After David Cameron opened a genuine Twitter account yesterday, a parody account of the prime minister on the social media network has complained that it will be unable to compete with the real prime minister when it comes to sounding like an out-of-touch, upper-class twat.
The spoof Twitter account, Dave Camoron (@EtonOldBoys), has asked Twitter to take down the prime minister’s genuine account, David Cameron (@David_Cameron) on the grounds that satirising the prime minister will become impossible because he does it so much better himself.
In a statement, Dave Camoron said:
How are we expected to compete when it comes to real comedic genius such as taxing grannies and killing badgers? On behalf of all satirists we demand Twitter blocks this clear attempt to kill off satire in the UK by allowing the real prime minister to outdo us all on unbelievable self-parody.
However, in defence of himself, the prime minister has denied that tweeting about genuinely ridiculous government policies such as raising taxes on cornish pasties will make it more difficult for comedians to compete with reality.
In an interview on the BBC this morning, Mr Cameron said:
Come off it, everyone knows I’m a joke. Don’t tell me anyone was actually stupid enough to think I was being serious when I told them the NHS would be safe in my hands, were they?
The controversy comes just a few weeks after Mr Cameron denied suggestions he was going to be sold off by Rupert Murdoch to Pixar so he can star as Buzz Lightyear in their forthcoming production of Tory Story 4.

I sent a couple of tweets to “Dave” this morning… I asked him some questions and offered some critique of his policies without using any profanity what so ever.
It’s dreadfully lonely in there….
