LONDON, UK – David Cameron is having to deal with another blow to his campaign after stumbling over an order of filet mignon at an exclusive London restaurant. The Conservative MP and long time elitist, is only just recovering from an episode over homosexual equality rights and is now again having to explain himself after attempting to order without the use of a menu. “I know I messed up and I’m sorry” said the Tory leader, “I was going for the beef as I always do, but then lamb entered my head. I just lost my train of thought.”
Jerome Smith, the waiter taking the order, said it was a shame that Cameron couldn’t remember his usual order. “Sometimes we run out of menus, it gets busy. But David’s been coming here for some time now and I would’ve expected him to know his usual order”. Cameron defended himself saying that after he took a moment to clear his head, he did remember his order, and his commitment to steak has not wavered.
Despite this, critics have been quick to use this clanger to question David Cameron’s ability to lead the country. “This just shows his clear lack of commitment to steak” blasted Labour Party leader Gordon Brown, “He obviously just reads from the menu and when it wasn’t there, lacked the core conviction to order the filet mignon straight away”. The minister for food, Hilary Benn, has also questioned Cameron’s claim to lead the country when he can’t remember a simple order.
The restaurant in question wishes to go unnamed for fear of becoming embroiled in political scandal. It is yet to be determined how the steak eating demographic will react going into the election campaign.
