A microphone has picked up DavCam’s real thoughts when it comes to Brexit.
Astute readers may remember David Cameron. He was the Prime Minister who called an in/out referendum on EU membership to stem the cascade of votes flowing from his party to UKIP.
You may also remember he lost that vote and promptly resigned.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for a man who attached his political survival to the result of a yes/no referendum and lost, DavCam has said he thinks doing so was a “mistake.”
Cameron is recorded saying: “It’s frustrating, as I keep saying, it’s a mistake, not a disaster.
“It’s turned out less badly than we first thought, but it’s still going to be difficult.”
The man who called the EU referendum says what he really thinks about Brexit…

Judging by the recording it would appear Dave does not think he is being recorded and is, therefore, rather unguarded in his remarks.
