LONDON, July 11, (APP/AFP) – British Prime Minister David Cameron
appeared to be humming a little tune to himself as he walked away from cameras after announcing he would hand over power to his successor Theresa May on Wednesday.
Cameron stepped away still wearing his lapel microphone and could be
heard singing to himself as he reached the door of 10 Downing Street, his official residence, in video footage broadcast by ITV.
As the door opened, he could be heard saying “Right!” before it closed
behind him and a scratching sound was audible, indicating the microphone was
removed.
Moments earlier the departing Conservative Party leader had announced:
“We’ll have a new prime minister in that building behind me by Wednesday
evening”.
Views differed among political journalists on Twitter over what Cameron
might have been singing after his momentous announcement on a day of high-drama in Westminster.
Bloomberg’s Rob Hutton said it sounded like the beginning of the theme
song for the hit US political drama series “West Wing”, while ITV’s Robert Peston said it was just a “Winnie-the-Pooh style hum”.
