UK PRIME MINISTER David Cameron is reported to have sworn at journalists when he learned of the row caused by his comment that Britain was to blame for many of the world’s problems.

The Prime Minister apparently turned on reporters on a plane journey back from Pakistan saying: “You f*****!” to one journalist when he learned of the controversy surrounding the publication of his remark, reports the Mail on Sunday.

Last week, while on an official visit to Pakistan Cameron responded to a question about how to solve the conflict in Kashmir, which is the subject of a long dispute between Pakistan and India, by saying:

I don’t want to try to insert Britain in some leading role where, as with so many of the world’s problems, we are responsible for the issue in the first place.

The remark drew some controversy with the letters pages of The Daily Telegraph, a paper traditionally supportive of the Conservative party of which Cameron is leader, carrying plenty of criticism of the Prime Minister, as did the Daily Mail.

Cameron only learned of the controversy surrounding his comment when he was on the plane home from Pakistan and wasn’t best pleased.

He is reported to have sought out the journalist who had written the story and told him: “You f*****!”, maintaining the comment had been blown out of proportion.
