David Cameron spent part of election day chopping logs, a form of relaxation he has recommended, according to Will Pavia of The Times.
'The People’s William' (Gladstone) was famous for chopping down trees – the voters used to make pilgrimage to Hawarden in the hope of seeing him at it.
But surely Cameron cannot expect to win any brownie points from his party for emulating such a Conservative hate figure?
"Randolph Churchill derided Gladstone’s penchant for cutting down trees, as proof that even in his pastimes his instincts were purely destructive."
