Cameron’s campaign slated by an EU leader

0 David Cameron said ‘I’m in’ but the majority said ‘we’re out’ David Cameron ran a “s**t” referendum campaign for Britain to remain in the European Union, Germany’s European commissioner has said.

Gunther Oettinger said of the Brexit vote that “s**t happens”, as he gave his withering assessment of the former prime minister’s efforts to keep the UK in the EU.

Mr Cameron resigned following the referendum amid criticism for pushing a “project fear” message about the economic risks of Brexit.

Mr Oettinger, the digital commissioner, told the European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association on Tuesday: “We have to accept the democratic decision and the s**t campaign of Cameron.”

He also suggested that the UK could still play a part in the EU’S digital strategy after leaving the union.
