David
Cameron’s past comes back to haunt him at festival attended by Rebekah Brooks
David Cameron managed to avoid
a public encounter with Rebekah Brooks on a day out for the Chipping Norton
set.
After telling the Leveson Inquiry that appointing Andy Coulson “has come back to haunt both him and me”, David Cameron hoped to distance himself from his former communications chief.
Unfortunately for the Prime Minister, avoiding fellow members of the Chipping Norton set is easier said than done.
Mr Cameron allegedly came face to face with Mr Coulson at the Cornbury Music Festival in Oxfordshire on Saturday, where both men were enjoying a family day out.
According to onlookers, the pair spent several minutes chatting in the
VIP area. To add to the embarrassment for Mr Cameron, Rebekah Brooks, the
former News International executive, was at the same event, although their
paths are not thought to have crossed.
Both Mr Coulson and Mrs Brooks are on police bail in connection with the
phone hacking inquiry. They both deny any wrongdoing.
