DAVID CAMERON SHOOTS BORIS DEAD!
Horror at gun bloodbath
COLD-EYED David Cameron shot Boris Johnson dead, then turned the gun on Michael Gove and shot him, too!
But the bungling former PM has not gunned down the new Prime Minister and his Cabinet colleague – he’s been shooting stags.
It emerged yesterday that Cameron – whose “referendum” wheeze has reduced the country to mayhem – had named stags on his father-in-law’s Scottish estate after his deadly rivals. And then shot them! The former prime minister was taking part in an organised hunt on Jura last month when he named the slain deer after his eventual successor in Downing Street, Boris Johnson.
Cameron’s father-in-law, Viscount Astor, owns the 20,000-acre Tarbert estate on the Hebridean isle.
The ex-Tory leader is a keen deerstalker on the estate, which has been owned by the Astors for almost a century.
Rough
Writing in The Times, columnist Alex Massie said: “Life after politics has its consolations even for David Cameron, who dearly misses the rough and tumble of his years in office.
“Some pastimes that were sacrificed for optical (which is to say political) expediency may be resumed.
“Thus last month, on the Isle of Jura, Cameron shot a stag and named him Boris. This was the sequel to a stalking expedition last summer during which a similarly stricken deer was given the name Gove.”
With the wild deer population on Jura standing at around 5,000, the island is a popular destination for hunters.
Mr Cameron has been busy the past week promoting his long-awaited political memoir.
In an interview with ITV News , the former Tory MP was asked if he thought the current Prime Minister was right to prorogue Parliament for five weeks.
Mr Cameron replied: “I don’t. We’ll wait for what the courts say. I don’t think it was illegal.
“It looked to me, from the outside, like rather harp practice of trying to restrict the debate. “I also thought it was actually from his point of view probably counterproductive. “In the end, we have to work through Parliament, and you c a n ’ t deny the arithmetic of Parliament and the majorities that there are in Parliament.”
Crushed
In the interview, Mr Cameron also claimed that Mr Johnson believed Brexit would be “crushed like a toad under the harrow” before he joined the Vote Leave team during the 2016 referendum.
