Cameron gaffe

October 28th, 2007 | Author: paulwalternewbury

The Mail on Sunday reports:

David Cameron was accused of a politically incorrect gaffe last night over a lighthearted remark he made about one-legged Lithuanians at a meeting with leading figures in the arts world.

Labour said the Tory leader was guilty of “crass insensitivity” after the comment, made at an Arts Council lunch on Tuesday, was leaked to The Mail on Sunday.

According to Arts Council sources, Mr Cameron told his hosts: “I hope you won’t be giving grants to too many one-legged Lithuanian lesbians,” prompting embarrassed looks all round.

It seems that Cameron may have borrowed Boris Johnson’s joke book.
