David Cameron’s aunt joined protest march against Tory cuts to children’s centres
Prime Minister David Cameron’s aunt (centre) told a protest she was against cuts to services proposed by Oxfordshire County Council [Image: Apex].
He was probably hoping she would pipe down after he magicked up a grant of more than £300 million for primarily-Tory, southern counties, to relieve the effect of his cuts there.
Instead, Clare Currie appears to have noted that this fund does not help anybody who isn’t a friend of her nephew, and took to the streets.
Take careful not of what she said: “I am here to protest against all of the cuts.” [Emphasis mine]
Bravo, madam!
David Cameron faces yet more humiliation today, after his aunt was photographed marching against Tory cuts in his own Oxfordshire county.
Clare Currie, who last week spoke out against cuts which will lead to the closure of 44 children’s centres, joined the anti-austerity demonstration on Saturday, and waved a banner reading “No ifs. No buts. No cuts.”
She was pictured at the demo, marching just a few feet in front of a banner for the local Labour Party.
Mrs Currie, who lives a stone’s throw from the Prime Minister’s constituency, said: “I am here to protest against all of the cuts – I think they are a big mistake.”

I was sort of quite surprised when, during last weeks PMQs, there was absolutely no question along the lines of “I have a question from Mary of Oxfordshire…….”. I wasn’t surprised that Corbyn didn’t say anything, because he doesn’t do ‘personal’, but the backbenchers is a different story I feel. Anyway, I wonder which is more embarrassing, getting attacked from MPs or your own family ? Bring it on I say ! LOL
good for her,pity his mother didn’t join in as well.
Good on her, hope she keeps up protesting against these brutal cuts which are not necessary, the Tories wrecking peoples lives at every level.
“He was probably hoping she would pipe down after he magicked up a grant of more than £300 million for primarily-Tory, southern counties, to relieve the effect of his cuts there.”
Wonder where he got the £300 million from and can other constituencies benefit from his generosity or is it reserved only for his preferred voting base councils?
Reserved for his voting-base:

I wonder how many more Tories feel the way Cameron’s aunt feels?
IS she a Tory, though?
Even if she was in the past, is she now?
