WikimediaDavid Cameron’s had a tough few weeks, what with Ian Duncan Smith resigning from the cabinet, his government’s budget being widely criticised and the looming figure of Boris Johnson threatening our membership of the EU, so it’s no surprise that he’s had to take a break.
That’s right, David Cameron’s gone on his Easter jollies to Lanzarote to give himself ‘time to think’ and has asked British news organisations to leave him and his family alone, The Telegraph reports.

Unfortunately for ‘Lord Shiny Face’ his requests for privacy don’t apply to British tourists or Spanish newspapers, and from the minute he arrived the Prime Minister’s every move has been shared on social media, like the worlds dullest live blog.
Thankfully some twitter heroes have decided to use the opportunity to roast our poor beleaguered PM.
The old ones are the best…

The rugby player Jim Hamilton, kept everyone up to date on the PM’s movements…
I might see if I can get him on an episode of "don't mess with jim" @rwiggy9 for @David_Cameron @Saracens

@rwiggy9 mate you should see the amount of selfies going down here. I'm not sending them to my darling @ChrisAshton1 again though.

The irony of course is that while David sips Sangria he’s been urging other Brits to holiday in the UK. Which led to a pretty crappy defence of his actions.
Is it just us or is he admitting the PM is constantly slacking off his job?
Most people are lucky if they can afford one holiday, Prime Minister. https://t.co/U0uS4pNNih pic.twitter.com/iYtALz3hbp

Hope you’re having fun Dave, there’s a shit ton of work to do when you get back…
More of a concept than a journalist, Tom Percival was forged in the bowels of Salford University from which he emerged grasping a Masters in journalism.
Since then his rise has been described by himself as ‘meteoric’ rising to the esteemed rank of Social Editor at UNILAD as well as working at the BBC, Manchester Evening News, and ITV.
He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
