Backlash against former PM Cameron after social media foodbank post
Russian connection: while we’re panning David Cameron for his shameless exploitation of the food banks whose use exploded under his premiership, let’s remember that he was also a close friend of Vladimir Putin’s Russian government.
The politician most closely associated with the surge in UK foodbank use has actually had the nerve to fanfare his volunteer work in one.
David Cameron’s harsh anti-social policies pushed foodbank use up by 2,612 per cent while he was prime minister.
No wonder people rushed to condemn his ill-advised attempt at self-publicity:
Foodbank use went up 2,612% while David Cameron was Prime Minister.
Apologise for that before you start posing for photos, @David_Cameron. https://t.co/99D5qCtHR2

Food bank reliance has soared, a problem austerity directly caused. How dare you look for plaudits now. Its pigging disgusting.

Probably the best put-down was by left-wing journalist Owen Jones.
He tweeted that it was like a ‘serial arsonist joining the local fire brigade’.
