#CameronTaxSongs: Twitter mocks Brit PM with lyrics of popular songs
David
Cameron has been in a storm following the Panama Papers leak. Amongst
the documents was evidence that the prime minister's father, Ian
Cameron, was a client of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. Now Twitter has decided to take a comic shot at the troubled politician with musical tributes. #CameronTaxSongs
started trending on the social media site on 10 April, with users
posting songs that best describe the PM's financial woes. Others have
also edited lyrics from popular songs to tell the story… and in most
cases it's pretty hilarious. Cameron
has released a summary of his tax returns for the last six years. The
data states he inherited £300,000 ($423,750) from his late father, but
also received gifts totalling £200,000 from his mother.
Mossack
Fonseca director Ramon Fonseca has denied any wrongdoing. He said the
firm had suffered a hack on its database and described the leak as "an
international campaign against privacy", according to Reuters.

I believe that we were all sent here for a reason and that we all have significance in the world. I genuinely feel that we are all blessed with unique gifts. The expression of our gifts contributes to a cause greater than us.
