David Cameron on Gordon Brown in 2008:
“He has the Olympic torch in Downing Street but won’t touch it…If dithering was an Olympic sport, he would have a gold medal.”
David Cameron in 2012:
“Politicians aren’t allowed to touch it, quite rightly, the torch is about the people and the athletes.”
Hypocrite.
