We don’t hear much from David Cameron these days. He’s generally too busy. He fills his time in many ways: writing a book; making bundles of cash; playing tennis; not taking the blame for Brexit.
But he’s given an interview to the Financial Times about Alzheimer’s disease and the search for a cure. It’s worth a read, and not just because it’s an important subject. It’s also a reminder of what was lost when Cameron fled Parliament last summer (I know – it seems much longer). To my mind, it is both shameful and a shame that Cameron has left the Commons, and did it in such a manner.
It shames him that having taken one of the most momentous decisions in modern British history, he ran away rather than answer for that decision and help deal with the many consequences of his referendum (note the possessive there: it’s important that history records that it was Cameron’s vote and Cameron’s choice).
