British PM mocked for eating hot dog with knife and fork
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has been skewered in the middle of a tense election campaign -- for eating a hot dog with a knife and fork. The Conservative leader's visit on Monday to a voter barbecue backfired as an attempt to appear as an everyman, relaxing in a blue shirt as the beer flowed.
The image was shattered when Cameron picked up cutlery to tackle the sausage-stuffed bread roll. Newspapers and social media seized on the photograph of Cameron using the cutlery as evidence that the prime minister is posh and unrelatable -- an image his party has battled to shake. David Cameron doesn't know how to eat a hot dog announced the Metro; I won't try to hide the fact I am posh was the headline of the Daily Mail.
What kind of person eats a hot dog with a knife and fork? asked The Times journalist David Jack. I do the same at McDonalds with a Big Mac just before I ask to see the wine list, joked Twitter user Peter Smith.
