TORY LEADER’S SHOOTING PASSION EXPOSED 

It has been revealed that Conservative leader David Cameron has a secret passion for shooting and often indulges in a spot of deer hunting on the Scottish island of Jura. 

The 40-year-old politician, tipped by many to be the future Prime Minister, has remained discreet about his love of hunting, however, for fear of alienating potential voters with animal rights sympathies. 

But keeping quiet about his hobby is something the Oxfordshire-born MP might not be able to keep up after hunting colleagues revealed his exceptional skill with a gun. 

Bruce Anderson, a political columnist and a shooting buddy of David Cameron, told journalists of the Tory leader’s ability behind the trigger, saying, “He has either a knack, or a source of good luck, envied by other stalkers. 

“When a stag is shot, the other beasts usually take off.  But David Cameron has sometimes managed to fire a second killing shot with his .234-calibre rifle at a range of about 100 yards, known as the ‘right-left’ technique, before the stags vanish. 

“That shows skill and composure.” 

That the Eton-educated politician has such hunting skills is no surprise as his wife’s stepfather, Viscount Astor, owns a 20,000-acre Jura estate that is said to be teeming with deer. 

Jura has a population of just 200 people but wealthy hunters from all over the world flock to the island in an attempt to shoot one of the distinctive dark-coloured red deer that inhabit the isle’s wilderness. 

A whole range of other country pursuits are popular among visitors to Jura and many come to the island for a spot of fishing or to sample the much-hailed local whisky. 

Whether Cameron is partial to a drop of Jura’s hard stuff is unknown but, if the Tory leader’s past is anything to go by, it’s likely that a few wee drams will pass his lips during his visits to the island. 

The popular politician is known to enjoy the odd tipple and was said to be a member of the infamous Bullingdon Club whilst at Oxford University.  The club exists as an exclusive dining association for wealthy students and has a reputation for wild drunkenness and inebriated debauchery.  Meals often descend into carnage and one aristocratic member is even reputed to have eaten a wine glass. 

It seems that David Cameron, however, has put these wild days behind him and now prefers some relaxing deer hunting in the Scottish countryside instead of youthful and exuberant drunkenness. 

Let’s just hope that he’s well prepared for his deer hunting and buys his country clothing from a top shooting supplier such as Litt’s.
