When news surfaced that David Cameron had, back when he was a student at Oxford, inserted his male bits into the mouth of a dead pig you thought it couldn’t get worse for the Prime Minister.

Now as the Panama Papers scandal continues to shame world leaders his name has been thrown into the mix, Cameron now admitting that he ‘owned, sold and made a profit’ in shares held in an offshore fund.

The fund was set up by his late father, with Sky News reporting:

The Prime Minister has faced questions this week over his family’s tax affairs after details of Ian Cameron’s investment fund were reported as part of the Panama Papers leak…

Downing Street initially said his family’s tax affairs were a private matter before saying the PM had no offshore funds and trusts, and then making clear the family would not benefit in future.

In response to a question from Sky’s Faisal Islam at an event on Wednesday, the PMsaid: “I have no shares, no offshore trusts, no offshore funds, nothing like that”…

Now in his fifth statement on the matter, Mr Cameron said he and his wife sold shares worth more than £30,000 in Blairmore Holdings six years ago.

Ah yes, the classic denial until the evidence becomes overwhelming and then admission. Cameron went on to say that the press were unfairly targeting his father, and by association, him:

“I’m proud of my dad and what he did and the business he established and all the rest of it.

“I can’t bear to see his name being dragged through the mud, as you can see, and for my own, I chose to take a different path from my father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who were all stockbrokers.

“And I’ve got nothing to hide in my arrangements and I’m very happy to answer questions about it.”

That ship may have sailed David, the British public have well and truly turned on you and I don’t know if your grovelling will make much difference.

Then again I’d take a pig shagger / tax dodger ahead of our current leader any day of the week…
