David Cameron humiliated: Ex-PM’s huge blunder over ‘LOL’ meaning exposed

Mr Cameron is set to go down in British political history. Running for Prime Minister in 2015, Mr Cameron promised the nation that, should he win, his Conservative Party would put to the country whether it wished to remain a part of the EU or not.

He campaigned to Remain in Europe, and is widely regarded as having believed he would win.

Many, including the former Labour Party leader who Mr Cameron defeated, have suggested Mr Cameron went as far as to say “I’m a winner” in the run up to the Brexit vote.

Yet, on this occasion, Mr Cameron lost.

Now, the UK is set to leave the EU on the turn of the year – four years since the actual vote.

Remainers view his time as leader and subsequent decision to call the vote as a political blunder.

What they may also consider a blunder came via a text sent by Mr Cameron to a friend some years ago.

After sending Times columnist and Conservative member of the House of Lords, Daniel Finkelstein, his condolences after Mr Finkelstein’s father died, he left a peculiar acronym at the end of the text.

In his column on the weekend, Mr Finkelstein divulged the serious erorr of judgement.

He wrote: “My Friend Stewart Wood, Ed Miliband’s former adviser, has tweeted that he sent a text to a friend saying that he couldn’t wait to give them a big hug, only to realise that he had sent it to the man conducting the MOT of his car.

“It reminded me of my favourite text mishap, which came from David Cameron’s belief that LOL meant lots of love rather than laugh out loud.”

“As a result, he sent me a message that read: “So sorry to hear about the death of your Dad. LOL.”

It’s not the only serious blunder Mr Cameron has made, either.

In 2014, then Prime Minister, he was caught on camera telling Michael Bloomberg, the US politician and businessman, that the Queen “purred down the line” after he phoned her to say Scotland had voted no to independence.

His comments suggested the Queen was pleased with the result.

It was a rare, albeit accidental, breach of the convention that the Prime Minister never speaks about his consideration with the monarch.

Moreover, it jeopardised, at the time, the Queen’s traditional neutrality over political matters.

She had already broken her neutrality after being overheard telling a member of the public she hoped people in Scotland would think carefully about their future.

Unfortunately for Mr Cameron, his brief conversation was picked up by a Sky News cameraman.

He said: “The definition of relief is being the prime minister of the United Kingdom and ringing the Queen and saying: ‘It’s alright, it’s OK’.

“That was something.

“She purred down the line.”
