been able to avoid going to prison, for so long,??? after the unbelievable amount of misery they caused so many many people??? what does he do,???yes yes stiff upper lip, soldier on,as if none of it ever happened,ammm, yes yes
this fool still in the eye
The only thing Cameron will think is foolish, is that the aide did it in such a way as to get found out.
A vote for the conservatives is a vote for a labour government now.
No corruption.
oink oink
Fits right in with the rest of his party then…
"Foolish" – a new word, used by smug millionaire Tories, to mean "BLATANTLY CROOKED"!
Boris, Sunak, Cameron, Farage, Starmer, all contenders for Britain got criminals show.
Ah the gurdian newspaper? who has a reporter that appears to support a terrorist organisation. Are the twin owners still facing criminal charges or have they passed brown envelopes to the home office civil serpants big enough? It seems that it is acceptable to make accusations without having to show any evedence in our new open world.
Foolish for sure, and we are out of patience with any misdeed from tories, the very same tories who will pounce on every possible/yet unproven misdeed by others People in glass houses etc.
Foolish is the stock Tory phrase for being caught with your snout in the trough .. the Cameron creep knows only too well this event is law breaking but the usual old boys cover up slips into place .. all those years of fiddling with each other at public school comes back every time to trump honesty 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Foolish, he broke the law and should be treated as such, match fixing and insider trading are both crimes as is this.
Capitalism means WEF, presumably….?
He wasnt foolish,he committed a criminal action……
Sunak still has time to invade Argentine
Funny how he gets investigated over a 500 pounds win but yet Michelle mone made millions from ppe scandal?
foolish? erm it was actually criminal..
its illegal under betting laws so a prosecution should be forthcoming.??
Foolish? Corrupt more like,like all the Tories.
The Tories are the party of insider trading and financial expoitation (pharma and armaments shares/stocks, claiming expenses for buildings they rarely live in, second jobs within businesses, etc) so it's hardly a surprise that the lowly within their admin are shysters.
Vile cameron who destroyed uk with brexit
